I am working on filling out the information on each game. Its set around the 20s, so it's basically art-deco style. As "free to play" game (you only get 10 turns at a time and must wait for your turns to regenerate), this game does not have an ending. It's not clear why you have an island to decorate - this game is a mash-up of the two styles of games. During gameplay, you earn coins, objects and other things that you can turn into building and other decorations for your island. You will play the same hidden object scenes multiple times. You play hidden object scenes (over and over and over and over). Pearl's Peril (F2P) This is available through Facebook.
There is a little more character development, meaning there are some cutscenes that explain why you're building these three tanks and making them "beautiful." This game is totally geared towards kids but it's cute enough for adults to enjoy. The artwork is bright and cheerful.įishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey (BF) This game is almost identical to Aquascapes. You need to occasionally feed your fish - just click on the shaker and hold it over the fish that is indicating it is hungry. You then use that money to buy fish and other items for your fish tanks. While playing hidden object scenes and some mini-games, you earn money (and shells). Here's a non-exhaustive list of HOGs that also have some "decoration" game play mixed in:Īquascapes (BF) This game and Fishdom H2O are almost identical.

Graphics are not very clear but there's something infectious about this game.īig City Adventure: series (BF)Ĭruise Clues: Caribbean Adventure (BF) - very similar to the Cruise Director games except there is a minimal plot of trying to catch an international jewel thief while on this cruise.

Often these games are older (developed before 2013), though there are a few series still being churned out. For those who loved the SAT -> All HOPAs are HOGs, but not all HOGs are HOPAs. These do not contain any tool collection nor maps as you would find in a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure Game (HOPA) - a subcategory of the larger family of hidden object games. They mainly consist of Hidden Object Scenes (HOS) and maybe some mini-games. Hidden Object Games are the most basic form of these games.
