Exciting Hidden Object Challenges

In this fast-paced hidden object game, hurry to find objects in the mansion requested by customers. The faster you find the objects in the mansion's cluttered rooms, the better the customers will pay you. Once you gain popularity, you'll attract customers that want groups of items, like the library asking for 20 books.

Find hints in each scene like a thermometer that indicates if you're close to an item or a camera that flashes briefly and shows the items you have left to find. Once you make some money you can buy new decorations for your garden, like romantic benches, a dog kennel and a fish pond.

Review by Sara

Gardenscapes is a gem among hidden objects games with its interactive graphics and long hours of re-playability.

Modes to Fit Your Style

The game includes both relaxed and timed modes so you can play how you want. Timed mode includes time bonuses for promptly locating items which increases the game pace and provides an extra challenge for the more active player.

Putting Up With the Narration Pays Off

The game also features unique graphics that react to cursor movement like highlighting missing objects with orbs of light or objects that make sounds when you interact with them. The guided narration in the game can become trivial and annoying at times but also offers helpful hints that can increase the money you can earn to renovate your garden.

Conclusion - An Excellent Hidden Object Game

Offering unique bonuses and a garden improvement theme, Gardenscapes is a fun game that offers a fresh twist to the hidden object genre.
