Explore historical scenes, find hidden characters and items, and solve puzzles in a unique and engaging gameplay experience.
Hidden Through Time is a hidden object puzzle video game developed and published by Crazy Monkey Studios. Released in 2020, the game is available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
In Hidden Through Time, players search hand-drawn animated scenes to locate historical characters, items, and moments hidden in the artwork. Each intricate scene depicts an important event throughout history or mythology, such as ancient battles, voyages of discovery, or advances in science and culture.
The objective is to spot and select the hidden objects in each puzzle. Items may appear very small or cleverly blended into the scenery. Hints are available to assist players in finding particularly tricky objects. Accurately identifying all the hidden items is necessary to advance to the next puzzle.
As players progress, the animated scenes become increasingly more complex and challenging. There are over 100 puzzles in story mode spanning historical moments from ancient civilizations to the 20th century. Additional puzzle packs featuring other famous historical events, myths, and legends are available for purchase as DLC.
Hidden Through Time features colorful hand-drawn artwork and animations, interesting facts about history unlocked as players advance, and an atmospheric soundtrack. The game has received positive reviews for its puzzle designs, educational value, and accessibility.
