Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects review

Seekers Notes is the deepest of the story-driven games here. You play in Darkwood, a Victorian city under a curse, and search richly drawn locations for hidden objects to complete quests and fill collections. MYTONA adds match-3 levels, logic and memory games, a mosaic jigsaw and spot the difference scenes, so there is always something else to do between searches. The social side is strong: the developer says more than 40 million players have joined, and an in-game chat lets you ask for hints. New story events, quests and locations arrive every month for free. The downsides are size and complexity. At 1.1 GB it is the largest download here, and the artifact and collection systems take some learning, which is why it sits just behind Criminal Case on ease. Paid ruby offers start at $0.99, and some purchases include random items. We compared documented features and published prices.
