Top 5 hidden object games for Android Top 5 hidden object games for Android

Among all genres casual gaming can fit into, hidden object games (or HOG) definitely lead the market. This popular trend gets players scouring scenery searching for various kinds of items hidden in a way to make them hard to spot. In most cases, you deal with some sort of a mysterious plot and creepy atmospherics and have a set of 'where's the object' tasks to complete. The only trouble is, since hidden object titles are spreading like wildfire, they all become pretty repetitive and even boring, which makes it tough to pick out a decent one to play. So, to somehow ease your choice, we've made a list of the most captivating games the hidden object genre has to offer.

Both the first-rate gameplay and well-crafted plot of Special Enquiry Detail make the game a perfect combination of challenging puzzles and engaging searches. The graphics are mostly realistic, the storyline does make sense, and the dialogues sound smart and rational.
