Hidden object detective games

This cluster comprises hidden-object detective games that blend match-3 puzzles, crime-scene searches, and mystery-solving, often with town restoration or romantic subplots. Entries appeared sporadically from February 2014 to November 2023, forming a low, steady cadence with no discernible trend. The traction leaders, all with zero stars, are Found It! Hidden Object Game, Criminal Case: Hidden Objects, and Hidden Objects: Puzzle Games.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
