Hidden Object Game Maker

Make a hidden object game in your browser.

Scatter items, clues, and collectibles across detailed scenes. Track what the player finds, clear a room to open the next, and weave in puzzles — all built visually, no coding.

EscapeMaker is built for escape games first — and a hidden object game is the same hunt: search a scene, find what’s hidden, use what you collect. The pieces are already here.

How it works

Everything a hidden object game needs, already built in

You don’t script an engine. You place the objects and bring the scene — the collectibles system, find-count tracking, and clear-the-room logic come ready to use.

🔍

Hide and find anything

Place items, clues, or collectibles anywhere in a scene and reveal them on click. Overlapping hit areas and close-up popups let you tuck things into tight spots.

📋

Track the find-count automatically

A collectibles system counts what’s been found. Check the count with conditions, show progress, and fire an event the moment a scene is fully cleared.

🚪

Clear a room, open the next

The “all collectibles found” event can fire per-scene (this room is clean → unlock the next area) or for the whole game (everything found → the finale). One event, no per-item wiring.

🎒

Collect into an inventory

Found items can drop into an inventory, combine with each other, and be used on objects in the world — for hidden-object-meets-adventure hybrids.

🛍

Spend what you find

Turn finds into a currency and let players spend them in a built-in shop on hints, unlocks, or bonus scenes.

🧩

Gate scenes with puzzles

Drop any of ten puzzle types between rooms — combination locks, jigsaws, sliders, and more — so finding isn’t the only challenge.

✨

Satisfying ‘found it!’ feedback

Pop a shine, flash, or particle burst, play a sound, and animate an item as it’s collected. Add a timer for against-the-clock rounds.

💾

Publish or export

Publish to the EscapeMaker Portal in one click, or (on paid plans) export the whole game as one self-contained HTML file to host anywhere.

What you can build

From a single scene hunt to a full collectathon

Classic scene hunts. Find every hidden object in a cluttered room to move on.
Spot-the-difference & I-Spy. Hunt themed lists across painted scenes.
Detective searches. Collect evidence, then use it on people and places.
Collectathons. Scatter coins or stars across a whole game and reward 100%.
Educational find-its. “Find the parts of the cell” or vocabulary hunts.
Hidden-object adventures. Mix searching with inventory puzzles and story.
Real toolset, no add-ons

Built from EscapeMaker’s actual feature set

Nothing here is a “coming soon.” These are the same tools that ship thousands of escape games — pointed at the hunt.

FAQ

Hidden object questions

Can I make a hidden object game without coding?

Yes. Place objects, mark them as collectibles, and the visual event system handles the rest — counting finds, clearing scenes, and unlocking the next area.

How does the game know when a scene is cleared?

A built-in “all collectibles found” event fires when every collectible in the current scene is found (or every one in the whole game). You decide what happens next — navigate, reward, or celebrate.

Can players collect items into an inventory?

Yes. Found items can go into an inventory, combine together, and be used on objects — so you can build hidden-object-meets-adventure games.

Can I hide things in hard-to-reach spots?

Yes. Use close-up popups to zoom into part of a scene, and overlapping hit areas to tuck items behind others.

Is it really built for escape games?

Yes — and searching a scene for what’s hidden is exactly what escape games do. You’re using a focused point-and-click tool, not a blank engine.

Can I export my hidden object game?

On paid plans, export the whole game as one self-contained HTML file. On any plan, publish free to the EscapeMaker Portal.
