What's nice about this one is that once the painting is revealed through finding all it's hidden objects, they are labeled with their title and their painter. You might see one you might like for in your own home and take this information to a retailer in paintings. I wouldn't say it is a hard game but rather tricky. Tricky is always cool. Keeps those brain cells moving.

I enjoyed this game very much, & I came to know some of the masterpieces in great detail, as this game requires scouring each canvas for "artfully" hidden objects, as well as spotting oft-times very obscure differences . . . Each level earns you points that can be redeemed for decorating & furnishing an apartment . . . Sometimes the differences in side-by-side canvases are very difficult to spot, as noted, & hidden objects can be difficult to find due to the resolution of the graphics . . . Too many hints taken can detract from the overall point total for a painting search . . . But - you can play this untimed - which is awesome . . . !

Big Fish has much better quality and more hidden object games than other game sites that I have tried. I love art, so naturally I love to play this game.

Was fun and relaxing not to hard.

The find the difference sections of this game are its strength. Overall the hidden object isn't real hard but it is fun to see what details really do belong in classic paintings. I'm looking at details I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Lovely game ? about 5-6 hours long, depending on how often you try to increase your score. Help Lana restore valuable paintings and use the money earned to furnish her sanctuary. Each painting has you finding (1) a list of objects (2) a certain number of specified objects, such as butterflies (3) pairs of objects (4) differences or (5) objects by silhouette. If you prefer a list to silhouettes, or vice versa, just restart until you get the type of HOS you want. When playing lists or silhouettes, popups will appear to the left with a list of 3 objects, which you must find in order. Earn up to $2,200 for successfully completing each popup. If you didn?t earn that (like if you didn?t get the $1,000 for not using a hint), you can increase your score by replaying the painting. There are many background noises, such as walking, laughter, wagon wheels turning, squeaky doors, knocking and heavy breathing. Some are fine while others are annoying (really who needs a heavy breather!). There?s also a silly little sound whenever you find anything ? I like that one as it makes me feel like I?m accomplishing something. If you need a hint, the first is free but you have to pay for additional hints. You have to acknowledge the cost; if too high, you can choose to continue looking. You can replay each level for a higher score as many times as you want. Tip: sometimes, objects are found under the brushes at the left top of the screen. You do have to wait for each painting to load, but it?s not that long. The graphics are wonderful. You get to see many really good paintings and learn a little about some of them. Music is relaxing and you can look at the gallery of paintings anytime you are at the main menu.

Tried to like this for the sake of the wonderful paintings, but couldn't - identifying items simply from an outline was too tiring,and eventually boring. I've also tried Hidden World of Art 2 (Undercover Art Agent) which I liked much better, and I may well buy. In this sequel the items are smaller and harder to find but they are listed by name, and you can still get an outline drawing by hovering the curser over the name. The hint system in both games is particularly ungenerous: one per scene. You can buy more hints but they get progressively more expensive and this means you have less to spend refurnishing your room. But as you have no real choice of furnishings, or placement of them, I think this part of the game could definitely use more development.

In this game you try to find hidden objects in classical paintings. An art restorer works on various paintings and interacts with various people who want to hire her. You find out information about many of the paintings. The hidden objects were sometimes listed and sometimes you see outlines. Sometimes you have to find hidden pairs or find the differences or find twenty of the same things. You get a bonus for not using hints. There is a penalty for clicking too much. You get to decorate a room with the money you earn from restoring the paintings. One of the things I liked best was looking at the gallery of art work. This is part of the opening menu, and you can click to view all the paintings. That's the basic game information. Although I enjoyed playing the game, there are some real problems with it. For one, the game creators needed to have a better translator to put the game into English. The wording was extremely awkward most of the time. Also, some of the items were barely visible, either too dark or behind something or on the extreme edge of the screen. One other thing that I thought was a problem was decorating the room. If you spent money on a chair, chances are that you'll be buying a better chair later, which means that you wasted your money on the first one. This happens over and over. But with all the problems, I did enjoy playing the game and recommend it.

Too dark to find some objects. Even using a hint you many not see one. Many objects are misnamed.....I realize European names differ from American but a military canteen is NOT a flask & a butter mold is not a mortor. When you try to furnish some rooms the furnishings vanish! Overall it is simply a terrible game.

This is a pretty fun game regardless of the negative things about it. However, the story is simple. You are a promising painter that can correct the mistakes in older paintings. So, you are hired by different clients to fix on those paintings. So, the challenge of this game is okay. The stuff are hard to find sometimes, and the translations of a few of the items are pretty much off. For example, it could be asking you a spool of yarn, and the thing you have to pick up is a spool of thread. Those two items are totally different. So, you might end up clicking senselessly til you get the right item. Visual and Sound of the game is bad. Actually, I can say there is no music at all. I think one way that would beef up the game is if they added some classical music. Since most of the paintings you are correcting kinda range around the classical, baroque, romantic, and other past periods I can think of. Fun factor of the game is pretty dull, but I had to say this. The game is a good time waster. If you need a break from those hard core puzzle hidden object games. This game is just for you. Not only that it tries to mix it up. If you do a really good job, the painting is added to your gallery. Overall, a lot of improvement is needed in this game. I will give my honest opinion that this game is a 2 star game. A lot could of been done to make it better.
