hidden object

Camouflaged sought thing

Hidden object describes a genre of puzzle game where players search a cluttered scene to find specific items from a list.

The format originated in casual computer games and remains popular in mobile apps: I play hidden object games to unwind.

The term also applies to any concealed item meant to be discovered, as in Easter eggs tucked into films or software.
