Little Shop of TreasuresLittle Shop of Treasures, from Gamehouse, is the latest game in the very popular “hidden objects” genre, where the player attempts to locate objects cleverly concealed in plain sight.

The game is set in a charming little town called Huntington, and you are new to town but dream of opening your own Little Shop of Treasures in a run-down building you’ve purchased. To make you dream come true, you need to earn some money. You have a knack for locating hard-to-find items, and soon go to work at various businesses in town, helping customers locate what they’re looking for. As you earn money, you’re able to fix up your dilapidated building and ultimately open your very own store.

In Little Shop of Treasures, you are shown a scene containing hundreds of different objects, and the particular objects you’re looking for are listed at the bottom of the screen. By closely examining the scene, and clicking on the objects as you find them, you complete the level and progress through the game. But hurry, you only have a limited amount of time to find everything!

Little Shop of Treasures is similar to games such as Mystery Case Files, Hide & Secret, and Travelogue 360: Paris, but with a unique charm all its own.

The game features two great ways to play (”standard” and “blitz” modes), along with an innovative hint feature, and endless re-playability. With over 1,200 unique items to find, contained in 12 intricately detailed scenes, this eye-popping challenge will bend your brain and dazzle your eyes!
