Hidden around the World Launches on Switch, PC & Mobile
Ogre Pixel has released Hidden around the World, a cosy hidden-object adventure now available on Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile. From the creators of Hidden in my Paradise and A Tiny Sticker Tale, the new game is built around relaxed, interactive city scenes, with a key hook that extends beyond a standard checklist hunt: a Sandbox Mode that lets players build and share their own levels.
Players travel with Laly, a photography apprentice, and her fairy companion, Coronya, exploring hand-drawn versions of famous cities while searching for tiny objects, recreating snapshot scenes, and poking around environments designed to be playful rather than punishing.
A Globe-Trotting Hidden-Object Tour, Designed for Slow Play
Hidden around the World takes players through 12 cities, including Paris, Tokyo, New York, Venice, and Mexico City. Each location is presented as a cosy diorama filled with small interactions, where moving items can reveal what is tucked underneath and “searching” feels more like gentle wandering than rapid scanning.
The game’s structure also leans into photography. Instead of only ticking off object lists, players are asked to replicate specific scenes by finding the right items and then snapping a photo. That layer gives the hunts a clearer purpose than pure “find X things”, and it suits the travel postcard tone Ogre Pixel is aiming for.
“We wanted players to have a relaxed, joyful time exploring famous cities, searching for tiny hidden objects, and completing fun missions,” says Steve Durán, Director of Ogre Pixel.
Sandbox Mode Turns It into a Shareable Cosy Platform
The bigger audience-facing feature is Sandbox Mode, which shifts Hidden around the World from a finite adventure into something closer to a cosy creation tool. Players can place shops, parks, décor props, and characters to build their own levels, then share them locally or online. It is the kind of feature that can extend the game’s life well beyond its core campaign, especially if the community embraces it as a lightweight “make your own city scene” pipeline.
“We’re especially proud of the Sandbox Mode because it turns players into creators,” says Durán. “It’s a feature that encourages imagination, letting you build, decorate, and share your own cities while discovering others’ creations.”
Hidden around the World is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile.
