How the hunt works

Look closely. Tap carefully.

Simple to pick up, harder to master. Each stage is a painted page with a list to clear.

  • Scenes packed with things

    Every stage shows one busy watercolor scene. Somewhere in it sits every item you have been asked to find.

  • A target list to clear

    Read your list, then work through it. Each target you tap gets crossed off the page.

  • Race the clock

    The timer runs while you search. Finish with more time on the clock and your score climbs.

  • Accuracy counts

    Precise taps are rewarded. Jabbing at the screen and hoping will not get you a top score.

  • Gentle start, real challenge

    Early pages ease you in. Later ones hide targets in the busiest corners of the painting.

  • Chase a better run

    Time left and tap accuracy both feed your score, so any stage is worth one more attempt.

About the game

A quiet game about paying attention

Storybook Hunt: Watercolor Whimsy began with a simple idea — that a hidden-object game should feel like leafing through an illustrated storybook rather than scanning a cluttered screenshot. So every stage is built as a painted page: soft watercolor washes, warm paper, and dozens of small objects tucked into the brushwork.

The rules stay honest and easy to learn. You are given a list of targets, you are given a clock, and the rest is down to how carefully you look. Early pages are forgiving. Later ones hide a teacup behind a hedge, a key in a shadow, a ribbon in a pattern that almost matches it. Score comes from the time you have left and how cleanly you tap, which makes a single page worth revisiting long after you have cleared it.

It is made for anyone who likes to slow down and search: a few calm minutes between things, or a long session working through the harder stages. We keep painting new pages to hunt through.
