You might be wondering why I’ve included such an outdated looking game on this list. Well, it’s because I found it to be one of the most challenging hidden object games out of the lot. Traveler Notes, partly thanks to its poor graphical quality, poses a significant challenge as you have to look really close to locate the hidden objects. There’s no story line per se, but each scene is more difficult that the previous one, with exceptionally well hidden objects. You can choose between two game modes – text and silhouette – both of which come with their own set of challenges.
