Hidden Kitchen Game Review

Hidden Kitchen Game Background

Hidden Kitchen is a searching game where you must find a set of objects hidden within an image of a kitchen. Find all the listed items on the top right before the timer expires to finish each level.

This game was developed by Zygomatic.

How to Play Hidden Kitchen

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. On the welcome screen, select Play to begin.

Select any object to find it. To zoom in, left click and hold on a mouse if you’re on a desktop or pinch with your fingers if you’re on a touchscreen device.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Your task is to find all the hidden objects in the cluttered kitchen. The objects you must find appear in the vertical menu near the right edge of the welcome screen. Every item you find on the list is cleared off the list. Selecting anywhere other than the items you’re supposed to be looking for will subtract 5 seconds from the timer. If you run out of time, you will fail the level. Select Try Again to replay the level or Quit to clear your progress and end the game.

If you’re ever stumped, hit the hint button on the top left corner of the screen.

The game has 10 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You cannot replay levels you’ve already beaten. Each time you reload the game, you can choose to start over from the beginning or play from the last level you unlocked. As you play through the game, the number of seconds you’re given to play goes down by 20 seconds. You begin with 5 minutes on the first level and end with 2 minutes on the tenth.

You earn 10 points for every item you find and receive a 5-point time bonus for every second left on the timer. Using a hint, however, will subtract 50 points from your score. You can save your final score on the leaderboard after you finish all 10 levels or quit after failing a level.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Some of the items are quite small and can be difficult to look for even when the screen is full. Consider playing while zoomed in for much of the game to make it easier to spot items.
