Introducing Viqua Games HideNSeek (Beta)!
Category: Game News, Site NewsToday we’re excited to unveil our newest game! Well, it isn’t just a game .. you could say it’s potentially hundreds of games!
I’m talking about Viqua Games HideNSeek, a new game service that lets you create your own hidden object game and share them with friends online. You upload your own photos as backgrounds and then choose from hundreds of objects in many categories to hide.
You can customize many things in your games such as the interface color, the text to display when the player wins, and other stuff.
You can easily share the games you create by sending the link to your games to friends, posting them on your blog, or even embedding your games on your website.
And (maybe best of all!) as a player, you will have tons of HideNSeek hidden object games to play!
We’re currently in Beta so there may be some bugs remaining. We also have more features being developed. So let us know if you have any problems or have any suggestions through our contact form or by commenting on this blog post!
UPDATE: Name change! Previously this service was known as MysteryFoto, but we believe HideNSeek better describes the service. We will make sure that any old links/embeds you have to old games will still work.

hello, I really enjoyed and loved a lot the idea to create an online flash hidden object games, it really make us love HO games better.
My suggestion is: when creating a game, I think if there are more than one page it will be more appreciated and members will share their best, and it will be more enjoyable, more than one page mean that the story must be continued in one game, if u complete the first scene u can go to another one, and if there is a chance too to create a puzzle picture: to upload a picture and add it like a puzzle, thanks for all, I hope u will consider my suggestion.

Hi hicham!
Thanks for your suggestions!
As a matter of fact, we’re working on enabling multiple pages per game right now.
For uploading pictures as a puzzle, that’s a great idea. We’ll think about it

this is a brilliant idea and far easier to use than clickteams ‘the games factory’
will it be possible in the future for users to download their games as executable files? or ever release the HideNSeek creator as a downloadable app?

HideNSeek: great idea! I’m promoting your site everywhere.
Would it be possible to choose between some background music?
Just a few kinds: creepy - classical - funny, for instance.

Thanks so much Sanner! Glad you like it!
Yes, having background music would be cool, hopefully we’ll be able to find some time to add it.

Like the site very much Just found the site and think it is great. Very different and exciting.

And a second wish: option to choose the language of the names of the hidden objects.
I’m very willing to translate the names into Dutch (costless, of course).

A third wish: 1 hint for every 7 objects…

Little beta bug: if I switch from page x - Most Played to Top Rated, the list starts not a page 1 but at page x.

Fourth wish:
- only allowing hogs in “top rated” with at least 5 ratings.
- or remove list “top rated”.
With only a few ratings, this topic doesn’t say much. It’s easy to ask some friends to rate your hog excellent and you’re at the top…

Would it be possible to add our own objects? The more talented among us can do their own trimming but perhaps others can upload photos for Viqua to do the hard work, for a fee of course.
