Project Overview

'Discover Hong Kong' is a Hidden Objects Game. This game is for people who really love and interested in Hong Kong's culture, also people who miss and remember the old days. We're going back to a time when Hong Kong was different. Imagine the 1960s to the 1990s. There are four typical Hong Kong local stores to explore. The main theme of the game is to discover the unique and fascinating Hong Kong local stores. The game is designed for desktop and tablet users.

The Objectives

The game has two main goals. The game gives the player a challenge to find hidden objects. This helps the player get better at paying close attention. Furthermore, the player can explore the features of the old stores in Hong Kong through finding the hidden objects in each scene.

The Hidden Objects

The hidden objects, randomly assigned to the player when the game starts, can take the form of icons, letters, Chinese characters, or numbers, representing elements typically found in local stores in Hong Kong. The inclusion of Chinese characters adds an interesting and educational dimension for players unfamiliar with Hong Kong and Chinese cultures.

Special Highlights

The cats are the highlights of the game. In this game, there is a cat hidden in each scene. Just like real shop cats. Sometimes they are hidden, and you can spot them if you're lucky. Shop cats are very common in local stores in Hong Kong, and they become famous and beloved by both shop owners and customers. They are literally the 'Shop Managers'.

The street signs serve as decorations in the game, featuring uniquely designed and consistent road sign motifs. Additionally, the vibrant HK Tram Green is utilized as the theme color.
