Mystery Objects Zen Garden is a free mobile hidden-object puzzle game in which you search for hidden objects in a beautiful Asian garden. The simple game mechanic and tranquil visuals create a relaxing experience for kids and adults alike.

Cultivate your garden

If you've played other hidden-object puzzle games, you'll find Mystery Objects Zen Garden pretty familiar. You search through a variety of images of a lush garden, looking for objects amidst the foliage and clutter. You can zoom in to magnify areas of the garden, which is especially useful if you're playing on a device with a smaller screen. Find the hidden object and you're off to the next puzzle with a new object to look for. There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the gameplay -- it's more or less the same as any other hidden object puzzle game on the market -- but the garden locations look good and the overall effect of the game is relaxing rather than boring. The gentle soundtrack contributes to the overall atmosphere of zen-like calm. It also has plenty of content, with over 1000 objects for you to find. Like many free mobile games, this one is supported by ads, which can sometimes feel irritatingly intrusive.

Not challenging but relaxing

Mystery Objects Zen Garden is an enjoyable, relaxing puzzle game, hardly groundbreaking but an engaging way to while away a few moments here and there.
