Hidden Express’ brisk tempo is well-suited for a Facebook game, but the Facebook format also amplifies its weaknesses. Even when all seems lost, finding listed objects at the last possible second will pull the vanishing train back onto the tracks and buy you a little time. The train-based timer mixes things up and offers a much more interesting challenge than a straight ten-to-zero countdown. Hidden Express is not good for HOG beginners, which is a funny thing to have to say about a game in a genre that’s generally regarded as casual.īut that means HOG veterans will love Hidden Express‘ concept that much more. And the hidden object scenes themselves are very crowded. Some are painted with the names of two or three objects that you need to find before the car can disappear and move you a bit closer to world hidden on the engine. You will, however, need to do the scene over again. If the caboose slides into the tunnel with the rest of the choo-choo, you fail and hundreds die in a burning wreck. If you find the object that has its name painted on the head of the train, you’re permitted to move on to the next scene.
Your job is to find the objects described on each boxcar, which shortens the train and eventually reveals the engine.
All you need to know is that there’s a train with a bunch of words painted on its boxcars, and said train winds through several hidden object scenes. It’s fun, it’s a great idea, but it’s not without its annoyances. Hidden Express for Facebook is like those coy little food games. When you were a kid, did your parents shove spoonfuls of food near your mouth and croon, “Open wide-here comes the choo-choo train?” Maybe you found it annoying, but kind of fun at the same time (maybe you still do. Hidden Express will eventually tunnel into your heart, but it might take a detour on the way.
