Is it just me or does it seem to others that there is a trend lately for very small objects, some so small its difficult to identify what they are.

I have a large screen and if it is hard for me it must be close to impossible for those with much smaller screens. Maybe my eyeballs are shrinking!! Now if only the rest of my body would shrink a bit also, that would be welcomed.

Hi Cherie, I thought the games are getting easier from the early HOGs. I remember pulling my hair out on some of them and having to ask extra my family to be extra eyes for me.

I do not get a chance to play the all though, so there may be a bunch that are getting smaller.

I've found some of the HOGs have very tiny things to find but when I can't see them, I just click all over the screen until something 'hits'. Eventually I find them, or I use the 'hints' to find obscure things. It is a bit annoying sometimes, but then if all games were very easy, they wouldn't be any fun, right? lol

I haven't found them to be too small. But it could be just me. Sorry that you are having issues. However, there are so many HOGS coming out lately, hopefully they will get better for you. I am in HOG/IHOG heaven lately an just loving it. There are so many more to look forward to. Keep em coming!!

I am not inferring that I don't like the games, I do and the quantity and quality is very good in the majority of the games. It just seemed to be that the trend to very small objects is growing. I don't enjoy them any less, the challenge is beter than the no brainers. I was only siting and observation and wondered if others concur with that.

I love all of the Hidden Object games that BFG has on their website for the last few weeks. It has been a "BIG FISH" feast. And I, usually, prefer the IHOGS where you do more than just find objects, but use the items for something else. However, I have noticed that some of the HOGs are so dark that I cannot distinguish one item from another and that some of the objects are too small for my monitor to show them clearly or it may be my eyes. LOL So I agree with Cherie on some of the games like Ghost Town Mysteries: Brodie are dark and small objects. But then there are games like Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal which are clear graphics, brightly lit, and good size objects.

I tend to go backwards on the list of objects, works better for me-I also read magazines starting from the back page. lol

I found several games that the objects where so small and hard to recognize what it look like. The Count of Monte Cristo game was like that. I keep a magnifier by my computer as these old eyes not as sharp as they where. I don't want them to be huge but a better way to hide them in a scene.
