Find The Candy — Play Free Online

Find The Candy is a hidden-object puzzle where the prize is never lying in plain sight. Each level is a small scene full of things you can touch, and somewhere in it a piece of candy is tucked away. Your job is to poke, lift and drag the scenery until it turns up.

It is a slower, more curious kind of game than most of what sits around the Doodle Jump headline on this site. There is no timer pushing you and no falling off a platform; a level lasts as long as you want to keep investigating, which makes it a good break between fast jumpers.

How to play

The game is played with the mouse or a finger. Click or tap an object to interact with it, or drag it to lift it out of the way and see what sits underneath. Some things react, some reveal another item, and some are only decoration, so experimenting is the whole game. The page lists keyboard movement keys in its catalogue data, but the game itself is about pointing and dragging rather than steering anything.

Each level has two goals. The main one is the hidden candy. The second is a set of three stars scattered around the scene, and you also pick up gifts and special objects that build into a collection as you go. You can finish a level without every star, but collecting them is where most of the puzzle lies.

Tips

• Drag everything at least once. Objects that look fixed in place are often the ones hiding something.
• Try combining actions: move an object, then interact with whatever it was covering.
• If you are stuck, go back to items you only clicked and try dragging them instead.
• On a phone, tap precisely; small items near the edges of the scene are easy to miss with a broad thumb.
