Our take on Hidden Paws

The defining search cue is audio: cats meow as the search approaches their hiding places.

What is Hidden Paws?

Search winter landscapes for cats that are outside in the cold, then bring them home.

The game includes 12+ winter landscapes and over 120 cats to find. Cats can be tucked inside cars and boxes or concealed among wood piles and in forests. Their meows grow audible when the search gets close, giving players a sound cue to follow. Christmas content adds 4 festive isles and 2 more magical locations. The central activity is exploring each setting and locating the cats hidden within it.
