Our take on The Flying Dutchman

Players are most likely to bounce when the investigation settles into repeated searches through locations. Anyone who finds randomized object hunts demanding or repetitive may hit that wall before reaching the truth behind the legend.

What is The Flying Dutchman?

The Flying Dutchman is a challenging hidden-object game centered on the legend of a ghost ship.

Players investigate locations, search for objects, and examine evidence connected to the mystery. Hundreds of objects are placed randomly throughout dozens of locations, making the search scenes vary as the investigation continues. The game focuses on finding items and uncovering the truth behind the Flying Dutchman.

02Dozens Of Locations
