Can You See What I See? Dream Machine is one of the hardest hidden object games I have ever played.

Inside the game, the screen divides up into four parts. Clicking on the plus allows you to highlight one of the four quadrants to zoom in on. Trust me you will need it! Some of the items are teeny tiny.

When first starting the game you are told how Clyde Curfuffle wants to give his niece and nephew presents for their birthday. He wants to give his niece a fairy tale book and his nephew a robot radio. However, the absent-minded scientist forgot where he put the presents and the birthday party is tomorrow! You are the lucky person selected to find the presents. This means finding hidden objects, solving puzzles, and deciding dreams. That is where the dream machine comes in to play.

You must collect all the pieces of the dream machine in order to find the presents. The machine will interpret each of Clyde Curfuffle’s dreams. He hopes that you can use the dream machine to interpret his dreams and locate the presents for his niece and nephew. First you have to collect all the pieces to the dream machine. After finding all the pieces, you can use the machine to interpret the dream. Only after you interpret the dreams can you find the presents, give the kids a happy birthday, and save the day.

What makes this game different than other hidden object games is the list of objects. You don’t get so see everything you need to find at once. As you find the hidden items, more appear until the figure on the side is completely filled.

Many times, you are asked to find several of the same items. This does not mean each item looks the same either. For example: if it asks for 4 cats, there could be a porcelain cat, a toy cat, a picture of a cat, and wallpaper design that looks like a cat.

In each scene, you are asked to find Seymour. Seymour is a monkey that helps you along by giving you the instructions. If you get stuck, there is a question mark (?) to click that gives a hint on locating the hidden object. If you really get stuck, you can click the back arrow in the corner to go back to the dream machine and work on a different puzzle for awhile. Then, when you are ready, you are allowed to return to your game already in progress.

Can You See What I See? Dream Machine challenges your mind. Only play it if you are up for a challenge. The items can be very small and hard to find. If you have an eye for details, this game is for you.
