Gamers will have about 20 minutes to complete each of the 25 locations and can ask for a hint or two if stuck.

The core game-play should be familiar to HOG fans: gamers will be presented with a busy indoor or outdoor scene (porch, boathouse, gazebo, cellar, kitchen, etc.) and a number of items to find will be listed at the bottom of the screen, such as a trophy, muffin, wire cutters, brass instrument, and so on.

SpinTop Games’ just-launched Escape Rosecliff Island doesn’t mess with the formula much – in fact, some may argue it has delivered virtually the same game as one of its predecessors (read on) – but still proves to be a fun object-hunting game with atmospheric graphics and enjoyable mini-games. Played one "HOG" – or "hidden object game" – and you’ve played them all?
