How to play

How to play Hidden Flamingo

  1. Pick a scene from the level board. Every scene holds exactly one flamingo.
  2. Press the button when you are ready: the picture appears and the clock starts.
  3. Search the whole picture. Zoom in and pan to look closer, then click or tap the flamingo the moment you spot it.
  4. A wrong tap adds one second. Stuck? One hint per hunt rings the region the flamingo is in and adds ten seconds, and the hunt still ranks.
  5. Your time is the search plus any penalties. Your first clear of each scene is the one that ranks; replays are timed, but never move it.

50 scenes × 20. Your first clear of each scene is what counts.

Sign in with a free zapjam account and your first clear of each scene goes on the all-time board, scene by scene and across all fifty, with your own rank and the players either side of you. Then challenge a friend to beat it. Playing never needs an account.

The server hands out a one-use token before each hunt, works your time out itself from the search and the penalties, and refuses a time the clock could not have allowed.

Questions about Hidden Flamingo

Is Hidden Flamingo free to play?
Yes. Hidden Flamingo is free in your browser, on a computer or a phone: no download, nothing to install, no ads, and no account needed to play.
How do you play Hidden Flamingo?
Each of its fifty busy scenes hides a single flamingo. Press the button to start the clock, zoom and pan to search, and click or tap the flamingo the moment you spot it.
Is Hidden Flamingo like Where's Waldo?
In spirit, yes: it is a seek-and-find where you search a busy picture for one figure. The difference is that each of its fifty scenes hides a single flamingo, and a clock runs from the moment you press the button until you find it, so your first find of each scene can go on the board.
Why does only my first clear of a scene count?
A scene can only be searched blind once, so your first clear of each scene is the one that ranks. Replay any scene as often as you like: the replay is timed and remembered, and it never moves your rank.
What if I get stuck?
One hint per hunt rings the part of the picture the flamingo is in, for ten seconds more, and the hunt still ranks. A wrong tap adds a second.
Can I play Hidden Flamingo on a phone?
Yes. Tap the flamingo to find it, pinch to zoom and drag to pan once zoomed in. Play in landscape: turning to portrait pauses the hunt.
Is there a Hidden Flamingo leaderboard?
Yes. With a free zapjam account your first clear of each scene goes on the all-time board, scene by scene and across all fifty, and the server works your time out itself from the search and the penalties.
