The Game:
I played through a few hidden object scenes and found it reasonably easy to complete each scene without having to use a hint, tohugh I did use them primarily to speed up my progress so that I could poost some images and my initial impression of the game. It's quite an old HOG, but has all the usdual elements you expect from a hidden object game, lots of different scenes to explore and mini games scattered amongst the hidden object scenes. As I've said many times, I don't particcularily enjoy playing HOG's, but this one I was happy to play and will probably keep dipping into the game over the coming weeks.

If you added Idle Champions to your Epic game library from a few weeks ago and either intend or are playing the game; I've been posting chest codes over in the game discussion forum's for the past week HERE. Apart from the first list (49 codes), most of which will have expired, (but there are still some that are active but will expire by the end of today), plus another 29 codes that should still be active (includes a couple of Gold chests). I will be continuing to post more codes over the coming weeks; at least until I stop playing the game. The chests are definitely worth getting if you are playing the game, or intend too.

Most of the codes give you an electrum chest, which usually has five items one of which is specific to one hero, as well as a piece of equipment that will increase your hit points and/or health and sometimes works for all in your party; plus, consumables that boost various attributes of your champions.

Other Free Games:
The latest game from Epic Games is now live and is called NBA 2K21 (National Basketball Association), which you'll find HERE.

Please see Delenns threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies HERE and HERE respectively. It’s worth adding these to your favorites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out. Once added to your account, it’s yours to keep. Delenn has recently posted details of more Steam games that are temporarily free. One may be until it leaves early access??? - i.e. Tower Ball - Incremental Tower Defense plus a reflex game called Keyboard Killers are still free.

You'll find hundreds of freeware games of all arcade and indie genres on Itch.io and Caimans Games as well as other sources. Please do check out the game discussion forums for older posts HERE (the sticky section is useful). Many of the earlier posts may be out of date with respect to the links I and others have provided to the free games; however, you only need to know the name of the game to find most of them via other sources. Many of those games from 2008 to around 2017 were posted as part of a project to supplement the lack of weekday games when the game giveaway went to weekend only games around Easter 2008 (mainly instigated due to the financial crisis of 2008) until November 2018 when Falcoware stepped into the weekday slot; however, from around 2015 onwards we did start to get the occasional Steam key for various games offered as limited giveaways, with a restriction on the number of keys available (anywhere from 25 to 2000+). These included over 60 decent AAA games and indie arcade games ; for example some of the better AAA games included , lucky Warhammer: Vermintide 1 & 2 plus DLC for version 2; Dreadlands, Mount & Blade: Warband, Immortal Unchained and Conan Exiles.

Indie Gala have added more free games since last week; if you haven't checked for a while there are some decent games worth downloading. You can find the latest freebies HERE and the Indie Gala showcase list, which includes all the freebies still current; (many of which have been included for a couple of years now) HERE. Most of the better games are removed after a few weeks, so you should check regularily.

It’s worth adding these links to your favourites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out. Once added to your account, they are yours to keep. :)
