FoundIt Screenshot

FoundIt is a Entertainment/Casual/Puzzle game from John Swensen, first launched in 7th January 2011.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 17+ ratings on the App Store.

What Makes FoundIt Stand Out

FoundIt is a game of hidden objects. The objects have been jumbled together and it is your job to find them as quickly as possible. The score is based on the size of the object and the amount of time it takes you to find it.

One of the goals of FoundIt is to make the play time significantly longer than other hidden object games. Each puzzle has a list of 50-200 objects to find. Each individual game consists of finding 20 of these items.

Many customers asked for the ability to single tap or double tap an item during gameplay. This is now an option that can be selected through the Settings Menu.

"This makes it an ideal game to drop in for a few minutes at a time in between more productive things like working." — 148apps.com

"FoundIt also features an excellent user interface, allowing you to choose your category and pick your first object with ease." — slidegamer.com

"Offering up a smattering of items such as birds, animals, cartoon characters, clocks, and more, each stage lays out 20 targets to pick out amongst a horde of decoys which continually play tricks on the eyes." — iphonegamerblog.com

This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights

Community Insight:

Its really fun game and we would like to give 5 stars, but minus one star for absence of login, when you find 20th item the game shuts down and throws you out without record your score and time, probably if login were able the game would recorded your data.


We were really looking forward to playing this game, but its just not fun having to use a magnifying glass to see the objects. If you would enlarge the playing screen we will write you another better review.


We spend hours playing this game.


We purchased this but am disappointed with the six or so pictures, most of which are completely dull. Once we used the two we found ok, we were done with the app.


We opened this game, selected the bird puzzle, found one, proceeded to look for the second one and the game froze up. Very disappointed. Was looking forward to letting our grandson play this game. What a waste of money.


We think this is a really great game, lots of fun! We give it 5 stars.


What a great pick up and play game.


A good game and loved the double tap once you find the object. We wish more developers would do this as too often in other games, l have accidentally "found" an item, especially using zoom. ..Not always too fond of the 5 star rating system as you have to rate something 1 star just to post and 5 stars is reserved for the best of the best. In its own category, this is 4 stars, in all categories, only 3. Would love to see a hint button and of course, with any fun game, more level choices.


You are being timed and the game doesn't respond to your touch! Very frustrating.


Our favorite "search and find" app for sure. Plenty of puzzles and tons of items within each puzzle with a variety of difficulties for hours of searching. Very much worth it.


It's not as easy as you think it's going to be and that's part of what makes this game so addicting! Love it.


We can't put this game down. It's so much fun. We like how you can make the screen larger. The cartoon characters are soooooo cute! We also like that you can play it without worrying about time running out.


Anyone who enjoys the "find the object" genre will love this game. Reminiscent of Little Things and Pictureka, this game features beautiful graphics and challenging game play. You won't find all the objects in five minutes…at least, we didn't. Mixing sizes and orientations make this more difficult, and more satisfying. Having themed puzzles also makes this game a lot of fun. We like the ability to magnify the object you're searching for so you get a good look at it, and the ability to zoom in for a more detailed search in each section of the game board. We have experienced no issues with the game, and the touch area for each target is very responsive. It's a great game for all ages, and members of the family from younger kids to seniors will find something in this game. It's an absolute steal for a dollar, and we highly recommend it for anyone who wants a casual game that can be enjoyed for a few minutes, or for a longer session of object hunting. Definitely a keeper.


Nice game of searching for objects. Like Pictureka. We play with our children. We love it.


It is worth 0.99… If you are hidden object game mania, purchasing this app is a good choice. We and our son had fun with it.


Fun to play … But now we press play and the game goes away.


Our game quits just before we finish a game. Please get an update.


We kind like this program except that we couldn't find a help function. We got stuck and had to quit playing entirely.


Every time we press play, it goes back to our home screen. :-(.


We just downloaded this yesterday…and so far, we are NOT impressed. It takes several seconds for our touch to register. And since we're being timed, it is very aggravating! We tried the birds, then the flags…same thing…we find it and touch it, but it isn't registering for several seconds. Very frustrating.


Great game! Fun pictures in the puzzles and lots of different puzzles to choose from, and you can also try to beat your last time. Quick, challenging game that kids or adults can enjoy.


Will makes the time go by fast, really easy to get into and enjoy. Very simple to play.


When you get tired of PvZ and Angry Birds this game is a nice change of pace. We were suprised how challenging it is to find objects when we're in a hurry. Our little niece loves playing it and we swear she's better at it than we are.


A great app for our baby to learn animals, you did a great job dev.


We really enjoy this game, except when we are own to one or to items to find it crashes.


Great fun game to pass time. There is 7 different themes u could play from example birds, fish, cartoons, and country flags. Once you choose one you get around 20 pictures you have to find. They are all scatter around and you have time to see how long it takes you. You could get time bonuses if you find a picture in a certain time. If you can find a picture u could press the number found button on the button right corner to skip to the next picture. We will recommend this app for people who like to look for things and fast. Also to pass time and don't have nothing to do.


Great find game. Sharp graphics. Plenty of themes, perfect time killer. The screen being busy with different items to find makes it more challenging.


For us this almost ranks up there with our other favorite ispy games Timegeeks and Little Things! Our only complaint is that the categories get a little long in the tooth sometimes; finding a list of 30 different birds we are already spent and burnt out after finding the 25th, so finding those last 5 take longer than it should. Otherwise a solid game.


This fun multiple touch eye spy game is fun for the whole family. We especially like how there is such a variety of puzzles that u can choose from. Also we love how it is fun but challenging at the same time. Definitely worth the low price.


Our family and we really enjoyed taking turns playing this. The variety of puzzles and number of items will keep us entertained for a long time. We like that you can now save high scores so you can do the same puzzle more than once and try and best your time.


This game is interesting for a bit but gets boring quite quickly. For us it takes a lot to keep these kinds of games interesting…. Time Geeks is the only game we have seen do it successfully.


Cool game! There are so many things to find that you (or your kids) can play for hours. Definitely worth the price.
