What Makes Where's the Meerkat Stand Out
Move over Where's Waldo, the meerkats are in town!
A family of meerkats are making a round-the-world trip, making mischief wherever they go. They'll be visiting some of the world's most famous and popular places: your task is to spot them in the crowd.
This ultimate search app challenges you to find a family of 10 meerkats among each colorful and vibrant scene in their adventures. Follow the meerkats across 24 exciting levels, as they wend their way from the bustling streets of New York in the present day as well as back in time to New York in 1924 for some swing dancing, to the carnival in Rio, Great Barrier Reef, Moscow, and more. Travel space and time searching for the elusively hidden meerkats having fun and partying across the globe.
Take your search skills to the extreme – once you've found all ten meerkats, you'll be given a checklist of five everyday 'star find' hidden items to spot.
Based on the best-selling 'Where's the Meerkat?' series, by Michael O'Mara Books: https://www.mombooks.com/book/wheres-the-meerkat/?imprint=1

Community Insight:
We love this game , but Im on a fixed income Im sick of tired f you guys making us pay for something that is fun give us something that is free Jesus.
This game is sooo Super Fun!!! Looking for the 10 Meercats in each place in each place in whatever country you pick is just brainy,we will give this game an absolute 5 Star review.
Everything from the adorable meerkats to the cool global scenery makes this a fun way to exercise the brain. The bonus sleuthing activity is a great perk.
Fun, visually appealing, and free. What more could you ask for.
This is a fun, mildly difficult find hidden objects…. We recommend you download the app and start having fun.
This is an entertaining game. You pay to get additional pages to search, but once you finish those, there are no more. This is disappointing. The game is not ongoing. We enjoyed what we did play, but definitely wished there was more.
This game is all sorts of fun! We really wanted to keep playing after we completed the first 3 free levels, but they want $1.99 per level, and there are 21 more levels. We really dont mind paying for a game, but these levels go quickly. We finished the first 3 in less than 20 minutes. Paying for the succeeding levels would mean $1.99 for about 6 minutes of fun.
This game was so much fun. Why do we have to pay beyond the third level? Thats just crazy. If you dont mind paying $1.99 for each new level, have fun. We just cant.
On some games there is no play button to get to the the extra five items. Sometimes there is a play button but the list of the extra items to find does not appear. It only appears when you have successfully found the 10 Meerkats. Our memory is not that good to remember the items. Etime.
We really like this game However after purchasing this game all of our puzzles are not working . We would having giving it 5 stars.
This game is quite fun, but it is also very misleading. We downloaded this app assuming that it was free. We noticed only 3 of the locations (levels) were unlocked. Id assumed that meant finishing these levels would unlock more. No, no, no, that is incorrect. The locations cost $1.99. We wasted a good portion of our time waiting for the game to get harder. Rude.
It was fun but after the third level you have pay really ruins the fun.
We have been having a great time with this game, those MEERCATS are in very clever places.
We were looking for something similar to where's Waldo and found this game so we gave it a try. Terrible mistake. The gameplay is great and we had fun when it lasted. We beat the free levels in 3 minutes. The fact that you have to pay two dollars to play the rest of the levels is just dumb. If you're going to make people pay for gameplay make the game cost money, not waste someone's time and then make them pay for the rest of the game. When a game is free it usually has in app purchases which provide bonuses to make gameplay different, but hey don't make you pay for gameplay altogether. We're not hating the game, we kinda like it, but we hate that we have to now pay for the game when it said it was free. Extremely dissatisfied. 1/5 stars.
Just found this game addicted to it.
Fun game, takes some hunting to find them.
Awesome game to concentrate and decompress.
This was a lot of fun. Which is even more we will go back and play it again and again. Love it.
This game is such a mystery! Perfect for when you need a good challenge.
Game is fun. Although we appreciate the challenge, we would love to have a hint feature. Perhaps 1 hint given after so many found, or maybe a hint if you've gotten to the 9th one found.
Would like a tip option for finding the criders.
We love the game, except there's only 3 free levels. You have to pay 1.99 per every other level you want to play. We finished all three in a span of 10 minutes, so now we have to delete the app because we don't want to pay $20 for the rest of the levels.
