Find My Frogs is a family-friendly “hidden object”-style Puzzle Game released in 2025 on PC and then in 2026 brought to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This game has you searching for 350 hidden frogs (and numerous other items) hidden in a quaint small-size locale at the foot of a tree.

This game’s presentation is absolutely wonderful. This game uses colorful, cartoony 2D visuals with a storybook-style aesthetic that’s absolutely adorable. While this game mostly does without animations, there are a few small animations here and there that keep things from seeming static and lifeless. However, the really nice touch is that the frogs and other things you find don’t remain static either, with each one responding to your interaction in some way in addition to being colored-in, even if in most cases this response is just changing position to another still pose.

The wonderful presentation isn’t just down to the lovely visuals, either. This game has some really excellent atmospheric sound design that has each area you zoom into sounding slightly different, whether it’s the shush of flowing water or the gentle croaking of… well, frogs. And this is backed by a soothing, relaxing soundtrack that changes dynamically based on the location you’re looking at. Between the music and sound effects, I don’t speak in hyperbole at all when I say this is a game I left running in the background while I enjoyed a nice snooze.

The gameplay itself is mostly quite good, though it doesn’t do anything to revolutionize the genre. Frogs that you find are transparent until you click on them using the in-game cursor or the touchscreen in handheld mode. And if you get stuck, there’s a help button that’s on a timer so you can get assistance but can’t rely on it too heavily.

There’s one things going on here that I both like and dislike, and that is that many of the frogs you’re looking for are partly hidden, to the point where you have to look for what appears to be a butt or a pair of bumps in the water that are likely a mostly-submerged frog, or a pair of legs connecting to a body you can’t see behind an object. While this can make for a bit more of a challenge in your search, I can see how it could frustrate players who just want to rely on simple pattern recognition to find the game’s hidden frogs.

Another issue here is one I’m a bit less forgiving about, and that is the non-frog stuff you need to find. There’s an entire page full of gnomes, mice, picture frames, potted clover plants, and various other miscellanea that you’ll be looking for in addition to the frogs, and many of these things are inscrutable, and I believe that the entire array of various objects are too extensive for players to properly memorize.

What’s more, while you’re shown how many of each different kind of object there are to be found in the main location and each sub-location (little rooms within the tree), “each different kind of object” is divided into little frogs, big frogs, gnomes… and everything else. And believe me, once you have it narrowed down to the “and everything else”, it’s frustrating not even knowing what you’re looking for.

Despite these game design issues, it’s hard not to like Find My Frogs. The gameplay is mostly well-crafted, and the presentation is truly wonderful. You’ll likely complete this game within a few hours, but for its low $4 price tag I would argue that’s more than worth the expense. And while this game doesn’t do anything truly groundbreaking, I think anyone looking for a Hidden Object-style Puzzle game will treasure their time with this game, brief as it may be.

tl;dr – Find My Frogs is a family-friendly Hidden Object-style Puzzle Game where players try to find 350 hidden frogs and various other hidden objects in a quaint storybook scene. I have some issues with the way this game handles the “various other hidden objects”, but what complaints I have are largely silenced by this game’s truly wonderful presentation, immersive sound design, and relaxing soundtrack. You’ll complete this game in a few hours, but for only $4, I think this game is absolutely worth picking up.
