The following is a list of currently available Hidden Object Locations in the Seekers Notes: Hidden Mystery game.
As of March 2024, there are now 127 Hidden Object Locations available to play. These Locations are interspersed among the game's 4 Puzzles and 3 Crafting Stations on the Darkwood Town Map.
Previously Cafe was the only unlocked location on the Darkwood map. Since the Secret Academy update (Sep 2022) the game starts with the tutorial in a new location called Grand Stage.
Progressing through the game unlocks additional Hidden Object Locations.
List of Locations[]
Listed below are the Hidden Object Locations, the level required to unlock each one and whether an access pass is required to enter and play them. List may be sorted.
Note: A new Hidden Object Location is unlocked every 3 levels. Museum is out of sequence due to the location being introduced during a special event challenge, before the event ended and the challenge rooms (House of Toys and Winter Park) were assigned levels.
Item Locators: Links to spreadsheets below, showing location of all items. A spreadsheet with all locations may be downloaded R Jul-16-22.) Please report changes/updates required to Solver2. Note: on smaller phone screens, top and bottom of scene is cropped, and items moved to a different area.

Access Passes[]
Some locations require Access Passes in addition to energy points in order to play them. The 2015 Christmas Update changed Access Passes so that they can now be potentially won from every single Hidden Object Location at every single Location Rank.
All the Access Passes can be obtained in the following ways: by winning plays of any Hidden Object Location, by combining certain Collections in the game, as part of a daily bonus for Visiting Friends, given as Free Gifts to Friends, or bought in the Store. =)
There are currently 15 different Hidden Object Locations that require Access Passes, in addition to energy points, for each play. Known as Premium Locations, these include the original 3 Hidden Object Locations added when the game was released, and the 10 new Hidden Object Locations added by subsequent updates to the game. This means that currently 14/56 or one fourth of all Hidden Object Locations require Access Passes to play:
