What is the goal of the game?
The Halloween Pumpkin Search game consists of finding 10 semi-transparent pumpkins hidden within each of the 15 spooky scenes. The main objective is to sharpen your sight and scan the entire drawing to click on all hidden items before the 50-second time limit expires, using the on-screen counter to keep track of remaining pumpkins.Recommended age and educational level
This game is recommended for children aged 5 and up (Early Childhood and Elementary School) as well as adults and seniors. By age 5, children have developed the visual processing skills needed to distinguish figures from complex backgrounds and maintain sustained focus. It serves as an excellent tool for students to practice visual discrimination and for older players looking to keep their mind active and train visual search speed.How to play: single-player or multiplayer
