I SPY Spooky Mansion is similarly meant for the youngest of gamers. Clues are presented in a rhyming format, and the series is generally intended for children. Based on that formula came Scholastic's I SPY series of books, though unlike the impromptu game at its source, it challenges players to find specific objects rather than locate things simply based on colour. These probably got their start, however, when an unknown group of bored friends decided to pass the time by challenging each other to spot what they spied with their little eyes.
Seek-and-find video games have become commonplace these days, arriving in every form from the kid-focused Adventure on Lost Island: Hidden Object Game to the dark but educational Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper.
