Need Tips and guidance for designing a Hidden Object Type Game for kids and tweens.

Can anybody help? #gamedev

#gamedev? Is this a tweet?

Anyway, you just have to make the objects fun or silly things to find for young kids. You can make them do something absurd when found also. It will almost all come down to your art assets and animations to reward them for finding the objects, and the jokes you come up with that those assets will need to embody.

I suggest doing a ton of research on successful kids games. Pajama Sam comes to mind, as well as pretty much everything that company made.

ok. Point noted, thanks

Actually I am thinking about building on levels on the idea 'What kids generally want to become when they grow'

I mean if its a doctor, the player will have to 1st find all the medical related equipments camouflaged in the level and then the in-game character dresses up and animates like a doctor at the end of the level.

Interesting... well, that probably won't work for tweens, but it could be fun for really young kids. The 3-6 year old demographic maybe.
