Finding America: The Heartland by Developer Boomzap Inc

Welcome to America's Heartland! From the Missouri Riverboat to the humble farmhouses of Kansas. From Kentucky stables to Ohio's national parks. A Detroit factory to a Montana ranch to the Butcher shop. With each chapter, after finding the key, you'll unlock tons of fascinating trivia. With a variety of mini-games mixed in for good measure. Make sure to find the Key and the Star at the beginning of each search to unlock the fun facts and unlimited play. There are 30 Hidden Object scenes. Also 54 Mini-Games with 54 Chapters for your entertaining pleasure. With clever different ways to find the hidden objects. It might be by name, silhouette, missing vowels, or having the name scrambled. A few morphing objects thrown in to make it interesting. There is lots to do in this game, keeping you busy for quite a while. The music has kind of a country twang to it and it's fitting. Don't worry if you can't find an object, there are Hints and Superhints to help you! Also you can skip the mini-games if you want. But, there is an achievement for completing a stage without using any hints.

Final Thoughts:
Super fun hidden object game with a few mini-games added in. Lots to find and the graphics are beautiful. No story to worry about. The mini-games are skippable but you will miss out on an achievement if you don't complete a chapter before doing so. Price is well worth it for all the entertainment you get, so pick it up and start enjoying how much fun learning can be!

Like the other games in this series, there are different ways to find the hidden objects: by name, by missing vowel, by silhouette or by scrambled up name. The HO's are well hidden, as are the separate star and key found on each level. The graphics are bright and detailed and the music is soothing. One new thing I like is there are morphing objects! The mini games are varied and fun, plus you can skip them if you want. There are a LOT of Chapters/levels and you can unlock the "infinite play" for each scene too. In my opinion, this game is worth every penny. I am enjoying it very much!

It's looks real good in 1080.
I would have liked 1440 or higher more.

I don't mind cleverly concealed objects, if I know what I'm looking for.
When the name of the object you're looking for is in the form of an anagram or the name has several key letters left out, that's just male bovine excrement!
When the silhouette is just a rectangular shape and you have to blindly click on anything similar.
When you have jigsaw puzzles mini-games in a hidden object game.

I should have paid more attention to the images on the store page.

EDIT Sep 10, '22
I finished the game. All levels completed, all stars unlocked, all mini-games done, all fun facts found but that isn't enough to get 100% complete.

One achievement, A-maize-ing, lacks 4 of the required 10 ears of corn that need to be found to get it.

The devs response (on discord) was (paraphrased) ya, you should have got it but you'll need to play more levels until you do.
