Hidden! Found?
is a creative memo game full of fitting associations. This compact memo game transforms every-day objects into a face in no time at all – or, the other way around, challenges you to discover the sometimes well-hidden elements in the faces. Hidden! Found? is the smart successor of the MeterMorphosen memo classic What is this?, where every-day things are transformed into animals. The new game is about finding matching pairs in which an object either turns into a face or can be found in a face. Spaghetti turns into an impressive head of hair, a pancake takes the shape of a face, a key appears as a pair of glasses and a belly button suddenly becomes a mouth.
MeterMorphosen is a collective based in Frankfurt comprising a publisher, an architect, a carpenter and an Italian teacher who between them have conceived the multiple ‘Histroy by the meter’. The basic priciple is simple - 2,000 years is compressed into 2,000 millimeters along the lengths of a wooden folding ruler.
This game is full of phantasy, a nice and practical incitement for rainy afternoons and own handicraft works.
The 48 very sturdy memo cards are stored in a small drawer with a larch wood design; a lady bug, made from foam rubber, serves as the drawer knob. Compact, nice to look at and extremely practical. The special aspect, however, is Antje Damm´s unusual view of everyday objects.
Antje Damm has written several philosophical children’s books (i.e. Frag mich!, Nichts und wieder nichts) and has earned various prizes for them. In the book of the same title as the game, published by the Gerstenberg, the motives additionally feature rhymes created by Susanne Koppe.
