How Seekers Notes is still going strong after 9 years

Seekers Notes, Mytona’s hugely popular hidden object game for Android, iOS, Amazon, and Microsoft devices turns nine on July 29th, celebrating its 9th anniversary. The game has grown steadily over the last decade, garnering over 43 million downloads across 195 different countries and solidifying its place in the app store’s featured section and top lists. If you’re looking for the definition of a global hit, this is it!

Search for hidden objects and mysteries amidst the cursed city of Darkwood

As of spring 2024 (or Q2, if you’re the person who wears a tie to work), Seekers Notes is reportedly the second most popular casual hidden object game in the world. The secret to its success is that it has found an audience of players who value unique visuals, rich lore, and mystical vibes.

It boasts a diverse cast of characters, too, along with an iconic late-Victorian setting that brings to mind some of the greatest detective stories. Seekers Notes has also grown, giving players plenty of reason to return. Currently, there are 132 locations and 15,000 quests to complete.

These involve conducting investigations, solving puzzles, and uncovering the secrets of Darkwood. But that stuff is just one part of the reason Seekers Notes is still going strong. Its social features are another.

Seekers Notes’ success has been greatly due to its player involvement culture

Over the last nine years, Seekers Notes has become a social platform as well as a game, giving players across the world a place to come together and share their passion for finding hidden objects. Mytona strengthened this feature of Seekers Notes in 2020 by bringing guilds. Joining a guild lets players communicate with each other, and help others.

All of which has gone down a storm. More than 94,000 guilds have been set up so far, helping to cement the status of Seekers Notes as an online destination. Of course, social media plays a role as well. You may discover entertaining content, informative posts, and an unending stream of competitions on the game’s numerous social media sites to keep everybody engaged and on their toes.

The Mytona crew is active on social media as well, and they occasionally implement the advice and ideas they get from other players in the game. For instance, when players gave their thoughts on their ideal avatar, Mytona turned this avatar into a competition prize in the Hero’s Spirit event.

And when the team ran a food contest, the best dishes became energy boosters in the game. The winning entry in the Pet Cosplay Contest, meanwhile, became a magical creature in the game’s main Love Story event, and the best pet picture was featured in the Colorful Adventure event.

Seekers Notes has brought its community closer by turning guildmates into real-world friends

Seekers Notes is an integral part of its fans’ lives, bringing them community, fun, and a way to unwind. One player describes how Seekers Lives gave her a much-needed distraction while she was being treated for breast cancer. Just as importantly, the support she received from her fellow players gave her strength and helped her to rally.

Another player felt compelled to thank her guildmates for their support and understanding when her duties as a new great-grandmother called her away from the game. Some players have even begun socializing with their in-game friends in the real world. 

Guildmates in Seekers Lives are more than just a way to win competitions and earn loot. They’re members of a community that can be genuinely important to players. The development team in turn is heavily inspired to create a friendly and encouraging environment on the platform.

Seekers Notes has come a long way in nine years, and it has never stood still during that time. The team continually analyzes trends and carries out A/B testing to evaluate how players are responding to the game’s features, using the results of these investigations to fine-tune in-game events and mechanics. 

Head over to Darkwood now as the land prepares itself for celebrations

In April 2023, Mytona launched the Darkwood Stories event, which saw players collecting story cards on life in the city. This event’s success can be attributed to the data-driven equilibrium it achieved between innovation and familiarity. As a result of the event, the number of explored locations and completed events rose significantly, driving revenue growth of 11%.

Players can expect to find new quests, gifts, and rewards in the celebratory update. Meanwhile, the Anomalous Alliance event will challenge players to explore locations where the view is corrupted by anomalies. To mark the occasion, Seekers Notes has joined forces with YouTube on a special giveaway. Anybody who completes 10 quests will get a free two-month trial subscription to YouTube Premium.

While Seekers Notes has run smoothly for the first nine years, Mytona has no intention of resting on its laurels. Right now would be a great time to establish yourself in Darkwood because there are a tonne of events and upgrades planned, including a special celebration update for the 9th anniversary of Seekers Notes.

You can download Seekers Notes on the App Store, the Google Play Store, the Microsoft Store, the Amazon Appstore, and the Galaxy Store. Additionally, if you are interested, you can follow the game on Facebook, YouTube, and the official Seekers Notes website.
