Istanbul Cats

Istanbul Cats is a hidden-object game about finding cats throughout six storybook neighbourhoods in Istanbul. You search detailed scenes set among the streets beneath the Galata Tower, the arches of the Grand Bazaar and the ferry docks at Karakoy, where cats hide on awnings, behind railings, in baskets and in upstairs windows.

Search the neighbourhoods

Drag to pan around each scene and scroll to zoom. When you find a cat, it meows and settles in with a small gold ring. There are 104 hand-placed, named cats across the six scenes. You can ask for a hint to ring a cat briefly, with no penalty or limit.

There are no timers or losses, so you can take your time or leave the game and return later. Each scene remembers when you finish it, but starts fresh when you open it again. Scenes take about five to twenty minutes, depending on how carefully you look.

Optional objects

Each scene also contains optional bonus objects: a simit, a glass of tea, an evil eye bead, a fish and a mussel. There are 29 objects across five kinds, and each makes a sound when found.
