Scene contents are hidden only until searched
Unpacking

Each hidden-object scene and puzzle has one fixed solution
Unpacking
Understanding acceptable placement rules and story logic guides packing decisions
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
