About the Game

A row of yellow hex fields with a bee at start, and the text A Perfect Summer Day

A Thousand Bees is a beautiful, hand-drawn hidden object game leaning heavily into the honeycore and cottagecore aesthetics.

Follow a perfect summer day from dawn to dusk, spending it with beekeeping, reading break, or time at the pond. Search richly illustrated scenes for bees — hidden in carvings, patterns, jewelry, and buzzing all over. If it looks like a bee and buzzes like a bee – it's a bee! Attentive players can keep their eyes open for secret levels.
