Buddha's Square is the first new picture you unlock after starting a new game of Secret Society: Hidden Mystery. From the Diary:
"For the first time, I was able to restore a magical photo myself - "Buddha's Square". Based on this success, I now know how to restore the rest of the torn photos in Richard's collection."
Modifications in 2018[]
Hidden object items changes (November 2018)[]
Buddha's Square received an unusual makeover with the Thanksgiving Day Update (November 2018.) The background was unchanged, but the hidden object items were changed completely. The items can take different forms. In addition, many other objects appear during some of the plays. For example, sometimes the Buddha is wearing a turban. The turban is not among the list of items to find. There are quite a few extraneous items. The number of extra items which are present for a play increases as the picture level advances from Novice up.
Venice received a similar makeover with the Thanksgiving Day Update. The Thanksgiving Day Update introduced two new pictures, Festive Patio and Dressing Room. Festive Patio plus Venice and Buddha's Square were the first three pictures in the game to include non-permanent extraneous items in the scenes.
Silhouette mode change and Combining Element additions (December 2018)[]
The Christmas Magic Update modified the silhouettes in Silhouette mode to match the shape of the hidden object to be found in the current play.
The Christmas Magic Update also added the Streamer and Tinsel Combining Elements to the Can be found list.
