A 'Pixel Hunt' is a common occurrence in graphical Adventure Games, where a hotspot or object that the player has to click on is only a few pixels in size and hidden in the scenery. Since many such games do not tell you what is under the mouse cursor until and unless you actually click on it, this can make for frustratingly lengthy searches if the player never realizes there was an object to begin with, thus making it impossible to solve the puzzle (and therefore progress with the game). Also known as "pixelbitching".
