Check off list for seek and find

Alright. So I think I need some suggestions on how to handle creating a feature if possible.

So one of the things I typically work on is seek and find graphics, and a feature we’ve been asked for is to have the “findables” be checked off as you find them. I know this would be very easily doable if you had to find objects in a linear order, but the demo we have created allows the user to find them in any order possible.

So the question I pose is; do we have to force users to find things in a linear order, or is there a way to have things ticked off the list as the users find things?

I have some limited coding knowledge, but not much. I’ll also be tinkering more after I post this, so if I figure it out, I’ll reply here.
