    "name": "Tom",
    "hobbies": [
        {
            "hobby": "go for a walk"
        },
        {

Array Field Index This reference will give you more clarity about the Array fields index process.

To enable the full text search in an array you need to specify the path foe the search array fields in your case the path is hobbies.hobby.

As you want to enable the search for game & games you need to specify the stem analyzer[snowball] to achieve the language search.

You need to specify path to it

POST indexName/_search
{
  "query": {"terms": {
    "hobbies.hobby": [
      "walk",
      "games"
    ]
  }}
}
