How to play Spot the Difference

  1. Two pictures are shown side by side. They look the same, but a few things have changed.
  2. Tap each difference on the right-hand picture. A green circle marks what you found.
  3. A difference can be a new color, a missing shape, a new size, a shape that moved or a shape that changed.
  4. Find every difference in all 3 scenes. Wrong taps cost points.

Tips

  • Compare one small area at a time rather than the whole picture.
  • Count the shapes of each color in both pictures: a missing one shows up quickly.
  • Look at sizes: a shape that grew or shrank is easy to overlook.
  • Avoid tapping at random: wrong taps lower your points.
  • Hint makes a circle glow around one of the differences left to find. The gold badge is for a Hard set found with no wrong tap and no hint.

About Spot the Difference
