Two pictures that look alike and are not — five changes to find against the clock.
About Spot the Difference
Two illustrated scenes sit side by side — a garden, a beach, a kitchen, a living room, a street — and exactly five objects in the second differ from the first. An item may have vanished, changed colour, moved a little, turned to face the other way or grown slightly. Finding them is an exercise in orderly looking: the eye that sweeps at random finds three quickly and the last two slowly, while the eye that compares the pictures region by region finds all five. The clock is generous at first and tightens as the levels rise, wrong taps cost time, and three hints per level are held in reserve for a difference that will not show itself.
How to Play
Tap a difference on either picture to mark it. Each level hides five differences; a wrong tap costs five seconds. Three hints are available per level. Unused hints and spare time add to your score, and the clock shortens as levels rise.
💡 Tips & Strategy
Compare by region, not by instinct. Divide each picture into quarters and work through them in the same order every time, looking back and forth between the matching quarters of both scenes. Random glancing finds the obvious changes quickly and the last two very slowly; a methodical sweep finds all five at an even pace.
Know the five kinds of change and look for each one deliberately. An object may be missing, recoloured, shifted, flipped to face the other way, or slightly resized. Colour changes leap out first; missing objects are found by counting — flowers, windows, cups — rather than by looking; flips are caught by checking the direction of anything lopsided, such as a watering can or a bird; and resizing is best judged against a neighbouring object that has not changed.
Do not tap on speculation. Each wrong tap costs five seconds, so a few careless guesses can cost more time than a patient look would have. Tap only when you can name what has changed.
Use the hints by the arithmetic. An unused hint is worth 25 points at the end of the level, and every second left on the clock is worth five — so a hint is worth the same as five seconds. If you have been searching for more than about five seconds with nothing to show, the hint has already paid for itself.
