How to play Spot the Difference

  1. Two versions of the same hand-drawn scene sit one above the other.
  2. Tap a difference on either picture. A ring marks it on both.
  3. Every find adds time to the clock; a wrong tap costs three seconds.
  4. Clear every difference to reach the next level. The run ends when the clock hits zero.

Tips for a higher score

  • Sweep the picture in strips instead of darting around: missed details hide at the edges.
  • Check colours first, then count things (birds, windows, fruit), then look for flipped or nudged objects.
  • Quick finds build a streak multiplier, and a level without a miss earns a perfect bonus.
  • The hint lights up near one difference. Save it for the last stubborn one.

Yes. It's a free browser game with no download. Sign in to save your best score to the weekly leaderboard.
Do the pictures repeat?
Rarely. Every level builds a fresh scene, from a savanna sunset and a coral reef to a Nairobi night market and a space station, with new differences that get subtler as you climb.
How is my score verified?
Like every MetaDuels arcade game, your run is replayed on the server from your taps, so the leaderboard only shows scores that were really played.
