How to play Find the Difference
- The title tells you how many differences there are.
- Scan the two scenes row by row rather than jumping around.
- Tap a cell that differs on either scene. Found ones stay marked.
- Wrong taps count against you, so be sure before you tap.
How it gets harder
The first level hides 5 differences. Each step up adds more, to a maximum of 20 on a larger board.
Tips
- Work in strips. Compare one row on the left with the same row on the right, then move down.
- Do not tap to test a hunch. Tapping at random is exactly what the penalty is there for.
Playing Find the Difference as a family
Spot the difference is the classic game to play side by side. One person can take the left half of the board and the other the right, then swap.
Find the Difference is also one of the thirteen games in the Brainpilates daily mix. On days it comes up, everyone plays the same board, and you can send your result to someone as a challenge to beat.
