Spot the Difference

Two versions of an image are shown, and players need to find the differences before the timer ends. This works well for product discovery, campaign visuals, themed storytelling and activations where you want people to look closely at key details.

How the Spot the Difference Works

01

Start the Game

The game starts by itself with a 3, 2, 1 countdown, then the two images and the timer appear.

02

Find the Differences

Two similar images are shown and users tap each difference they can spot before the timer runs out. Every correct find is marked on the image.

03

Receive the Result

The round ends when every difference is found or the timer runs out. Finding them all wins, and the score is the time taken plus penalty seconds for wrong taps.

04

Continue the Journey

Users can join a leaderboard, unlock a reward, submit their details or play again, depending on the campaign setup.
