5 rounds. Each grid contains one odd character — find it before time runs out!
Rounds get bigger and trickier. Timer starts at 10s.
Spot the Odd is a five-round visual hunt. Each round shows a grid of similar items, and exactly one of them does not belong. Find that single odd one before the timer runs out. The grids grow as you advance: rounds one and two use a 5x5 grid, rounds three and four a 6x6 grid, and the final round a 7x7 grid. The timer stays at 10 seconds for every round, so bigger grids ask you to scan more items in the same time.
There are two flavours of round. Text rounds use lookalike characters such as '5H' against 'SH', 'd' against 'b', ':' against ';', or '6' against '9'. Picture rounds use SVG shapes — circles, houses, stars, hearts, arrows, triangles, flowers, cars, trees, rings — where the intruder differs in a quiet way: a slightly darker colour shade, a shape rotated differently (an arrow pointing sideways, a triangle pointing down), a different number of points or petals (a star with 6 points instead of 5, a flower with 6 petals instead of 7), or a thicker border.
Scoring rewards speed. A correct click earns 100 base points plus a time bonus that grows the faster you click. Click the wrong item and that round ends immediately, revealing the correct answer with an explanation; letting the timer run out does the same. You can replay as often as you like and share your best score over WhatsApp, Telegram, or a copyable link.
Round three puts a 6x6 grid of 35 identical houses on screen, plus one odd house whose door is on the left instead of the right. Scanning row by row is the reliable method: compare each house to the one you just passed. If you click the flipped house two seconds in, you score the 100 base points plus a full time bonus for that speed. If you click a normal house instead, the round ends and the game highlights the odd one, explaining that the door placement gave it away — feedback you can use on the next round.
Difficulty comes almost entirely from grid size. The 5x5 rounds let you find the odd item comfortably within 10 seconds and teach you the visual language. The 6x6 rounds force you to scan 36 items, and the 7x7 final round pushes that to 49 — nearly double the opening workload in the same ten seconds.
The type of difference also evolves. Early rounds lean on an obvious colour change; later rounds lean on orientation and counting, like a star with six points among five-pointed ones or an arrow rotated sideways. Text and picture rounds alternate so you never settle into one scanning habit, and because a base plus a speed bonus make the score, a careful sweep clears a round while a fast one makes it shareable.
A frequent slip is trusting the first glance: a slightly darker shade of the same colour gets written off as a rendering quirk, so players pass right over the odd one. Another is misreading a 'd' for a 'b' and clicking a normal character, thinking it is the mirror image. Orientation confuses people most — a downward triangle among upward ones is invisible until you check every item's direction on purpose. There is also the edge case of a border-thickness difference, where two items match in shape and colour and only the outline gives the odd one away.
Five. The first two use 5x5 grids, rounds three and four use 6x6, and round five uses a 7x7 grid.
Every round starts with 10 seconds, whether the grid holds 25, 36, or 49 items.
The round ends immediately and the game shows the correct odd item with an explanation. Letting the timer run out does the same.
Each correct find is worth 100 base points plus a time bonus — the faster you click, the higher the bonus. Wrong clicks and timeouts earn nothing for that round.
