About the Retro Arcade Odd One Out Game
A rapid visual-scanning challenge. A grid fills with the same picture repeated over and over â except one tile, which is different. Spot it and tap it before the clock runs out. Every round the grid grows and the clock gets tighter.
The glow of a CRT, a pocket full of coins and your three-letter name at the top of the leaderboard. Our retro arcade deck is a love letter to the golden age of video games â ghosts, invaders, joysticks and cherry bonuses included.
