About the Firefighters Odd One Out Game
A rapid visual-scanning challenge. A grid fills with the same picture repeated over and over — 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.
Sirens, ladders and the bravest job on the street — the firefighter deck is a must for every small person who stops to watch the big red engine go by. Match the crew and save the day.
