About the School Days 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.
New pencil cases in September, the squeak of chalk, the smell of poster paint — school days nostalgia hits everyone, whether you left last year or fifty years ago. A lovely deck for classrooms, grandparents and everyone between.
