About the Alice in Wonderland Spot the Difference Game
The classic puzzle-page favourite, digitised. Two picture boards sit side by side, identical at a glance — but one tile in the second board has been swapped. Compare carefully and tap the tile that changed before time runs out.
Lewis Carroll's 1865 Alice in Wonderland is firmly public domain — we can use the whole curious cast. White rabbits, mad tea parties, caterpillars, keys and cakes that say "eat me".
How to Play
- Press Start. Two boards appear, looking identical.
- Compare them tile by tile — one has been swapped for something different.
- Tap the changed tile, on either board, before the timer runs out.
- Each round adds more tiles and less time. Three misses ends the run.
Why Play Spot the Difference?
- Trains comparative visual attention and detail-spotting
- A calmer pace than reaction games, but still a real challenge as boards grow
- The same skill used in "spot the difference" puzzle books, now with a timer and a score
