Two pictures. Small differences. How closely can you look? Picparo is a calm spot-the-difference game for anyone who likes to look closely. Compare two illustrated scenes and find the differences – just like classic picture puzzles, but with large images, synchronized zoom and hints that guide you step by step. How to play • Spot the difference: tap each change directly in the original or in the changed picture. • Synchronized zoom: zoom and pan one picture and the other follows exactly. • Three-step hints: first the broad area, then a closer area, and finally the solution flashes. No coins, no waiting. • No-timer mode by default. If you like a challenge, switch to Focus mode with time, points and stars. • Easy, Medium and Tricky difficulty levels. A closer look every day • The daily puzzle picks a picture from the existing catalog each day. • Catch up on missed days in the daily archive. • Every seven daily puzzles solved on time earn a joker that repairs a missed day in your streak. 56 picture puzzles • 8 picture puzzles come with the game and play offline right away, no purchase needed. • Picparo Complete permanently unlocks all 48 additional puzzles across six worlds with one purchase: Animal Adventures, Enchanted Places, Cozy Workshops, Garden, Coast and Seasons, Paper Worlds and Lights of the Future City. • Downloaded worlds are playable offline too.
