The two pictures should be the same. But look again: there's a bear hiding in the bush, and a dog has snuck into the tent. You've found all but one, and it's hiding well. Then you spot it just in time and tap it. That part never gets old. There are no rules to learn. You just look back and forth between two pictures, so it's easy to fit in a round while you're waiting in line or taking a break. You start out half paying attention, and a minute later you're leaning in close to the screen. Stuck? Use the magnifier for a hint, or the clock to add a few extra seconds. There's no account and no login, so you can jump straight in. And see if you can get your name on this month's leaderboard. New pictures are on the way.
