WorldHunt is spot the difference set in real cities, not generic scenes. Every puzzle is a crafted illustration of an actual place. No timers, no chat, no pressure. REAL PLACES, NOT WHIMSICAL SCENES Most spot the difference games use generic art: a market that could be anywhere, a street that isn't a street. WorldHunt is different. Every puzzle is a real, named place rendered as colorful art: a market square in Lisbon, a canal in Amsterdam, a temple in Kyoto. If you can find the difference here, you can also find the place on a map. NOT TEMPLATES, NOT FILTERS Every one of the 8,000 puzzles is made individually for its own city, not a template with a filter stretched over it. And every difference in every puzzle is placed by hand, one by one, never reused across scenes. That is why the differences feel fair to find, not random. HOW IT WORKS Follow a young traveller from city to city. Each country unlocks a set of cities. Each city is ten stops, and each stop is a pair of illustrated scenes with differences to find by tapping and zooming in close. Earn one, two, or three stars per city depending on how many stops you clear. There is no clock counting down and no streak to protect. Play one stop or ten, then close the app. Your progress saves automatically. LEARN SOMETHING ON EVERY STOP Every city comes with ten real facts and three named landmarks. Every stop carries its own curiosities: history, geography, small details about the place you are looking at. It is the only spot the difference game that teaches you anything about where you actually are. BUILD A PASSPORT Stamp your passport as you clear cities. Fill a travel log. Collect landmarks and city badges as you go. With 80 countries, 800 cities, and 8,000 puzzles, there is a long trip ahead. PLAY WITH FRIENDS, NOT STRANGERS Add friends, send requests, and compare progress on Game Center leaderboards, including per-country leaderboards. There is no chat and no messaging of any kind. WorldHunt is rated 4+ and built to be handed to a child without a second thought. NO PRESSURE, EVER No timers. No music forced on you. No seasonal events pushing you to log in today or lose something. Get stuck on a stop, and tickets let you rescue a mistake instead of starting over. Tickets are earned by playing; nothing is required to keep going. PERFECT FOR - Armchair travellers who want to see the world between trips - Parents and grandparents looking for a genuinely calm, ad-supported game for family time - Anyone who wants a puzzle break without a countdown clock - Geography fans who like picking up a real fact about a real city FREE TO PLAY WorldHunt is free with optional ads. A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good. Nothing you need is ever locked behind a paywall. Download WorldHunt and start your passport today. Your first city is waiting.

A grid appears. A few cells hold a big friendly number. Press and drag: a candy-colored box stretches under your finger, counting its cells live. A box around a "6" must cover exactly 6 cells. Cover the whole board and it's boxd. Wrong size? The box wobbles and melts away. No penalty screens, no lives, no game over. Mistakes bounce back softly. That's the whole point. PLAY EVERY DAY • the daily boxd: one fresh puzzle a day, the same board for everyone • the sticker book: every daily pressed into a monthly album, gold for perfect, silver for fast, bronze for done. Miss a day and the slot stays empty forever. That's the thrill • ten packs, 420 levels: from a genuine 4Ɨ4 on-ramp for kids to 12Ɨ12 boards for experts; every pack is open from day one • seasons: halloween, diwali, dĆ­a de muertos, harvest and winter, each open a few weeks a year with shaped boards, its own colors, music and a costume for your companion • festival days: on a season's big day the daily becomes a festival board that presses a limited sticker PLAY TOGETHER • the ring: a worldwide leaderboard, points, streak, stars • boxd bouts: host live races for 2 to 8 boxers, now or at a time you pick, 1 to 5 rounds, with invites and reminders • share cards: turn any win into a sticker worth sending MAKE IT YOURS • a companion: cubby and friends ride along after your first win, react to your play and chat in boxdish • ten themes: pop, neon, sorbet, high-contrast ink, neo-brutal, vaporwave and more • the timer is optional and never shouts • works fully offline; sign-in is optional and only powers leaderboards & bouts No ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: boxd at none against WorldHunt's shown. boxd also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). WorldHunt's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
