Last Updated: August 2026 | 46 million visits in one year, and one five-level stretch that stops most people.
Spot the Differences puts two nearly matching pictures side by side and asks what changed. You tap the spots you find, and the level ends once you have them all. There is no timer chasing you and nothing to lose.
It opened in August 2025 and has taken more than 46 million visits in under a year. This page has the level ladder, the exact point where most players stop, and what the game sells.

How to Play Spot the Differences
Nothing here needs learning. The whole game is looking carefully, and the only tool you get is a zoom.
- Join and start at level 1. Nothing needs setting up and nothing is locked at the beginning.
- Look at the two pictures side by side. They are nearly the same, and a handful of things are not.
- Tap a spot you think has changed. A ring appears when you are right.
- Use the zoom panel on small details. It is on the level screen and costs nothing.
- Finish the level to open the next one. Levels unlock as you play, one after another.
- Come back for the new ones. The game says fresh levels arrive every day.
There is no currency, no score and no leaderboard. The level number is the only thing keeping track of you.
Spot the Differences Gameplay: The Level Ladder
Eight badges mark how far people get, and together they draw a very clear picture.

Look at the middle of that list. Around 31 in every 100 players reach level 10, and only about 10 reach level 15.
Two thirds of the people still going stop inside those five levels. No other step in the whole game comes close to that.
After the wall it calms down again. The drop from level 15 to level 20 loses only a fifth of the survivors, so getting past 15 is the hard part.
One thing worth saying about these numbers. The first five badges were made four days after the game opened, so they cover almost everyone who has ever played.
What the Shop Sells, and What It Gives Away
Two items, and their names tell you more than their prices do.
One unlocks every level at once. That only sells if levels normally open by playing, and the game page confirms they do.
The second makes the zoom permanent. Again, permanent only means something if there is already a zoom, and there is one on the level screen from the start.
Neither adds anything new. Both are shortcuts around something the game already lets you do slowly.
Nearly a Million Saves and Hardly Any Votes
Almost 980,000 players have saved this game to come back to, which works out at one every 47 visits.
Votes are a different story. Only 14,253 people have voted at all, so there are about 69 saves for every single vote.
Before reading anything into that, here are two other puzzle games of almost exactly the same size.

Three games within a whisker of each other on visits, and a 46 times spread on saves. So that number says something about how people use a game, and nothing at all about whether it is good.
Nine Games, and Five of Them Are This One
The studio behind this has nine games out. Five of them are versions of this same idea with a different theme bolted on.
This one is far and away the biggest. The next largest has about 1.2 million visits, which is roughly a fortieth of what this has.
A couple of them have a number 2 in the name, so the studio numbers its follow-ups. The originals are no longer on the public list.
Tips for New Spot the Differences Players
- Use the zoom on every level. It sits on the level screen and costs nothing, and small details are where most differences hide.
- Search in strips. Sweep left to right in bands instead of letting your eye wander, and you will not cover the same ground twice.
- Watch for color changes. Plenty of differences are the same object in a slightly different shade rather than a missing one.
- Expect levels 10 to 15 to be hard. That stretch stops more players than the rest of the game, so it is not just you.
- Take a break instead of grinding. An average visit is under nine minutes, so no level is meant to hold you all evening.
- Do not go looking for codes. There are none, and there is nowhere in the game to type one.

About Spot the Differences
Spot the Differences comes from a verified studio with more than 800,000 members, and this is easily its biggest game.
Its busiest moment so far was 3 January 2026, when 4,075 people were playing at once. That was around the time three new level badges appeared.
The pictures are hand drawn cartoons rather than screenshots of anything, which suits a game that is really just two images and your eyes.
It is a calm game, and the numbers back that up. An average visit is about eight and a half minutes, which is about one puzzle and a bit.
