A little guide to looking closer.
- Choose your explorer name, then choose a released date and its Easy, Medium, or Hard level. Open the picture and find the one detail that does not belong in the scene.
- Pinch or use the zoom buttons to inspect the 4K artwork. Drag to move around, then tap or click a detail to mark it. Fit shows the whole picture again. Confirm your marked answer separately.
- Use arrow keys to move a selection. Hold Shift for smaller steps. Enter marks the center of your view or submits your selection.
- A wrong answer adds the displayed time penalty. The clock carries on until your first correct answer. Reloading, changing tabs and leaving the app do not pause a daily run.
- On a phone, the timer, Cues button and answer controls stay at the bottom. Open Cues to reveal a hint. With a mouse, you can also enable hover cues. Cues appear once for their configured duration; the same cue cannot be restarted. Cues put your result on the assisted leaderboard.
- Share your result without spoiling the picture. A new friend's first qualifying daily solve can earn one clue for the next UTC day when referrals are enabled. One reward per inviter per day; no credit for merely clicking or sharing.
Three levels for each date
Each date can have Easy, Medium, and Hard scenes. Each level becomes available only after its own human review and its midnight UTC release. The “Inspired by” line names the artist or movement that informed the original locally made artwork; it does not imply a collaboration. If today's scene is not ready, the latest released scene appears with its real date. If no approved original is available, a labeled demo offers unranked practice.
Your puzzle calendar
Open the calendar to see Unplayed, In progress, and Solved status for each level on each date. The calendar shows your progress without image previews or puzzle links. Viewing it does not start or pause a run. Progress belongs to your device profile; a matching username on another device does not recover that history.
Time and fair play
Use Play a date beside the puzzle or from the calendar to choose a released scene and level. Switching dates or levels leaves an unfinished timer running. After solving, choose Try again to start a new numbered play and improve your personal best. My scores keeps every completed play. First try rankings preserve each player’s original result; Best time ranks their fastest completed play, with assisted and unassisted results kept separate.
Daily scores use server time from opening the image session to a correct answer, plus wrong-answer penalties. This includes network and image-loading time: the server cannot verify the exact instant a browser displays pixels. Your on-screen clock follows that record. There is no reset or pause action for an active play. Clearing identity data or using another device creates a different guest; guest rankings are casual competition, without prizes or verified identities.
Usernames are public aliases, may be shared by different people, and are not verified accounts. Keep names appropriate and avoid personal information. Assisted and unassisted solves have separate rankings.
Practice and accessibility
The demo has an untimed option with long-lived cues. Zoom, keyboard selection and cue buttons support mouse, touch and keyboard. This is a visual recognition game, so its core challenge still depends on seeing the artwork. Daily play needs an internet connection; the installed app can offer local practice offline.
Install it
Use Feedback / bug report beside the puzzle or on the support page to send a suggestion or report a problem. You can attach one PNG or JPEG screenshot, up to 5 MB. Reports are private and do not pause your timer. Reports sent beside a puzzle include that scene’s date, level, and edition.
On a supported desktop or Android browser, use Install in the browser menu. On iPhone or iPad, open the site in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Availability depends on your browser. Store editions will be listed here after release.
