GAME TYPES

PhotoDetect

Two photos. Hidden differences. Find them before time runs out — classic detective work.

PhotoInspect

One photo. Something's not right. Find what's been added, moved, or removed from the scene.

PhotoScavenge

One photo, a list of hidden items. Hunt them down and check them off before the clock runs out.

UnderCover

Edit your own photo or jump into a pre-made scene with your selfie. Your opponents try to find your changes.

PLAYER MODES

SOLO

Play on your own. Race the clock, sharpen your eye, and climb the leaderboard.

FREE FOR ALL

Every player for themselves. Choose Chase (shared evidence) or Race (find your own set first).

TEAMS

Split into up to 8 teams. Combined team score decides the winner. Great for larger groups and family rivalries.

CO-OP

Work together as one team. Everyone shares the same evidence — collaborate to find every difference before time runs out.

TOURNAMENT

Bracket-style elimination. Players face off head-to-head across rounds until one detective is crowned champion.

DIFFICULTY

5 tiers from Cadet (225s) to Chief (75s). Higher ranks mean less time. 3 wrong guesses suspends you.
