Spot the Differences. Fun Brain-Training Quiz (11–20)
A really difficult spot-the-difference that only 1% get completely right
When the drawings become intricate and complex, even spot-the-difference puzzles that seem simple at first glance get significantly harder.
While keeping an eye on the whole picture, quickly checking the fine details in order is probably the fastest route to the correct answers.
Practice also plays a role, so if you solve similar problems repeatedly, you’ll get the hang of it.
Spot the differences for kids
Even in spot-the-difference pictures where adults can easily notice the mistakes, children might have a hard time finding them.
For children, it may be helpful to go through the items in the picture one by one together, asking questions like, “Is this the same?” It can be excellent brain training for them.
Spot the differences with Anpanman
This is a cute spot-the-difference game using Anpanman mascots that are hugely popular with children.
If you start with easy ones and gradually make them harder, kids will get more and more absorbed and have a great time! You can even create your own spot-the-difference by arranging the mascots yourselves and taking photos!
Observation and visual ability test that only geniuses can see
Among spot-the-difference puzzles, the pattern where you have to find the one item that differs from many similar ones is quite challenging, isn’t it? If you stare at it, everything starts to look like a single pattern, and they all feel the same.
A useful tip is to predict where a mistake is likely to be and then look specifically for that kind of mistake.
Upside-Down Spot the Difference
Among spot-the-difference puzzles, the hardest are the ones that are upside down.
If they’re characters you know, it’s easier to find the mistakes, but when they’re inverted, they become harder to read and can even look like unfamiliar kanji—that’s what makes them tricky.
A tip for finding them quickly is to view them not as kanji, but as shapes.
Find the different shape!
Among quizzes where you pick the one picture that’s different from several, it gets much harder when the items are rotated, and you can’t find the odd one out as easily.
I feel like there was something like this on an IQ test I took as a child.
If you don’t rely solely on intuition and instead check various aspects systematically, you might be able to find it more quickly.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a variety of spot-the-difference quizzes.
What did you think? Spot-the-difference is great for casual family fun and for brain training for seniors! Be sure to try different types.
It’s also perfect for killing time while you wait!
