How to play

Choose Normal (8 rounds) or Easy (6 rounds).
The 3×3 squares fill with similar colors.
Find the one square with a different brightness and tap it.
If you miss, the correct square is shown and you move on to the next round. At the end, you'll see your accuracy.

Tips

The odd square differs only in brightness, not in hue. Look for one that's a little lighter or darker.
Don't turn your screen brightness down too low, and look at the screen straight on.
Rather than comparing squares one by one, try softening your gaze and looking at the whole grid. The odd one often stands out.

Good to know

The color changes randomly every round. Some colors, like blue, make the difference easy to see, while others, like yellow, are harder, so every game is a little different.
