About What Caught Your Eye?
Lit for a moment, then covered
Each board shows a grid of identical tiles with exactly one that differs in color, shape, or angle. It lights up briefly, covers itself, and waits for you to tap where the different tile was. There's no time limit for the tap; the challenge is how much you caught in that one glance.
Ten boards, shorter and subtler
The flash shrinks from 1 second to 0.2 seconds, the grid grows from 4×4 to 5×5, and from board six the difference becomes subtler. After each tap the board reappears with the answer marked, and taps right next to it count as one tile off. The recap shows the shortest flash you still caught, and your best on this device is saved as a single number.
Mouse, touch, or keyboard
When the board covers up, focus moves onto it, so arrow keys pick a tile and Enter confirms. If you switch tabs while a board is lit, that board is shown again when you come back.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How do I play What Caught Your Eye?
Press start and watch the board. It lights up for a moment and covers itself; tap the tile that was different. Ten boards make one run.
How does the flash change?
It goes 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.25, and 0.2 seconds. The last five boards also use subtler differences.
What does one tile off mean?
You tapped a tile touching the answer, including diagonally. It doesn't count as caught, but it shows you saw roughly where it was.
What is saved on my device?
Only one number: the shortest flash you've caught, kept in this browser. Boards and taps aren't saved or uploaded.
Why do I have to start the board over after switching tabs?
The flash time is the score. If the page is hidden while the board is lit, you didn't really see it, so it lights up again when you're back.
