Spot the Difference

Very few puzzles have universal appeal, but Spot the Differences can be enjoyed by anyone. How good are your powers of observation? It is almost impossible to resist the challenge.

We've all seen Spot the Differences before, but the clever manipulation of photographic images brings a new dimension to an old puzzle. Look out for the visual gags. Puzzles are arranged in three levels. Differences range from the obvious to the subtle, but they are always fair. Once you have discovered a change, you'll wonder how you failed to spot it, before!

To make matters more interesting, we have introduced a target time (the time it took our puzzle editor to solve each puzzle, in fact). This will appeal to the more competitive – but even if you accept the time challenge, do remember to relax and enjoy the puzzle.

In case you run out of patience, answers are at the back. We've chosen to describe the changes rather than ring them, so that if you choose to check one solution, you will not notice marked changes on other puzzles. We've used a grid system as a reference aid for the changes.

The magazine also includes other observational puzzles, including Odd-One-Out, Wordsearch and Screen Test.
