Forest Warm-Up is where most players should begin. Twelve scenes of trees, ferns, mushrooms and small woodland clutter, drawn with generous spacing and a limited palette so that a changed object still reads clearly on a phone screen held at arm's length. Nothing here is designed to punish you: the point of the pack is to teach your eye a scanning habit it can carry into the harder packs.

What's in the scenes
Each scene is built from a forest floor, a tree line and a scattering of props: toadstools, logs, bushes, birds and the occasional stray leaf. Because the backdrop is calm, the differences sit on objects rather than on texture. You will see objects vanish, swap colour, grow, shrink and shift position, and in the later levels an extra prop appears that has no twin at all.
The difficulty curve across 12 levels
Levels 1 to 4 hold three differences with a wide target time, which is enough room to solve them without hurrying. Levels 5 to 8 step up to four differences and add more props to the scene, so the same change is harder to isolate. Levels 9 to 12 reach five differences and start using moved objects, which are consistently the slowest change type for every player.
Typical solve time: First-time players finish the early levels in around forty seconds and the last few in a minute and a half. Once the scanning habit is in place, thirty seconds is a realistic target across the pack.
Best suited to: New players, anyone returning after a long break, and families playing together on one screen.
Solving tips for this pack
- Scan in horizontal bands from top to bottom rather than jumping between the two scenes at random.
- Count repeating props such as mushrooms and birds — a count mismatch hands you a difference for free.
- Check the outer edges early; changes near the frame are easy to overlook because your eye sits in the middle.
- If you stall for more than fifteen seconds, look specifically for something that moved rather than something that is missing.
