Inspector Cat

Hidden object with a race attached. Each round names the items you need and fills the board with far too much else, and the other inspectors are looking for the same things at the same time.

That competition changes how the genre plays. In a normal hidden-object scene you can take as long as you like; here hesitating costs you the item, so the skill becomes scanning in a pattern rather than staring at one corner until it gives up.

Accuracy still counts. Points come from being both quick and right, and the ranking at the end of a round reflects both.

1. Read the list of items for the round.
2. Scan the board in a consistent pattern.
3. Click each item the moment you see it.
4. Finish ahead of the other inspectors to climb the ranking.
