Who Noticed

Thirty seconds to study a detailed photo. Can you answer six questions about it?

An everyday scene fills the screen for about thirty seconds. A kitchen, a shop window, a desk. Then it is gone and six questions arrive. What colour was the kettle. How many mugs were on the counter. What did the sign in the window say.

Phones stay dark while the picture is up, so nobody can sit there studying a screenshot. After each question the table finds out what it missed, which is usually more than anyone expects.

Five pictures a game, a point for each correct answer, and nothing extra for answering first. Play with up to eight people, or on your own against par.

How each way works

Friends playing Who Noticed on a television they can all see, each with a phone

Play with a group in your room

A TV, laptop or tablet — a phone each

The picture fills a television, laptop or tablet and phones only wake up once it has gone. One shared look, then everybody finds out together how little of it they kept.

Questions

Is Who Noticed free to play?

Yes, and there is nothing to buy later. Who Noticed runs in your browser: no download, no app store, no payment.

No. Open the link and play. It works on a phone, a tablet, a laptop and any television with a browser, and everyone at a table can be on a different kind of device.

Do I need an account?

Only if you want to start a game for other people to join. Playing on one shared screen works without one, and so does joining a game a friend started — you just choose a name.
