Little Bugs

you are the guardian of a group of lost beetles. At each stage, the beetles approach two pictures. One is a safe path forward, but the other is a trapdoor into the abyss. Your mission is to decipher the hint—a piece of a vegetable or an animal—to figure out which path is safe. If you misunderstand the clue, you won't be able to reach the finish line. Every choice matters in this charming world of clever puzzles. Are you ready to lead your little bugs to safety?

Controls

Click or tap the picture you believe is safe.

How to Play

  1. Look at both pictures presented to the beetles.
  2. Find the detail that distinguishes them.
  3. Choose the safe path.
  4. Lead the group through stage after stage.

Tips & Tricks

Compare the two images edge to edge rather than as a whole. The difference is usually in one corner and invisible if you look at the middle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is choosing between the two pictures a guess?

No. There is a readable difference between them, which is what makes each stage an observation problem rather than a coin flip.

What happens if I choose wrong?

The beetles fall through the trapdoor and the stage ends — restarting is immediate, so it costs very little.
