December Game: Spot the Difference — Holiday Patch

Overview

“Spot the Difference — Holiday Patch” is a cozy, winter-themed visual attention game designed to gently challenge the brain while keeping things fun and low-pressure. Players compare two almost-identical scenes and tap the small details that don’t match — testing focus, patience, and careful observation.

Purpose

This game aims to support cognitive skills often affected in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), such as selective attention, sustained concentration, and visual processing. It encourages the brain to slow down, notice details, and stay grounded in the present moment — all helpful components of FND brain retraining and regulation strategies.

Benefits of This Game

🧠 Improves Selective Attention

 Helps the brain practice filtering out distractions and focusing on relevant information.

🎯 Supports Visual Processing Speed

 Strengthens the ability to identify details quickly — a skill that can feel slowed or scattered during FND flare-ups.

🌿 Encourages Mindfulness & Grounding

 This calm, detail-oriented activity promotes present-moment focus and can reduce overwhelm.

🔁 Reinforces Cognitive Flexibility

 Players shift their gaze between scenes, scanning multiple areas — exercising flexible thinking.

💪 Builds Confidence Through Success

 Finding differences provides small “wins,” boosting motivation and a sense of capability.

How It Works:

1. Two cozy winter illustrations appear side-by-side.

2. Players search for small differences between the images.

3. When they see one, they tap or click to mark it.

4. Find all differences before the timer runs out!

5. A results screen appears, and players can restart at any time.
