Show HN: Doubletake – a daily spot-the-difference in ink and wash
Doubletake is a new daily browser game that presents a spot-the-difference puzzle rendered in ink and wash illustration style.
Doubletake launched on August 20, 2026, as a daily spot-the-difference puzzle game built around ink and wash illustrations, per a Show HN post by the creator, HN user jokojogi.
The game, playable at doubletake.day, follows the daily-game format popularized by Wordle: one puzzle per day, shared by all players. The twist is its visual style — ink and wash drawings rather than photographs or pixel art, giving the puzzles a hand-crafted aesthetic.
Beyond the HN submission, no additional details about the creator, team size, location, or funding are available from the sources. The project appears to be an independent, solo effort based on the single-author Show HN post.
The daily puzzle game genre has grown substantially since Wordle's breakout moment in late 2021, spawning dozens of single-mechanic browser games with daily refresh cycles. Spot-the-difference as a format has been a staple of print puzzles for over a century, though browser-native versions with a consistent daily cadence and a distinct visual identity remain relatively uncommon. Doubletake's ink and wash art style positions it as a more visually deliberate entry in the space.
