YouTube Offers 'Spot the Difference' Oscars Game

by Terrence O'Brien on February 2, 2009 at 04:07 PM


A few months back, Google unveiled the ability to embed links and notes within videos on YouTube. While the usefulness of the new tool wasn't lost on anyone, the level of interactivity it allows may have been overlooked at first.

But a YouTube user known as copyrighthater has built a complex, video-based, photo-hunt game using these often overlooked tools. The game is divided into 30 "levels" -- timed videos that place two images of Oscar nominees side by side and ask you to spot the difference. Each part of the image is an annotated link; click the correct part and you'll be taken to the next level, or video.

The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly, but it's actually quite fun to play. We're excited to see how much more interactivity can be crammed into what is normally a passive experience -- watching kids act like fools. [From: Mashable]
