Odd One Out Rush

A crowd walks onto screen — one prompt flashes ('Who is a robot?', 'Who stole the cake?') — tap the imposter before time runs out.

Core mechanic

Each round drops a tiny scene of similar-looking characters with one anomaly; tap the suspect that matches the clue to score and chain combos.

Controls

One thumb: tap to accuse the imposter.

Theme

Social-deduction brain puzzles in the Who Is? / Brain Test vein — mini crowds, micro-clues, one liar.

Why now

Who Is? by Unico Studio has 1.6M likes on Poki and 2M+ votes; the 'spot the imposter in a crowd' framing is its breakout hook and a natural hypercasual loop.
