About Erase the extra element

Erase the extra element is a puzzle about spotting what does not belong. Every level presents a scene, and somewhere in it sits a wrong element, an addition that has no business being there. Your task is to find it and erase it, and removing it uncovers the hidden truth the scene was concealing underneath.

Each puzzle is a small exercise in reading a picture closely. You look at the scene as a whole, decide which part feels out of place and act on that judgment. When you get it right, erasing the extra piece reveals what lies beneath and shows what was really going on. The controls are as small as the idea: a left mouse button click erases on a computer, and a tap on the screen erases on a phone or other mobile device. It sits between a hidden object search and a logic puzzle, since the odd part only becomes obvious once you think about what the scene is meant to show.

How to play Erase the extra element

Objective

Spot the one element in each scene that is out of place, then erase it so the hidden truth underneath comes to light.

Controls

Desktop

  • Left mouse button click: erase an element

Mobile

  • Tap on the screen: erase an element

Getting started

  1. Open a puzzle and study the whole scene before acting, since one element in it is wrong.
  2. Ask what each part of the picture is doing there, and pick out the one that feels out of place.
  3. Click it with the left mouse button on a computer, or give it a tap on a phone, to erase it.
  4. Look at what the erased area reveals underneath, which shows the hidden truth of the scene.
  5. Move on to the following puzzle and repeat, reading each new scene with the same care.

Tips

  • The wrong element may not stand out at first glance, so check each object against the situation the scene is showing.
  • Erasing reveals what lies beneath, so the right answer is often the piece that covers or hides something in the picture.
  • Take a moment before erasing; each puzzle asks you to read the scene first, and a careful look beats guessing at random spots.
