About the Pattern Police leaderboard

The daily odd-one-out test: two samples of the same material, one hiding a tiny flaw. Catch it before the fuse burns down, the same 90 seconds for everyone.

This board ranks every signed-in player’s best verified score in Pattern Police of all time. Each player is listed once, with their best run: a better run replaces it, a worse one leaves it where it is.

How a run scores

  • Tap or click the flawed sample, or press ← or ↑ for the first and → or ↓ for the second, before the fuse burns down.
  • Keep picking right to grow your streak multiplier up to ×4; a wrong pick or a burnt-out fuse is a strike, and three strikes end the run.
  • Last the 90-second clock for the best score, then come back tomorrow: a new day of samples opens at midnight New York time.

How to climb the board

  • Do not comb both cards inch by inch. Rest your eyes on the middle of one card and let whatever breaks the pattern jump out; if nothing does after a moment, it is probably the other card.
  • Learn each material's flaw: a long bar in the weave, a gap in a tree ring, a wedge of grout around a tile, a lump in the sandpaper, a fat dot in the halftone. The label above the cards tells you which one is coming.
  • Speed is worth up to double points, but a strike costs your whole streak multiplier. On the subtle later rounds an extra half second is cheaper than a wrong guess.

Periods, ties and checks

All-time keeps each player’s best since the board opened. This week starts again every Monday at midnight New York time. Today starts again every day at midnight New York time, with one ranked attempt a day.

Equal scores share a place, and the run finished first is listed first.

A run records only your inputs. Our server plays them again with the same game code, and only a score the replay matches is verified.

The board lists every player, guests under their generated name. Sign in with Google or Apple from a result to keep your scores and pick your own name. Bots, scripts and other automated or assisted play are not allowed (see our terms of use).
