Find the Set

🎮 How to Play

Sharpen your observation skills with Find the Set, a stimulating puzzle game where speed and strategy collide. Your goal is to quickly identify "sets" of three cards from a grid of twelve. A valid set must have all three cards sharing the same characteristic or all three having different characteristics across four categories: color 🎨, shape 🔷, number, and fill pattern. Click or tap on three cards you believe form a set. If correct, they vanish, and new cards replace them. The challenge continues until the deck is empty or time runs out!

🕹️ Controls

Desktop/Laptop Players: Use your mouse to click and select cards. Simply click on three cards to submit your potential set.
Mobile/Touchscreen Players: Tap directly on the cards with your finger to select them. The controls are fully optimized for touch play.
Universal Controls: Look for a 'Hint' button 🔍 if you get stuck, which will highlight a possible set. The game features seamless play across all devices.

🎯 Objectives

Your primary objective is to clear the entire board by finding all possible sets before time expires ⏳. Each successfully identified set earns you points, with bonuses for speed and accuracy. For a high score, you must be both fast and precise. Long-term, aim to climb the leaderboards 🏆, improve your personal best, and master the patterns to become a set-finding champion. Victory is achieved by successfully matching all cards with a sharp eye and quick reflexes.

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Scan the entire board systematically instead of focusing on one area. This helps you spot patterns and potential matches much faster.
• ⚡ Speed is key, but accuracy is better! Submitting an incorrect set costs precious time. Be sure of your match before committing.
• 💰 Look for the hardest matches first. Often, the most complex-looking cards are part of a set that others miss, clearing them makes the remaining board easier to scan.
• 🏆 Practice makes perfect. Regular play trains your brain to recognize common set combinations instantly, drastically improving your score and reaction time.
