Why this game?

By the age of 5, children are able to demonstrate selective attention and focus their attention in a visual discrimination task. These skills will develop rapidly in the coming years and will be highly sought after in their school career.

Counterfeit is designed to challenge the selective attention and visual discrimination skills of children aged 5 to 10. The different levels offered, with increasingly subtle differences between the images, make it an evolving game adapted to the development of each child's abilities.

Comparing images with slight differences between them also requires the child to engage their short-term memory. Indeed, to become skilled at the game, the player benefits from memorizing the characteristics that distinguish the images in order to guide their search. This characteristic of the game distinguishes it from a more classic visual search game and makes it a little more difficult than the Placote Chasseurs en herbe game.
