Misfit

Play →

Misfit puts five boxes on a conveyor belt. Four of them follow a hidden rule and one doesn't. Find the misfit and kick it off the line.

How it works

Each shipment puts five boxes on the belt. Four follow a rule and one doesn't. Tap the misfit to kick it off.

If you tap a box that does fit, it gets stamped OK and you take a mistake. Keep going until you find the misfit.

There are five shipments a day. Your result is how many you got on the first try, and how many mistakes you made in total.

The rules

Rules can be about numbers, letters, words, dice or Roman numerals. The type of box is shown on the scoreboard, so you know what kind of rule to look for.

When boxes show numbers in a sequence, they stay in order on the belt, so look for the one that breaks the pattern.

Example

The boxes say 40, 48, 54, 64 and 72. 40, 48, 64 and 72 are all multiples of 8, but 54 isn't, so it's the misfit.

Word rounds work the same way. If four of the words are palindromes, the one that isn't is the misfit.

Tips

  1. 1Check the box type first. It tells you what kind of rule to look for.
  2. 2For numbers, check what they're multiples of and look at the gaps between them.
  3. 3If nothing jumps out, try a different kind of rule.
  4. 4The last shipments are the hardest, so slow down there.
