Step by step
How to play Find First
1Set up the page
Pick the page style, how many things go on the page (40 to 100), the race-to target and what you fill with: pen or bubbles, or balloons and a bow with Premium. You can add a 5, 7 or 10 second peek at the whole page and choose who calls first.
2Sit across from each other
On one phone, lay it flat between you. Whoever calls gets the big pad, and the page turns to face whoever hunts. Online, you each play on your own phone.
3Call something
Pick one of eight call cards, each tagged with a hint like Tiny, Edge or Crowded, or call your own from the keypad. It has to be on the page and not circled yet.
4Hunt and fill at the same time
The hunter scans the page and taps what was called. Meanwhile the caller fills their sheet as fast as they can, at most one mark every third of a second. A wrong tap freezes the hunter's page for a moment.
5The find stops the pen
When the hunter finds it, it gets circled, the caller's pen stops and the finder calls next. The page stays the same all game, so you learn it as you go.
How you win
The first to fill their sheet up to the race-to target wins. If everything on the page is circled before that, whoever has more marks wins; equal marks is a draw.

Why it is fun for couples
It is two games at once: a staring contest with the page and a scribbling race, and the only way to slow your partner's pen is to find things faster.

Tips to win at Find First
Call the hard ones
The longer your partner hunts, the more you fill. Small, tilted or crowded items buy you time, and the hint tags on the call cards point them out.
Learn the page while they pick
The page never changes during a match. Scan it while your partner is choosing what to call, and you will find things faster when it is your turn to hunt.
Turn on the peek
A 5 to 10 second look at the whole page before the first call is a head start for both of you, so use it to remember where things are.
Don't tap everything
A wrong tap freezes your page for a moment. Looking properly is faster than tapping every number that might be it.
Fill in a rhythm
Marks count at most one every third of a second, so frantic scribbling doesn't help. A steady rhythm fills the sheet just as fast.

FAQ
Find First questions
How do you play Find First?
One of you calls something written on a shared page of numbers, letters or emoji. While the other hunts for it, the caller fills their sheet with marks. The find stops the pen and the finder calls next. The first to fill their sheet wins.
Can we play Find First on one phone?
Yes. Lay the phone flat between you and sit across from each other. The caller gets the big pad to fill, and the page turns to face whoever hunts.
Can we play it long distance?
Yes. Online, each of you plays on your own phone and sees the other's sheet filling while you hunt.
Is Find First free?
Yes. Number pages with the pen or bubbles are free, with three free matches a day and more unlocked by watching a short ad. Letters, emoji, mixed pages, balloons and the bow come with Premium, which also removes the limit.
What is the best strategy?
Call things that are hard to find, because you fill for as long as your partner hunts, and learn the page while your partner is deciding what to call, because it never changes during a match.
