Full trace — the sprite fades in underneath

Every shape is a different outline

Complete — sprite revealed

## How to play

Drag your finger along the numbered dots, in order — a loupe follows your touch so you can see past your fingertip. Trace closely enough and the shape reveals the sprite underneath.

## Scoring & strategy

Each shape has its own timer — 20 seconds on Easy, down to 15 on Hard, where you'll also trace more shapes per round, up to three. Missing the timer on any shape ends the round.

You don't need pixel-perfect tracing — cover enough of the outline and it locks in, revealing a random pet sprite underneath. Stray too far and it's a mistake: the trace resets and the timer keeps running.

## Rewards

[🎓 Brain Burst](/bursts/brain-burst/)

Finish every shape in the round for the strongest Brain Burst. Do it without a single mistake and you'll see a Focus Bonus on the result screen — the best outcome Dreaming Artist can give.
