To make the game more exciting, set a time limit of 30 seconds. Ask everyone to study both pictures silently, then announce when the time is up. Anyone who finds the difference can explain exactly where it appears.
You can also make the challenge more relaxed by allowing participants to take as much time as they need. The point is not always to win; it is to enjoy the process of noticing something that initially escaped attention.
Remember, though, that solving one picture puzzle does not provide a scientific measure of intelligence or concentration. Performance can depend on many factors, including familiarity with these games, visual attention, and how quickly someone scans an image.

First, compare the characters. Look carefully at the father's face, glasses, clothing, arms, and legs. Next, examine the child, paying attention to the position of the hands and the teddy bear. Small changes around overlapping objects can be particularly easy to miss.
Then move to the surrounding environment. Compare the pillows, bed covering, book, floor, and sleeping cat. Check whether each object's outline, position, and visible features match its counterpart.
