Just like "Where's Waldo?" used to keep us awake long past bedtime, flash game Pixel Students makes getting work done very difficult. The concept is the same as classic Waldo -- find a specific person within a huge crowd. But, since this version comes from innovative interactive designer Alan Outten, we get to feel a little more grown-up while we play.



Hint: If you're stuck, slowly move your mouse around the screen. As you hover near your target, everyone else will start to drift away. (It'll make sense once you start playing.)
