What is GuessThe.Game?
GuessThe.Game is a daily puzzle for people who grew up with a controller in hand. You see a screenshot from a mystery video game and have to name it. If you guess wrong, or skip, you get another screenshot along with extra details about the game, and you have six chances in total. The first picture is usually something vague, like a corner of a menu or an empty landscape, and the later ones become more and more recognisable. The challenge covers every era and kind of game, from old arcade classics to recent hits, so some days you will know it instantly and some days you will be stumped until the last picture. Small details such as the font, the style of the menus or the colour palette are often the best clues. It was one of the earliest Wordle-style games and is free in the browser. It suits gamers of every age and anyone who enjoys Framed but knows more about games than films.
How to play
- Look at the first screenshot and type the game's name.
- Each wrong guess or skip reveals a new screenshot and an extra detail.
