Guess the Game has run for 124 days in a row - players have their knowledge of video games tested, and each new day sees six new screenshots of a random game enter the fray. The game can be from any era, any genre, and any series, and it's up to players to recognize the screenshots and correctly guess the game they're looking at, including the specific sequel if the game is from a franchise. This guide will explain how the game works and give hints to players that may need them.
How To Play Guess the Game
Created and maintained by indie game developer Sam Stiles, Guess the Game acts as a video-game-centered clone of Wordle. Instead of guessing letters and getting immediate feedback if they're on the right track, Guess the Game has players presented with one screenshot at a time, slowly revealing more information after each incorrect guess. Video game veterans and novices alike have found great fun in testing their knowledge of video games and sharing their results with friends. For those unfamiliar, the rules are as follows.
First, head to the 'GuessThe.Game' website or find a link directly to it via Sam Stiles' Twitter bio. Then, type the first guess into the box - it's also possible to 'skip' to the next image, but this counts as a guess.
- The game featured must not have been used for any previous GuessTheGame days.
- The screenshots can be of anything in the game - cutscenes, gameplay, UI, etc.
- The game must be part of GuessTheGame's database (it appears while typing a guess.)
Players need to type the name of the game they believe is being shown in the screenshots, then click or tap the full name of the game if it appears in the list that appears while they type. If players believe they know the game, but it isn't appearing in the list, they should check their spelling or accept that it's not the game they were thinking of and try again.
- After one incorrect guess, the game's Metacritic score is revealed - if it has one.
- After two incorrect guesses, the game's original release platforms are revealed.
- After three incorrect guesses, the game's genre is revealed.
- After four incorrect guesses, the game's release year is revealed.
- After five incorrect guesses, the game's developer is revealed.
- After six incorrect guesses, the game is over, and the game's name is revealed.
Players are also presented with a new screenshot that reveals a little more of the game - GuessTheGame's submission guidelines encourage screenshots of cutscenes and environments for the first two or three entries, with them getting easier and revealing more of the game with each stage.
