FoodGuessr is three daily food games sharing one streak. The main one, Classic, shows a dish through its photo, ingredients and a short description and gives you five guesses per round, over three rounds, to name the country or region it comes from. A miss brings a compass and a warmth reading, and after two misses the dish's name appears. A first-try answer earns the full 5,000 points. Cuisine Match and Plate-Off round out the day, and the reward is learning where a meal belongs.
Games that ask which country a plate belongs to lead the list, since that is FoodGuessr's Classic question, followed by a plate-versus-plate game close to Plate-Off and a recipe deduction game in the spirit of Cuisine Match. The last few stay with food from other angles, such as identifying a cheese or judging calories.
The closest match to FoodGuessr's Classic: a photo of a mystery dish and six guesses at its country, with points to spend on clues such as the ingredients, how it was cooked, its taste and when it is eaten, and partial credit by region.
Works from the ingredient list alone: you get five guesses at the country behind a dish, its name appears after the third miss and the country's opening letter after the fourth, much like FoodGuessr's two-miss name reveal.
Five dishes a day described through their flavors and history, and you place each one's homeland, a country or a region, before learning its name and what goes into it, a text-led take on FoodGuessr's question.
Matches FoodGuessr's Plate-Off almost exactly: two priced plates appear next to each other, and you choose whichever earned the better rating from voters, one pairing after another, with no map involved.
A recipe deduction game in the spirit of Cuisine Match: every dish you name returns eight clues in a row, covering cuisine, ingredients, method and taste among others, with eight guesses to land on the hidden recipe.
Narrows the plate to cheese: you have six attempts at an unknown cheese, and each one lights up traits such as country of origin, milk type and rind in green or red, so geography still plays a part.
In Classic, getting a dish on the first try is worth the full 5,000 points, with 1,000 taken off for each extra guess. Misses near the answer win some of that back, and each miss adds a compass pointing toward the right place plus a warmth reading for distance, measured between the nearest borders. After two misses the dish's name appears as an extra clue.
The game uses a loose definition built around food cultures, so places such as Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Greenland count on their own. The United States is divided into Hawaii, Alaska and the contiguous states, and the UK into Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. When a dish belongs to more than one place, any correct location is accepted.
Besides Classic, the daily set includes Cuisine Match, where you pick which dish fits a given country's cooking, and Plate-Off, where you guess the plate that people liked more out of two. All three feed one Super Streak, and Classic now has a multiplayer challenge. Scrandle is the closest standalone version of Plate-Off.
