Guess The Game shows a screenshot from a video game and gives you six guesses to name it. Each miss, or a skip when the first image tells you nothing, unlocks the next shot, numbered one to six, and a countdown shows when the next puzzle arrives. Puzzles are numbered, with #1635 up on November 4, 2026. The pleasure is recognizing a game world from one well-chosen frame.
Picks here keep at least one of Guess The Game's two halves: the subject, video games, or the format, an image that gets more revealing with each miss. Image-based game quizzes come first, then the same reveal format for films, then games where the clue is a Steam review, a keyword list, a color strip or a soundtrack, and last the attribute-comparison style of game guessing.
Spreads video game recognition across a ladder of daily modes that get harder as you go, using cover art, other artwork, characters, keywords and spec sheets. It is the widest image-led companion to Guess The Game.
Built around older games: a retro title fills in one letter at a time while wrong answers bring more clues, and separate modes work from box art and screenshots, close to Guess The Game's own format.
Swaps the in-game screenshot for the packaging: the clue is a game's cover art, the answer is typed on a keypad built into the page, and you can ask for a clue or skip if nothing comes to mind.
The film version of the formula: six attempts at naming a movie from a run of screenshots, with one more still unlocked each time you miss or pass, so the rhythm is identical.
Also built on movie stills, starting from a single frame and adding another whenever you miss or pass, up to six tries, and it offers a TV show mode for anyone who watches more series than films.
Stays with video games but drops the pictures: the clues are what players wrote about a game on Steam, with one more unlocked after each miss and six guesses in total, the same count Guess The Game allows.
Another review-based puzzle, where the clues are tongue-in-cheek Steam write-ups, at most five, with each wrong answer adding one more. Knowing a game's reputation matters as much as knowing how it looks.
Begins with a few keywords describing a video game, then falls back on emoji and a blurry pixel version of the cover, with six lives and colors that flag when a guess belongs to the right franchise.
Reduces a film to a strip of its colors, and passing or missing brings hints like when it came out and its tagline. A companion edition does the same for video games, the closest fit for Guess The Game fans.
Trades sight for sound: the clue is a stretch of soundtrack and the answer is the game it belongs to, beginning with just the start of the track and hearing one more second each time you pass or miss.
Moves from pictures to data: you get ten tries, and each one is compared with the mystery game on details like who developed it, which platforms it reached, its genres, its year and how critics scored it.
Works from a clue sheet instead of an image: the platforms a game came out on, its genres and the year it launched. Ten lives give plenty of room, and another hint opens after several attempts.
Up to six, one for each guess. The first image is all you see at the start, and every wrong answer or skip reveals the next of the six, so passing costs a guess but buys a new view of the game. The page shows how many guesses remain and counts down to the next puzzle.
Yes. Its page links to a family of guessing games built the same way, for songs, books, films, logos, houses and phrases among others, plus a few games of other kinds such as Kinda Hard Golf.
Guess The Movie and Flickle.co both reveal a film through stills, adding one after each miss or skip over six tries, which matches Guess The Game's pacing. Spectrle is a stranger option that reduces a movie to its colors, and it has a video game edition too.
