Upload a Photo

Choose a photo with plenty of detail — a busy room, a cluttered desk, a garden full of plants, a city street scene. The more things in the image, the more interesting the challenge.

You can upload a file from your device (keep it under 1 MB for the best loading speed) or paste a URL to an image already online.

Every image is automatically scanned by our AI to confirm it's appropriate for all ages. Anything flagged as inappropriate will be blocked before your game is created.

💡 Detail-rich photos with lots of objects make the best games. Think: a kitchen counter, a bookshelf, a market stall.

Pick Your Answer

Enter a single word that names something visible in your photo — something a player could find if they looked carefully enough. No spaces, no phrases.

Our AI reads the image to verify: Is the word a real English word? Is the thing actually visible? If the answer is impossible to see, or not a valid word, the game won't be created.

The AI also assigns a difficulty rating: EASY MEDIUM HARD. This rating is shown to guessers so they can choose appropriately challenging games.

💡 Aim for Medium or Hard. Easy games (one obvious object) are less fun. A partially hidden or small object that starts with a common letter makes for a great challenge.

Set Credits

Set three values:

  • Cost per Guess — credits each player pays per attempt. You receive this whether they're right or wrong.
  • Prize per Winner — credits you pay out to each correct guesser. Correct guesses are free — the cost is refunded.
  • Max Winners — how many players can win before the game ends automatically.

The total prize liability (prize × max winners) is deducted from your balance immediately as an escrow. Any unclaimed prizes are fully refunded when you end the game.

💡 Set Cost = 0 for a totally free game. Set Prize = 0 for a no-stakes challenge. The live summary shows whether you can afford the game before you commit.

Choose Visibility & Launch

One final setting — Guess Visibility — controls what players can see of each other's attempts:

  • 👁 Visible to all — all incorrect guesses are shown to everyone. Good for collaborative or social play.
  • 🔒 Own guesses only — each player only sees their own history. More competitive; no hints from other players.

Review your game summary, then hit Create Game. The credits are escrowed immediately and your game goes live — anyone browsing can start guessing right away.

You can end the game at any time from the game management page. Any remaining prize escrow is refunded to your balance.

💡 Share the direct link to your game with friends to make it a personal challenge.
