What is LinkedIn or Interpol?

LinkedIn or Interpol is a free browser game based on a popular internet joke: a stiff corporate headshot and a police photo can look surprisingly alike. Each round shows one face. You pick where you think the photo was published, then the answer appears with the person’s name and details.

We use real data from LinkedIn and INTERPOL for education and entertainment purposes only. Your guess is about where a photo was published, not about anyone’s character, and a public notice is not a finding of guilt.

How to play

Look at the face. Take as long as you like. There is no timer.
Choose LinkedIn or Interpol. Blue button for a LinkedIn profile photo, red button for a wanted notice. On a keyboard, press L or I.
Check the answer. The frame turns green or red and the person’s details appear. Press Next, or Enter, for the next face.

Not sure? Press Skip and the round won’t count. Share score copies your result so you can send it to friends. Every button and shortcut is explained in the how to play guide.

Filters that make it harder

Open the Filter menu above the photo to hide the clues you rely on. The filter disappears when the answer is shown, so you can see what you missed.

Black & White

Removes colour, so backgrounds and lighting tones stop helping.

Blur

Softens the face. You judge shape and posture instead of detail.

Sepia

An old-photo tint that makes every face look like an archive print.

Shrek mode

Turns everyone green. It sounds silly, and it is harder than it looks.

Saturate

Pushes colours to the extreme, so skin tones and lighting are no use.

Invert

Shows the photo as a negative. Faces you would read at a glance suddenly look unfamiliar.

8-bit

Big retro pixels. You see the outline of a face, not the features.

Potato quality

A blurry, low-resolution copy, like a photo forwarded too many times.

Censor bar

A black bar covers the eyes, so you have to read the rest of the face.

Keyhole

Only a small circle in the middle of the face is visible.

Randomize quality

A different filter every round, so you can’t settle into one habit.

Play for fun or set a target

There is no limit on rounds. If you want a goal, try the ten-face challenge for a short break or a 50-answer run for a more reliable score. When you compare scores with friends, use the same filter.

Why is it harder than it sounds?

Out of context, a formal headshot and an ID photo have a lot in common: a plain background, a straight-on angle and a neutral expression. Every face in the game also uses the same square framing, so the background and image size won’t give the answer away.

Looks don’t tell you someone’s job or history, and the reveal often proves first impressions wrong. Find out where the photos come from, or test yourself over 50 rounds.
