LinkedIn or Interpol Score Challenges

Give your game a goal. You only need the normal game and a round limit; there is no special mode or account to set up.

Quick challenge: ten faces

  1. Set the filter to None and press Reset.
  2. Reload the page so you start on a fresh group of ten.
  3. Answer ten faces without skipping.
  4. Your Score out of ten is your result. Seven right is 70%.

Each group of ten has five faces from each source, which is why the reload step helps: it starts you at the beginning of a balanced group. Your recently seen faces are still skipped, so a second attempt shows new ones.

Longer challenge: 50 answers

Press Reset, pick a filter and keep it for the whole run. Play until Total reaches 50, then note your accuracy and best streak. Thirty right is 60%; forty right is 80%. Skips don’t count toward Total, so use Total rather than the number of faces you saw.

Fifty answers give a much fairer picture than one short streak. It’s still a game score, though. It can’t show that anyone is good at spotting criminals or checking someone’s job.

Compare scores with friends

  • Agree on the number of rounds and the filter before you start.
  • Play on your own devices, then press Share score and mention the filter and round count.
  • Compare accuracy at the same Total. Longest streak works as a tiebreaker.

Each device gets its own shuffled faces, so it’s a friendly comparison rather than a head-to-head match. There are no rooms, online multiplayer or leaderboards. To see the same faces, share one screen and have everyone write down their guess before the answer is shown.

For classrooms and group discussions

With players aged 16 or over, the game works well as a conversation starter. After a few rounds, ask which details shaped people’s guesses, such as clothing, expression or photo quality, and compare that with the answers. How often did first impressions turn out wrong?

We use real data from LinkedIn and INTERPOL for education and entertainment purposes only. In a group setting, talk about the reasoning rather than sharing names or photos, and let anyone skip or stop. Some notices describe serious charges, and a notice is not a finding of guilt.
