LinkedIn or Interpol FAQ

A free guessing game you play in your browser. Each round shows one face, and you decide whether the photo comes from a LinkedIn profile or an INTERPOL wanted notice. The answer and the person’s details appear straight after your guess.

The idea went viral in 2025 and several independent versions exist. Kotaku’s game listing credits a browser version by the developer Thebrainfox, released on 8 June 2025. In November 2025, Journal du Net reported on another version, built in August by a 16-year-old in Paris, which passed 130,000 daily players in October 2025 after streamers picked it up. linkedinorinterpol.xyz is a separate version, built and run by Jenish Patel, a full-stack developer, as a side project for fun.

In your browser, for free, with no app or account. The game is available in 14 languages; pick yours from the language menu at the top of the page.

Yes. There is no paid version, no account and nothing to unlock. Play as many rounds as you like.

Yes. The site never asks for a login, password, payment or download, and it has no pop-ups or redirects. Photos load from our own site and your score stays in your browser. If a site using the game’s name asks you to sign in, install something or “verify” your device, close it.

No. It is an independent game and not one of LinkedIn’s own puzzle games. LinkedIn is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation and INTERPOL is a trademark of the International Criminal Police Organization. Neither has endorsed the game.

Look at the face, press the blue LinkedIn button or the red Interpol button, read the answer and press Next. The how to play guide covers every control.

Yes: L or ← for LinkedIn, I or → for Interpol, Enter, Space or N for the next face, and S to skip.

Skip shows a different face without counting the round. Score, Total and Streak stay the same.

Score is your correct answers, Total is every round you answered, Streak is correct answers in a row, Best is your longest streak and Accuracy is Score divided by Total. The rules page has a worked example.

There is no official average. Guessing the same answer every time lands near 50%, so anything well above that over a long run is good. Compare runs of the same length with the same filter: seven out of ten and 35 out of 50 are both 70%.

Yes, in your browser on the device you are using. It survives reloads and closing the tab, but not clearing site data or switching browsers. Your score is never uploaded.

Filters change how the face looks while you guess: Black & White, Blur, Sepia, Shrek mode (everyone turns green), Saturate, Invert, 8-bit, Potato quality, Censor bar, Keyhole and Randomize quality. Each one hides a different clue, and the filter is removed when the answer appears. See what each filter does and how to play each one.

Yes. The game is built for phones first and works in any up-to-date browser on iPhone and Android. You can add it to your home screen for quick access. There is nothing to install.

No. The game runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers. It needs an internet connection and doesn’t work offline.

Usually, because it is a normal website that needs no app or sign-in. Some networks block game sites in general, and we don’t offer ways around a block. See playing at school or work.

Yes. Agree on a number of rounds and a filter, play on your own devices and compare shared scores. To see the same faces, share one screen and write down guesses before each answer. There are no online rooms or leaderboards.

Not at the moment. Every player gets their own shuffled faces. For a set goal, try a ten-face or 50-answer challenge.

The whole site, including the game, guides and help pages, is available in 14 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Use the language menu at the top of the page.

The order is shuffled. Each group of ten has five faces from each source, with no more than three from one source in a row. Skipping moves you through the same group; reloading starts a new one.

Rarely. Your browser remembers the last 500 faces you saw and avoids them, even after a reload or score reset. Each browser and device keeps its own history.

Reset clears Score, Total and Streak. It keeps Best, your filter choice and your recently seen faces. Clearing your browser’s site data removes everything.

Check your connection, make sure JavaScript and images are allowed, and reload. Scores only exist in the browser where you played. The help page has more fixes.

Yes. We use real data from LinkedIn and INTERPOL for education and entertainment purposes only. A public INTERPOL notice is not a finding of guilt, and a guess says nothing about a person’s character. Where the photos come from.

No. You never sign in to LinkedIn, and the game doesn’t contact LinkedIn or INTERPOL while you play.

No. Photos are sent one round at a time, and the answer only arrives after you guess. The data isn’t available for download, scraping or reuse in other games or products. See the terms of use.

No cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. The game saves your scores, filter choice and recently seen faces in your browser. See the privacy policy.

Send us the name and details shown after the guess through the contact page and we will remove the entry from the game. Only INTERPOL and the requesting country can withdraw an official notice itself.

A Red Notice is a request from a member country, shared through INTERPOL, asking police worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition or similar legal action. It is not an international arrest warrant and not a finding of guilt. INTERPOL’s explanation of Red Notices.

INTERPOL is an international organization that helps police in almost 200 member countries work together; it has no agents of its own who make arrests. Europol is the European Union’s law-enforcement agency and supports police in EU countries. The FBI is a national agency of the United States. The game only uses public INTERPOL Red Notices.

No. A guess is only about where a photo was published. Looks say nothing about a person’s job, character or guilt, and the answers often prove first impressions wrong. The tips page lists the clues that mislead people most.
