Your first round, step by step
- 1
Open the game
Go to the home page. The game starts in your browser straight away, with no account or download. The first face appears in the square frame.
- 2
Look at the face
There is no timer, so take your time. On a phone you can zoom in for a closer look.
- 3
Choose LinkedIn or Interpol
Tap the blue LinkedIn button if you think the photo comes from a LinkedIn profile, or the red Interpol button if you think it comes from a wanted notice. On a keyboard, press L or I, or the left and right arrow keys.
- 4
Read the answer
The frame turns green if you were right and red if you were wrong. A card shows the person’s name and either their job and location or the charges listed on the notice.
- 5
Go to the next face
Press Next, or Enter, Space or N on a keyboard. The next face is usually ready straight away.
- 6
Skip when you’re unsure
Skip shows a different face without counting the round. It is also useful if a photo fails to load.
- 7
Share or reset
Share score opens your phone’s share menu or copies a short message with your result. Reset clears Score, Total and Streak but keeps your Best streak.
Controls
| What you want to do | Mouse or touch | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Guess LinkedIn | Blue LinkedIn button | L or ← |
| Guess Interpol | Red Interpol button | I or → |
| Next face after the answer | Next button | Enter, Space or N |
| Skip without scoring | Skip button | S |
| Change the filter | Filter menu | Tab to the menu, then the arrow keys |
What the numbers mean
- Score: how many you got right.
- Total: how many rounds you answered. Skips don’t count.
- Streak: correct answers in a row. One wrong answer sets it back to zero.
- Best: your longest streak on this device.
- Accuracy: Score divided by Total, as a percentage.
Your numbers are saved in your browser, so clearing site data deletes them. The rules page has a worked scoring example.
Making it harder with filters
The Filter menu above the photo changes how the face looks while you decide: Black & White, Blur, Sepia, Shrek mode, Saturate, Invert, 8-bit, Potato quality, Censor bar, Keyhole or Randomize quality. The filter is removed when the answer appears, and your choice is remembered next time you play.
Fair rounds and fewer repeats
Every group of ten faces has five from each source, and you never get more than three from the same source in a row. Your browser remembers the last 500 faces you saw, even after a reload or a score reset, so repeats are rare.
Set yourself a goal
The game has no end, so some players set a target: a ten-face challenge or a 50-answer run works well, and you can compare results with friends.
