The goal
Each round shows one face. Decide whether the photo comes from a LinkedIn profile or an INTERPOL wanted notice, then check the answer. There is no time limit and no round limit, so you can play for as long as you like.
Scoring
| Counter | Goes up when | Goes back to zero when |
|---|---|---|
| Score | You answer correctly | You press Reset |
| Total | You answer, right or wrong | You press Reset |
| Streak | You answer correctly | You answer wrongly or press Reset |
| Best | Your streak beats your record | Only if you clear your browser’s site data |
| Accuracy | Score divided by Total, rounded to a whole percentage | |
- Skip never changes your numbers.
- Once you press a button, the answer is final.
- Scores are saved per browser, so a different phone or browser starts from zero.
Scoring example
You answer ten faces and get seven right: Score 7, Total 10, Accuracy 70%. You skip the next face, and nothing changes. Then you get one wrong: Total becomes 11, Score stays 7, Accuracy drops to 64% and your Streak goes back to zero. Best doesn’t change.
What is a good LinkedIn or Interpol score?
There is no official average to compare against. Picking the same answer every time gets you about 50%, because each group of ten has five faces from each source. Anything well above 50% over a long run is a good result. One lucky streak says less than your accuracy over 50 rounds, so compare runs of the same length with the same filter.
For a ready-made format, try a ten-face or 50-answer challenge. There is no leaderboard; scores are shared between friends.
How rounds are balanced
Every group of ten faces has five from each source, with no more than three from the same source in a row. Skipped faces count toward the group. Your browser remembers the last 500 faces you saw, so repeats are rare even after a reload. More in the help page.
Filters
A filter changes the face while you decide and is removed when the answer appears. The game remembers your choice.
| Filter | What it does | What it hides |
|---|---|---|
| None | Original image | Nothing |
| Black & White | Removes all colour | Background colour, skin tone, lighting temperature |
| Blur | Strong blur | Facial detail, text, expression |
| Sepia | Warm vintage wash | Modern vs. dated colour cues |
| Shrek mode | Green tint with extra saturation | Every colour clue |
| Saturate | Extreme colour boost | Natural skin tones and subtle lighting |
| Invert | Photo negative | Natural light and shadow, skin tone |
| 8-bit | Chunky retro pixels | All fine detail; only shapes remain |
| Potato quality | Blurry, low-resolution copy | Sharpness and texture |
| Censor bar | Black bar across the eyes | The eyes and gaze |
| Keyhole | Only a small circle in the middle is visible | Hair, clothing, framing and most of the face |
| Randomize quality | A different random filter each round | Whatever you were relying on last round |
Where the photos come from
We use real data from LinkedIn and INTERPOL for education and entertainment purposes only. Your answer is about where a photo was published, and a public notice is not a finding of guilt. Read more about the photos.
Play fair
- The game is about photographs, not a judgment of people. A wrong guess says more about how headshots look than about the person in them.
- Don’t use the game to make claims about real people. Notices change and are withdrawn regularly.
- If you think a photo shouldn’t be in the game, please contact us and we will remove it.
