What is Guess the Game?

Guess the Game is GameBrain's free daily video game quiz: one mystery game per day, six guesses, and a new clue after every wrong guess. Unlike gaming quizzes that only show cover art, our clues come from GameBrain's own data — review analyses of over 100,000 games and a database of 800,000+ titles.

You'll read what players actually praise and complain about, keywords that only someone who played the game would know, its genre, playtime, price and popularity — and if you still need help, you can guess the game by picture from a pixelated or closely cropped screenshot. Whether you are here for a quick video game quiz or to keep a daily streak alive with friends, there's a new game name to guess every day.

    Every puzzle opens with what players say about the game, mined from real reviews

Guess the game by picture, by keywords, or by what players say

Most puzzles in this genre are picture-only: a blurred cover, a zoomed screenshot, done. This guess the game quiz opens with language instead. Clue one is what players actually wrote in their reviews. Clue two is a handful of keywords — characters, places, mechanics — that mean nothing to you unless you played it. Clue three is the cold profile: genre, platforms, median playtime, price, and how many people rated it.

Only the last two clues are pictures, and they come in one of two shapes chosen per puzzle: a screenshot pixelated down to a coarse grid and then sharpened, or a 4× crop on a single detail that then pulls back to 2×. So you can still guess the game by picture — you just should not need to. It is the same once-a-day rhythm as Wordle, with video games as the subject and review data as the evidence: no unlimited mode, no way to grind out today’s answer, one game name to guess for everyone, and yesterday’s answers listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every day there is one mystery video game and you have six guesses against five clues. Each wrong guess unlocks the next clue, and if nothing comes to mind you can hit Skip to spend a guess on the next clue straight away. The clues are: what players say in their reviews, keywords only someone who played the game would recognise, the game’s genre, platforms, playtime, price and popularity, and finally two looks at a screenshot — either heavily pixelated then sharper, or closely cropped then pulled back. Type a game name into the guess box and pick it from the suggestions; the fewer clues you need, the better your share result looks.

GameBrain analyzes player reviews for more than 100,000 games. The clues are generated from that data: aspect summaries mined from real reviews, the median playtime players report, plus prices and screenshots from our database of 800,000+ titles. The keyword clue names characters, places and mechanics from the game itself, so it helps you only if you have actually played it. No other game quiz has these clues.

A new game to guess appears every day at midnight UTC — one puzzle per day, the same game for everyone worldwide.

Yes. The last two clues are pictures. Which kind you get varies from day to day: some puzzles pixelate a screenshot to a coarse grid and then sharpen it, others crop in 4× on one detail and then pull back to 2×. Either way you can still guess the game by picture on the final guesses.

There is no unlimited mode — a single daily puzzle keeps streaks and shared results fair. Past puzzles are listed on this page with their answers, each linking to that game’s full profile and its similar-games page.

After the sixth guess the puzzle ends and the answer is revealed, with links to that game’s full GameBrain profile and to its similar-games page — so a miss still tells you about a game you did not know. Your streak resets, a new game to guess arrives at midnight UTC, and past puzzles stay listed on this page with their answers.

Yes, free forever. No signup and no app needed — your streak and stats are stored in your browser.
