> THE BASICS

  1. A clue appears at the top of the screen — usually one sentence about a person, place, event, work of art, or document.
  2. Three blurred pixel-art images sit below it. Exactly one of them matches the clue.
  3. Pick an image by clicking it or pressing 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard.
  4. If you're right, the image un-blurs and an explanation panel opens. If you're wrong, the correct answer is still revealed so every question teaches you something.
  5. Press Enter to load the next question.

> SCORING & COMBOS

  • A correct answer starts at 100 points, plus a speed bonus based on how quickly you answer.
  • Combo multiplier: consecutive correct answers raise your multiplier, up to x5.
  • Classic, Daily, and Category: each game has five questions.
  • Endless: your first wrong answer ends the run.
