NORMAL

The rules of the game are simple: the original poster thinks of one or more things, and the commenters will try to guess them by asking questions to narrow down possibilities. When someone correctly guesses an item, edit it into your post and say who guessed it.

This sub is inspired by the character guessing threads they used to have on /r/WhoWouldWin, but that doesn't mean you're limited to using fictional characters. You can have people guess anything from your favorite animal to the contents of your purse.

Subreddit Rules

  1. No NSFW posts.
  2. No downvoting.
  3. No being rude or insulting.

Also, check out the Guidelines.

I created the famous "Who Am I" party game ! Try to guess your hidden character. Who are you ? - Play from 2 to 8 players directly in web browser for free. https://postitguess.io

To add more context

I'm French indie dev, and I developed this because with my friends we play the hidden word in the forehead a lot IRL and we didn't found an online version.

Game is currently trending in France thanks to famous twitch streamers and every days there are thousands of players, so I decided to launch it internationally.

How to play :

📞 Invite your friends to a voice call (Discord/Zoom/Skype)

🦹 Choose a character for someone to guess that everyone knows

❓ Ask questions to find your character

💬 Other players can only answer you with "yes" or "no"

🎯 Try to guess your character as soon as you have an idea

There is also the possibility to create themed games and multiple game modes are available.

Don't hesitate to come back to me if you have any questions or want more details!

Guess what animal I'm thinking of right now?

Hey! I created a puzzle guessing animal name game website.

Ask questions to infer the animal that I set up. Then you set up a puzzle and pass it to the next person.

Can you guess what animal I'm thinking of right now?

AI empowers us to build really powerful tools, but instead, I created a guessing game.

Hello!

As the title implies, we don't always have to save the word, sometimes we can have a little fun. I built this AI guessing game called Infinite Charades over the weekend and thought you might enjoy it. Simply help the AI figure out the next word!

Let me know what you think and what features you might like to see and share your experiences!

Guess the name of the character described in this post! Hint: It starts with a "B"!

This woman is nothing but pure evil. Why? Well, if you NEED to know, it is because: firstly, she can’t stop bragging about how beautiful and magnificent she is, despite her actual appearance saying otherwise – she is as thin as a stick and as tall as lamp post, which doesn’t make her pretty at all. Taking in consideration her clothing, which you don’t want to know, of what material it is made of – she loves to describe it to people, not caring if they’re not sick from this fact – it actually makes her UGLY. Secondly, she treats everyone like dirt, is incredibly smug and torments little children and kicks other people’s pets (mainly dogs, but also cats, birds, turtles, and others). Thirdly, she has terrible friends, who swear all the time and are horrible, loathsome people on their own (they also treat others like dirt!). Fourthly, she is incredibly loud and attention-hungry – while committing her crimes, she makes heavy use of flashing lights, that could cause seizures to some people, and ear-bleedingly loud music – mostly contested of a terrible cover of Frank Sinatra’s classic… I think you know what I’m talking about, do ya?! She also brags about treating her loyal minions (the denizens of Hell, more traditional demons) like slaves, starving them, and not rewarding them for massacres and crimes they help her commit. Aside from that, she also likes to irritate us by licking lollipops and shoving our eyes into an image of her doing that – she presumably thinks this makes her attractive, but on the contrary – she instead looks gross and infantile. Also, she can’t take any sort of criticism – and I do mean any sort – as she snaps every time, and violently retaliates. And finally, what’s possibly the worst thing about her, is that she lives in an indescribable denial. She thinks, that God and Satan are both actually feminine, like her (which is straightforward moronic, as everyone else knows they’re actually male), and that Angels are actually monstrous beyond our wildest imagination and they are destroying the world, and everything we have been told about them up to the day she suddenly appeared in our lives (about them being nice and helpful to the world, that we turn into them and go to heaven if we were good) is a lie (I admit, I am aware that the Angels were actually pretty weird in the Bible, to which she constantly refers to, but they weren’t as murderous and tyrannical, as she insists). Oh, did I also forgot to mention she glorifies the use of torture of all things?! She is a monster! She is nothing but a complete monster!
