ETHNOGUESSR

Enter the World of Ethnoguessr

Ethnoguessr is an innovative and thought-provoking game that challenges your knowledge of global diversity. Using powerful AI facial analysis, it invites players to guess a person’s ethnic origins based on their appearance. Whether you're exploring for fun or interested in learning about different cultures, Ethnoguessr offers a unique experience that blends education with entertainment.

What Makes It Unique?

Unlike typical trivia or geography games, Ethnoguessr focuses on facial features, genetics, and cultural diversity. With every face you encounter, you engage with the global mosaic of humanity—and sometimes confront your assumptions.

Powered by Cutting-Edge Technology

The heart of Ethnoguessr is a sophisticated robot that analyzes facial structures using artificial intelligence. It compares those features with a global database to generate its own predictions, giving players a chance to see how close their guesses are to the AI's top results.

How to Play Ethnoguessr

The game is intuitive and accessible to anyone with an interest in culture and curiosity.

Step 1: Observe the Face

You’ll be shown a portrait of a person. Take a moment to study their facial features—such as eye shape, skin tone, hair texture, and bone structure.

Step 2: Make Your Guess

Enter your guess for the person’s country or ethnic origin. You can type the name of a country or select from a list of options, depending on the game mode.

Step 3: View AI Predictions

After submitting your guess, Ethnoguessr will reveal its top 5 country matches. These are generated by the AI’s facial analysis engine and are ranked by percentage closeness.

Scoring and Learning

Ethnoguessr is more than just a guessing game—it’s also about improving cultural awareness.

Closeness and Accuracy Percentages

Each of the five countries listed by the AI includes a “closeness” and “accuracy” score. This tells you how well the AI matched the face to that region, adding a strategic element to the game.

Learn About the Matches

Clicking on any of the results provides background info on that country’s population, facial diversity, and cultural traits. This makes Ethnoguessr a valuable educational tool.

Play Alone or With Friends

Ethnoguessr supports solo play, classroom settings, or friendly competition. Compare guesses, challenge biases, and enjoy learning through play.

A Game That Sparks Conversation

Ethnoguessr opens doors to discussion about identity, ethnicity, and global diversity, making it as meaningful as it is entertaining.
