What Is It?: guess the pixelated picture with your chat
A picture starts as a few blurry blocks and sharpens step by step. Chat types what it is; the earlier you get it, the more points.
How to play
- Press Start. A heavily pixelated picture appears, with its category (footballers, snacks, games…).
- Every few seconds it gets sharper, six steps in total. Chat types what it is.
- Use 'Sharper now' to speed up, or 'Reveal' to show the answer early.
- After the last picture, the sharpest eyes in chat are crowned.
What chat types
| what it is | Type the name: small typos and any capitalization are fine |
Scoring
- 6 points at the blurriest step, down to 1 when it's sharp.
