ETHNOGUESSR

EthnoGuessr – Guess the Ethnicity, Not Just the Place

EthnoGuessr is a unique and innovative browser-based game that combines the thrill of visual identification, the depth of anthropology, and the strategy of geography. Unlike most geography-based games that use flags, landscapes, landscapes, or monuments, EthnoGuessr challenges players to think about human diversity. Your objective is to identify the ethnic origin of uniquely generated composite human faces by dropping a pin somewhere on the world map.

EthnoGuessr is more than just a guessing game—it's an educational and mind-bending journey across cultures and continents. EthnoGuessr is growing in popularity among language enthusiasts, trivia lovers, anthropology students, and the culturally curious.

How to Play EthnoGuessr

Look at the Face

Every round begins with a composite image of a human face—a digital composite of the typical features of the ethnic group. This composite could use features from a broad range of people in a given ethnic group. Imagine the composite as:

• a casual observation of ancestry from a face you might see in your country
• a direct observation of a person's ethnicity connected to their face, culture, background, or language

Study the face, facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, hair type, and other subtle features carefully, and consider this a visual perception test based on your cultural knowledge.

Pin the Map

Think you have it figured out? Drop a pin on the interactive map to see where you think this face is from. Is it from the Andes in South America? The Sahel in Africa? The steppes of Central Asia? Your score is based on how close your guess is.

Acquire Knowledge and Explore

EthnoGuessr will provide the accurate location and some details about the ethnic group and the area each time you guess. In addition to aiming for a higher score, you will get knowledge about human diversity!
