What animal is this?
How it works
- The shadow is a real animal emoji with its colour taken away. The shape is all you get.
- 4 names are offered, drawn from the same family as the answer: a boar comes up against a pig, not a whale.
- A right answer is 100 points, and 3 in a row add 25 to each one after.
- The colour comes back after you answer, right or wrong, and the round moves on by itself. 15 animals a round.
Controls
- Click or tap 1 of the 4 names.
- Keys 1 to 4 pick the option in that position; Tab walks them, Space or Enter picks one.
- R starts a new round.
Why a silhouette
In colour, most animal emoji give themselves away before you have read them: the stripes are a tiger, the black and white is a panda. Flattened to a shadow, all that is left is the shape, and the shape is where the designs differ least. The decoys come from the same family as the answer, so the four names under a hoofed outline are all hoofed.
Nothing leaves the tab
The silhouette is the emoji your own device draws, darkened by a style rule. There are no pictures behind the game, and your best is remembered by this browser and nowhere else.
