About ETHNOGUESSR
EthnoGuessr is a one-of-a-kind browser-based quiz game that fuses facial recognition with cultural geography. Created for curious minds, educators, and trivia fans alike, EthnoGuessr lets players guess the ethnic or regional origin of facial composites—AI-generated images based on aggregated features of specific population groups. It’s more than a guessing game: it's a deep dive into the diversity of humanity and a tool that encourages players to reflect on global ancestry, genetic drift, and the nuances of appearance shaped by geography and history.
Unlike games that focus on cities or landmarks, EthnoGuessr freshly trains your observational skills, challenging you to connect facial traits to regions around the world. Each round opens a window into the human story, helping players explore differences and similarities without stereotypes. Its educational approach makes it useful in classrooms and cultural studies, while its daily challenge structure keeps it fun and competitive.
Guess Global Roots Through Faces
EthnoGuessr flips the script on traditional geography games by putting faces front and center. You’ll be surprised how much you can learn from subtle features that reflect centuries of migration, adaptation, and ancestry.
