Can You Identify These Games from One Screenshot?

You might think you know your games—but how well can you recognize them from a single, cropped, or pixelated screenshot? This quiz will put your visual memory and genre familiarity to the test.

How It Works

Each question presents a snippet or partial view of a game. It might be:

  • A section of the HUD
  • A unique background asset
  • A pixelated character sprite
  • A lighting effect or menu design

You’ll be given multiple-choice answers. One is correct, but a few will be convincing decoys—especially if you’ve played across genres.

Categories Included
