Spot the One

How to play

The computer picks one of the 24 characters at random. Tap any trait from the "Ask" panel (glasses? a hat? long hair? …) and the computer answers yes or no. Flip down every character that does not match. When one face is left, click it to guess.

Tips & strategy

Always ask about the trait that is true for about half the remaining faces — that halves the pool no matter which answer you get. Do not rush to guess; a wrong guess ends the match.

Good for

• Teaches binary search and deduction.
• Family-friendly and text-only.
• Excellent first-ever "I played a board game on a computer" game.

Frequently asked questions

Are the characters real people?

No. Every face is an original, procedurally drawn avatar — no likenesses, no trademarks.

Can I play two-player?

Phase 2 ships single-player vs the computer. Local pass-and-play is on the phase 3 list.
