on archiguesser.com
ArchiGuesser shows you a photo of one architectural project each day and asks you to name it. Each miss or skip reveals another picture, up to six, with a hint after three tries. You can replay past days and take on extra challenges by architect, country or style.
About ArchiGuesser
ArchiGuesser is a daily guessing game for architecture fans, running since July 2022. Each day one project is picked from a curated list, from ancient temples to contemporary buildings, and you see it one photo at a time. Every photo is credited to its photographer.
You search for your answer by building name, architect or place and pick it from the suggestions. A wrong guess or a skip reveals the next picture; you have six in all, and after three tries the game adds a hint. When the day is done the game shares a result line with the puzzle number and links to more reading about the building.
A replay page lists every past day with a thumbnail, so you can catch up on days you missed. The trophy page offers extra challenges on an architect (Zaha Hadid, Le Corbusier, Renzo Piano), a country or a style like brutalism or modernism. Players can suggest projects to add, with credit if they wish, and an optional account keeps your stats across devices. The game is open source and has no ads.
It suits architecture students and anyone who notices buildings on their travels, and players of Framed who want buildings instead of films.

Tips
- Identify the style first: brutalist concrete, glass curtain walls and classical columns each point to a different era.
- Signature forms often give away the architect even when the building is unfamiliar.
- A close-up of a detail is often followed by a wider view, so a skip can be worth more than a wild guess.
- Use the extra challenges to learn one architect's work at a time.
