Digiguessr

About Digiguessr

Digiguessr is a browser game for Digimon fans, made by a developer who goes by Destru and supported through Ko-fi. It is fan-made and has no official link to Bandai, Bandai Namco or Toei Animation. Its current look is a Time Stranger Edition, after the Digimon Story game, and it can be played in English or Spanish.

The home screen offers two modes, and each has its own Digimon of the day, the same for every player. In Classic you type the name of any Digimon and get a row of coloured cells for Generation, Attribute, Elements, Type, Base Personality and Traits: green for an exact match, orange for a partial one, red for none, and an arrow on Generation that says whether the answer is a higher or lower stage. Hints unlock as you go: the signature move after 5 tries, a description after 9 and the first letter after 14.

Digivolution Path shows part of an evolution tree with a question mark in the middle. The Digimon above it are what it evolves into and those below are what it evolves from, and you guess which Digimon sits in the gap. Here the hints are a silhouette, a description and the first letter.

Both daily puzzles change at midnight Mountain Time, and the stats panel shows how many people played today, the global average number of attempts, yesterday's answer and a countdown to the next one. There is also an Unlimited mode for practice, with its own score and streak: you start at 100 points, wrong guesses cost 3, a correct one earns 60, and hints can be bought with points.

Next to Digi-Dle, the other daily Digimon guesser, Digiguessr adds the evolution tree mode and a wider set of traits per guess. It suits anyone who has followed the anime, the card game or the video games and can tell a Rookie from a Champion.

How to play Digiguessr

1. Open digiguessr.com and choose Classic or Digivolution Path.
2. Make sure Daily is selected in the panel above the guess box.
3. In Classic, type a Digimon's name and submit it as your first guess.
4. Read the row of cells: green is an exact match, orange partial, red no match, and the Generation arrow points to the answer's stage.
5. Keep guessing with Digimon that fit the clues, and open the hints as they unlock after 5, 9 and 14 tries.
6. In Digivolution Path, look at the Digimon above and below the question mark and guess the one that evolves between them.
7. Come back after midnight Mountain Time for the next pair of puzzles.

Tips

• Start Classic with a common Rookie such as Agumon: the Generation arrow then tells you at once whether to go up or down the stages.
• A yellow Elements cell means some elements are shared, so keep the ones you saw and swap the rest.
• In Digivolution Path, a Digimon that evolves both from the lower node and into the upper one is usually the answer; use the silhouette hint when two fit.
