FoodGuessr

FoodGuessr works like a map guessing game, but the clue is a plate of food instead of a street view. Kotaku dates its release to the end of 2023, and the site is run by Laurence Pike under the FoodGuessr name. It is still growing: the site says the current artwork is a placeholder while an illustrator works on the official look.

In Classic you see a photo of a dish, a list of its ingredients and a description of how it is made. You pick a country or region from the list, and the closer you are, the more points you get, up to 5,000 for a dish. Wrong guesses give you hints, and after two misses the name of the dish is revealed. Regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan count on their own, so you need to be precise.

The daily challenge strings three games together. Classic asks where a dish is from, Cuisine Match asks you to pick the dish that belongs to a given country, and Plate-Off shows two plates and asks which one players liked more. Playing all three each day builds a super streak, and signed-in players appear on a global leaderboard. Quick Play gives you five Classic rounds whenever you like.

FoodGuessr suits people who cook, travel or read menus closely. You learn something about a cuisine every round, and the ingredient list means you can reason your way to an answer even when the dish is new to you.
