Motodle
Name the day's motorbike, make, model and year, in five tries.
Every day: One mystery motorbike a day, the same for everyone: name its make, model and year in five guesses from a close-up photo. New puzzle: Once a day.
Motodle shows a tight close-up of a motorbike and gives you five guesses to name its make, model and year. Each day brings a new bike, the same for every player.
About Motodle
Motodle is a daily guessing game for motorbike fans, made by Chris Wallace and shared on Show HN in 2026. Its own description is short: guess the motorbike in five tries, with a new one each day.
The round starts with a close-up photo of part of the bike, a footpeg, a frame tube, a bit of bodywork. You choose a make from a list, then a model from that make's range, and set a year with plus and minus buttons, and the table on the right records each guess in three columns: make, model and year. Five numbered tabs under the photo track your guesses, and a Give up button ends the round if you are stuck.
The photos come from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, credited on the page. There are statistics and a calendar of past days in the header.
It suits riders and anyone who can tell a bike from a single swingarm.
How to play Motodle
- Open playmotodle.com and study the close-up photo.
- Choose a make, then a model from that make.
- Set the year with the minus and plus buttons or by typing it.
- Press Guess and read how close your make, model and year were.
- Use up to five guesses to name the bike.
Tips
- Look for brand details: a frame shape, a badge edge or a distinctive part often gives away the make.
- Get the make right first; the model list narrows once it is set.
