Panigma

Panigma is a guessing game made from Wikipedia. Every day at 00:00 UTC a new round of eight articles goes up, and every player gets the same eight. The home screen counts down to the next round and numbers each one, so you can tell which day you played.

Each puzzle comes in two steps. For the first 60 seconds you see only a list of the article's Wikipedia categories, gathered across languages: a painter might show up as Renaissance people, Italian inventors and People from Vinci. If that is not enough, the second step adds the article's picture from Wikimedia Commons and the initials of its title, with 40 more seconds. The counter on a puzzle starts at 100 and loses a point every second, and every right answer adds 25 points on top, so a find in the first second is worth 125 and an answer from the categories alone is worth the most. After each puzzle the game shows the article's summary, its picture credit and the share of players who found it, and a rare quick find earns a badge such as Master stroke.

The game can be played in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. When an article has no page in your language it is shown in another one and the game tells you, and a right answer in any of the six languages counts.

You can play without an account. Making one saves your scores, attaches the rounds you already played on that device, and puts you on the daily and monthly leaderboards. Past rounds can be replayed from the home screen, unranked, with your score set beside that day's results. The game is free on the web and has an Android app on Google Play.

It sits next to Catfishing, which also asks you to name an article from its categories, but Panigma adds the timer, the picture step and a full eight-puzzle round. It suits players who like broad general knowledge quizzes and reading around Wikipedia.
