Pixeal
Uncover a hidden pixel picture colour by colour and name it as early as you can.
Every day: One hidden pixel picture a day on a board everyone shares: reveal pixels colour by colour and name the picture with as little of it drawn as you can. New puzzle: Midnight; the site does not say in which time zone.

Pixeal is a daily picture puzzle on a shared board. A pixel picture is hidden under the day's board, and players uncover it by placing colours, which cost energy. Your score is how much of the picture was drawn when you named it, so lower is better, and whatever is still hidden is revealed at midnight.
About Pixeal
Pixeal hides one pixel picture a day under a board that every player shares. You pick a colour and place pixels; where the colour matches the hidden picture, that part shows up for everyone. Each pixel costs energy, so you cannot uncover everything yourself, and the board fills in as players around the world work out its colours together.
The aim is to name the picture as early as you can. When you guess correctly, the game records how much of the picture had been drawn at that moment, and that share is your score: lower is better. Naming it early earns a big bonus, the first player to name it is credited, and there are combo bonuses for placing pixels in a streak. Whatever is still hidden at midnight is revealed automatically, and the next picture starts.
Naming the day's picture keeps your daily streak going. Beyond the daily board you can create your own round by drawing a picture and naming it for friends to guess.
Pixeal suits players who like picture reveals and a little cooperative play, with a score you can compare against everyone else on the same board.

Tips
- Look at the colours already found by others before spending energy; the shape may already be clear.
- Guess early: naming it with less drawn gives a better score and a bonus.
- Try colours that are likely for the subject, such as greens and browns for nature or skin tones for faces.
- Name the picture every day to keep your streak alive.
