ETHNOGUESSR is an engaging geography-based game that uses real anthropological data from humanphenotypes.net to bring you closer to the roots of human diversity. In each round, you’re shown a facial average of a male or female from a specific ethnic group, and your task is to guess their historical geographic origin using a world map.
It’s a fun and interactive way to learn about the wide spectrum of human appearance and cultural roots, all while sharpening your visual reasoning and global knowledge.
Playing ETHNOGUESSR is simple, yet surprisingly challenging:
View the face: You’ll be shown an averaged photo of either a male or female face from a specific ethnic group.
Guess the location: Click on the map to choose where you believe the group historically comes from.
Score points: The closer your guess is to the actual region, the higher your score.
Learn the facts: After each round, the game reveals the ethnic group’s name and interesting information about their origin and features.
With every guess, you learn something new — and expand your understanding of humanity’s shared and diverse roots.
