Peekpedia

Peekpedia asks you to recognize a Wikipedia article from its images and nothing else. The board is utterly spare: a date in the header, one large frame showing the current illustration, five small boxes aligned beneath it that indicate the reveal, a counter that displays 1 of 5, a free-text input bearing the prompt "Guess the Wikipedia article", and two buttons, Guess to submit and Skip to next image to move to the next illustration. Beneath the frame, the image credit is shown in the clear: author, license and origin Wikimedia Commons.

1. Look at the first image: no title, no caption, only the photo credit under the frame.
2. Type your guess into the “Guess the Wikipedia article” field and submit with Guess.
3. If you’re stuck, Skip to next image opens the next illustration; the counter and the five boxes under the frame track progress.
4. Continue until you find the article or the five images run out.

An image without a caption is a riddle that doesn't cheat. Peekpedia leaves you alone with your eye: recognize the style, the period, the country, then work back to the exact name of the article. The credit shown under the photo adds an almost documentary layer, as if the game invites you to investigate rather than to guess.

What the board displays at all times: the image counter out of five, the five boxes under the frame, and the current image's credit.

Dated Puzzle

One article to guess in five images, the header bearing a date.

Past puzzles

The site's description announces hundreds of past puzzles playable.

• The credit under the frame is part of the game: author name, license and Wikimedia provenance are shown plainly, and an author name sometimes points you to the answer faster than the image itself.
• Skip to next image is the only way to get another view, and there are only five in total: treat each reveal as a spend, not a reflex.
• The field expects an article title, not a description. When you recognize the subject but don't know the exact Wikipedia entry name, that's where the game is decided.
