Guess the Eyes is a free daily puzzle in which each day a single celebrity is hidden behind a tight crop on one eye. Players start with an extreme close-up and get up to six attempts to name the person. After each incorrect guess or pass, the image zooms out, revealing more of the face and making identification easier.
The game draws its celebrity images from Wikimedia Commons and selects subjects using Wikipedia and Wikidata. Everyone worldwide sees the same daily puzzle, which refreshes each day at midnight Paris time.

How to play Guess the Eyes
- Open Guess the Eyes and view the zoomed-in image showing only one eye.
- Type the name of a celebrity you think matches the eye and submit your guess.
- If your guess is incorrect or you skip, the image will zoom out a bit and you may try again.
- From the second wrong guess onward you will also receive an additional hint to help identification.
- Continue guessing until you identify the celebrity or reach the sixth attempt when the face is nearly whole.
- Share your score with friends using the built-in sharing option without revealing the answer.
Tips for Guess the Eyes
- Start by noting distinctive eye features such as eyebrow shape, makeup, wrinkles, or skin tone to narrow down likely candidates.
- Use the zoom-out progression strategically: if the first guess is uncertain, a skip can reveal more context without wasting an obviously wrong name.
- Remember the game uses public-domain images from Wikimedia Commons, so celebrities with well-documented photos on Wikimedia projects are likelier to appear.
- Compare results with friends since everyone gets the same daily puzzle; shared discussion can help you learn which features are most revealing.
