I made this game with a friend. We’re interested in your feedback!
Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was “microwave”. Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because “microwave oven” was not accepted.
Even saying “oven” as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove
Well actually…
An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.
A range is the burner portion.
A stove is a combination of the two.
Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they’re often used interchangeably
I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.
I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…
Edit: There was an update to make it more lenient. Too lenient imo.
That’s weird, it accepted “microwave oven” from me just now. My last two questions were:
Is it some kind of oven? 👍
Is it a microwave oven? Yep you got it!
Edit: looks like they implemented a fix for this
It said that it wasn’t bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.
Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.
Lol I asked the same question
Y’all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit
I’m hesitant to say that the current word is a bad choice, but it feels far too specific to me. I’m curious what questions one could ask after finding out that it’s a type of f___ that would lead to the exact type of f___ that it is.
Again, I’m hesitant to criticize the decision, because it’s entirely possible that I’m just dumb and gave up too soon
I’d rate this one “black diamond” level for sure.

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn’t figure out how to pin down a specific species.
I feel the same way to be honest, with the current question I did it all the way through and I was at odds end of what I could ask it aside from just straight out asking if it’s a specific type, third question in was the exact one that you spoilered out and yet I wasn’t even able to get a general ballpark of what it was in the next 17 questions.
I thought it was broken, because I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes… And then nothing. Just a bit confusing to people who don’t understand AI and fuzzy answers.
Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a “microwave oven” instead of just a microwave, it didn’t count as correct until I asked “is it a microwave?” for my last question
We’ve implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard (“raccoon” vs “racoon”), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.
I had fun anyway, and ain’t playing competitively. Long as I know I got it right, I’m happy!
I got a no for can you hold it so I was sure it was a normal oven. You can definitely hold a microwave they’re not that big 🤣
I got a yes for can you carry it…
This is interesting. I’d like to see more words.
i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so…
Yeah I don’t think anyone realized that everyone got the same word. Can’t blame em for babbling about it, but it’s a major bummer because now I’m obviously not going to play.
try it today! quite fun.
Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍
I asked “is it famous?” 👍
I asked “is it in North America?” 👎
It was an oven lol.
Actually the lastest one isn’t an oven as the final answer. My wife asked that and was like, “so why isn’t it over??”
This was my exact experience and I couldn’t figure out how to make it end. Was I supposed to guess which brand? Or was it something picky like a microwave oven?
It was ”microwave”. Which, technically is an oven, which is why it answers yes to that.
Wow I didn’t realize it wasn’t over yet, thanks for the heads up. I’m still a little salty about some of the answers though :)

Oooh this is a cool concept, thanks for sharing! I’ll add it to my rotation of stuff to play on my conmute.
I threw some weird questions here and there to see if it had issues, it didn’t know how to answer either of these:
-Does its name start with a vowel?
-Does its name have less than ten letters?Although that might have been due to my clumsy wording.
LLMs tend to perform poorly with questions about linguistic characteristics of words. We have tuned responses to gently discourage questions like that. We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game. :)
Glad you enjoy it!
I asked the same question (does it start with a vowel) and agree that it shouldn’t answer even if it could but I have a suggestion: use a different emoji than the “I don’t know” one to mean “that’s kinda cheating”
We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game.
Hehehehehehe that is true, I’ll play fair instead of trying to see what it lets me get away with. Well, most days at least.
Haven’t tried using llm for this kind of stuff so it’s very interesting to see where its limits lie
There’s a cool one called chronogram that has an AI pretending to be an historical figure. You basically have a conversation to figure out who they are. It’s pretty cool, but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer
but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer
Aaagh I saw, what a shame. Sounds like a cool concept, but I can’t be arsed to sign up with my Google or Discord accounts for a daily thing even if it gave a free budgie
Those don’t live in Europe or Africa? Huh.
Nice. I got 17 and I would debate the size of that versus a bread box. Still got pretty much everything else right

Looks like it doesn’t let you cheat by asking two questions at once! It works just fine if you ask it if it’s an animal.
Is it an animal / human? 👎
I think it didn’t handle the “/” here very well. I’ve made a change to hopefully improve the outcome of that in the future.
Cheers! I wasn’t sure whether if would recognise human as a mammal i.e. animal, hence the “/”. Will have another go another day! :)

I got 17 and I think it was a bat, but I don’t know because once I answered bat, the game quickly threw me to the main screen with no feedback, but it definitely wasn’t my last question.
Server resets at 00:00 UTC. If you had the page open before that time and tried to ask a question, it refreshes the page so that the server isn’t (unbeknownst to you) suddenly answering questions about a different word. We’ll try to add something to handle that transition better in the future. Sorry about that!
