How racist are you?
A face appears. Drop a pin where they were born.
The closer you get, the worse it looks.
How it works
What is this game?
A photo of a real person appears and you drop a pin on the world map where you think they were born. You see their real birthplace and how many kilometres you were off. After five faces you get a verdict, from “not even racist” to “clinically racist”.
Can you really tell where someone was born from their face?
No, not reliably — and that's the point. People move, families mix, and a face carries far less information than we like to think. Most players end up thousands of kilometres off on average. A good score doesn't prove anything about you, it's a joke about how confident we are in our own snap judgements.
Is there a daily challenge?
Yes. Every day everyone gets the same five faces, with one try and 30 seconds per face. You can share your result as coloured squares without spoiling the answers, and compare with friends.
Can I play with friends?
Send a challenge link after any game: your friend gets the exact same faces and sees your score to beat. Or play free play with up to six players passing one phone.
Who are the people in the photos?
About 1,800 real people from over 170 countries, picked from Wikidata so that none of them are famous enough to recognise. Every photo comes from Wikimedia Commons under a free licence and is credited on the credits page, where anyone can also have their photo removed.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no leaderboard. Your games, best scores and daily streak are saved in your own browser only.
Faces and birthplaces come from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. Nobody can really tell where someone was born from a face — that's the joke.
