About This Game

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE WORLD'S CULTURES?

Guess the Origin is a fast-paced multiplayer party game that puts your cultural knowledge to the test. Each round shows you an image of a person in traditional dress, a cultural celebration, a signature dish or a handmade artifact, and the clock is running while you decide where it comes from. Three timer presets, Fast, Normal and Relaxed, let you set how much pressure you want.

THREE GAME MODES

Classic. Guess the country from four options. Points for correct answers, bonus for speed.

Similar Neighbors. The hard mode. All four options are culturally adjacent, so the easy tells do not help. Can you tell a kimono from a hanbok? A Syrian dish from a Lebanese one?

Pin the Map. No options at all. Drop a pin on the world map and score on how close you land.

PLAY TOGETHER

Challenge friends in private rooms with a shareable code, or dive into public quick match. Best of 10 rounds decides the winner. Every match ends with a cultural note revealing what you just learned.

LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY

Every correct answer unlocks a short cultural note explaining what you were looking at. From ceremonial Japanese furisode kimonos to Lebanese dabke wedding dress, leave each match a little wiser than when you started.

COLLECT THE WORLD

Playing earns XP, and every tenth level opens a sticker. There are 400 to find, five cultural objects for each of the 80 countries, in four rarities. They live on your Collection board and scatter across your main menu as you win them.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some in-game images, depicting traditional dress, festivals, food, and cultural artifacts, were created using an AI image generation pipeline (Google Gemini through an automated workflow). Every generated image was reviewed, curated, and approved by the developer before it was added to the game. No AI content is generated live during gameplay.
