Guess-the-Google

May 11, 2005

Wow, this is a fun game! If you use the web much, you’ve probably used Google Image Search. You put in a search term, and out pops images from all over the web related to that search term. Sometimes the images are very directly realted, sometimes they are indirectly related, and sometimes they don’t seem related at all.

So some guy made a Flash game which does a random Google image search, pulls the photos, then lets you guess what the search term was (with a time limit). Pretty fun! It’s more interesting if you use Google Image Search a lot (and I do). I’m not sure where the search terms come from; I was a bit surprised by some of them. One was “bling” and one was “Sydney.” There were two I didn’t get. My first score was 202. Go play!
