FOR THE LOVE OF CARS

A familiar shape.
A name on the tip of your tongue.

That is the feeling behind CarGuess. A pair of headlights can bring back a childhood poster. A roofline can remind you of a car that used to pass your street. You do not need a dream garage to enjoy spotting the details.

CarGuess is an independent photo guessing game. Choose Easy for familiar icons, Medium for less obvious models or Hard for unusual cars. Each difficulty has a daily car, five attempts and useful clues. No sign-up, no timer while you guess, and no need to know production figures by heart. Just look, think, and take your shot.

How to play

  1. Choose a difficulty and look at the photograph. Logos and model markings stay blurred even in the enlarged view.
  2. Search for a make or model and choose an answer from the collection.
  3. Press Guess. Green checks show a matching country, make or model; grey crosses show a mismatch.
  4. After two attempts, the car’s country appears. After three, its era. After four, the make.
  5. Find the model in five guesses to win. A skip counts as an attempt.

Country means the marque’s country of origin, not the place where an individual car was assembled. Era describes the car generation pictured. The game accepts the make and model in the answer list; you do not have to identify an exact engine or trim.

One daily ritual, as many extra laps as you like

Each difficulty has a daily challenge that changes at 00:00 UTC and is the same for every player at that level. Your win rate, completed games and consecutive winning days are saved in this browser. Free drive chooses another car within your selected difficulty and does not change daily statistics. Progress and daily statistics are separate for Easy, Medium and Hard.

The launch collection includes 600 cars. Daily challenges rotate through this collection, so photos will eventually repeat. The garage lets you browse the collection and practise recognising the details. It contains answers, so save it for after your daily attempt.

Photos with a source

Every photograph has a recorded author, source and reuse licence. You can inspect those details on our photo credits page. The entire photograph is displayed during play; the expand button opens a larger view. Manufacturer and model markings are obscured in both views. CarGuess is not affiliated with or endorsed by any car manufacturer.
