About

How rounds work, how the pot grows, and what happens if someone beats you to the answer.

Gameplay

An image gradually becomes clearer over time. Pay a bitcoin lightning fee to submit a guess about the image. If you correctly identify what the image is about, you win the current pot.

We are looking for simple answers. Answers are case insensitive, and leading articles like “a,” “an,” and “the” are ignored. Plural answers also get normalized into their singular state. For example, a guess of "an apple" or "apples" will both become "apple." You get one guess per fee paid. Wrong answers get posted publicly. Some images may accept more than one correct answer, but not every reasonable description will count.

Waiting for the image to clear can help, but you risk losing the pot to someone else. Sometimes making multiple guesses (around a certain idea) could win you the pot! Browse past rounds to see examples of valid answers and past gameplay.

Fees & Pot

Each round starts with a pot funded by the site, set at 4X the entry fee. From every guess, 40% is kept by the site, and the remaining 60% is added to the pot. If a round expires without a winner, its pot gets carried over and becomes the starting pot for the next round.

Terms

This site is in beta, so please use it at your own risk. We won’t cheat or manipulate outcomes. If a bug or error on our end causes you to lose sats, we’ll be happy to refund you. If someone submits the correct answer before your paid guess is finalized, you will get an automatic refund. If you need help, please reach out. These terms (including fees and rules) may be updated at any time.

Over 10 years ago, a game existed called ApopheniaBTC by Tritonio. I enjoyed playing it from time to time until it disappeared. Frogseer is heavily inspired by that original game. Check out the original Bitcointalk forum post about it here.
