Seven-second photo game: pass the phone and guess

BEAT AI · PASS THE PHONE

Make a seven-second photo puzzle

Have just one photo? Use the free crop-and-reveal puzzle maker to turn one photograph you took into a detail and a wider reveal. Or use two separate photographs below.

One object. Two of your photographs. A friend guesses the detail before the wider view appears.

Take a close-up that hides the object's outline, then a wider photograph of the same object. Choose both pictures below, press Start guessing, and pass the phone.

No detail photo selected.

No reveal photo selected.

Choose photos of objects, without private information. This game reads your selected pictures in this browser; its code does not upload or save them. Closing or reloading this page clears the selection.

Make the puzzle fair

  • Keep both photographs of the same object.
  • Make the detail sharp. If your phone will not focus, move back slightly and crop afterward.
  • Do not reveal the object name in the filename, caption or spoken introduction.
  • After the reveal, ask which detail helped your friend recognise it.

Watch the 7.5-second video example and read the photography exercise.

Original illustrated patterns, not participant photographs. Your own subject will look different. Free texture treasure h...

Three photography composition questions: space, separation and contrast

Beat AI Photography Notebook · Three visual practice questions Before taking another photograph, try noticing what changes between three simple frames. These questions explore space, overlapping edges and contrast. You can use any phone or camera afterwards; no special equipment is needed. Each question has a stated goal.
