What is BRAIAIN?

BRAIAIN is a free daily game that tests your ability to tell real photographs from AI-generated images. Think of it as training your eye for the age of AI — like a daily workout for your visual instincts.

Every day at midnight, a new challenge drops with a fresh set of images. Everyone plays the same challenge, so you can compare your score with friends and the global community.

How do I play?

Each challenge has 10 rounds. In each round, you see one image and must decide: is it a real photograph or an AI-generated fake?

Tap your answer. You'll get instant feedback — a green flash for correct, red for wrong. After each reveal, a Pro Tip explains what telltale signs to look for, helping you get better over time.

No signup, no accounts, no cost. Just play.

What's the magnifying lens for?

When you're inspecting an image, a magnifying lens lets you zoom in on details. On desktop, hover over the image. On mobile, press and hold to activate the lens and drag to inspect.

This is where the real detective work happens — zoom into hands, text, reflections, and edges. AI often breaks down in the fine details.

How does scoring work?

Your score is simply how many of the 10 rounds you got correct. A perfect game is 10/10.

After you finish, you'll see your result displayed in a ring chart with a rating:

10/10 — PERFECT · You see through everything.
9/10 — NEAR PERFECT · Almost flawless detection.
7-8/10 — SHARP EYE · Solid instincts.
5-6/10 — ROOM TO GROW · Keep training.
Below 5 — COMPROMISED · The AI got you this time.

What are streaks?

Your streak counts consecutive days you've played. Come back every day to keep it alive — miss a day and it resets to zero.

Your best streak tracks your all-time longest run. The 🔥 icon shows your current streak is active.

What do the pip dots at the top mean?

The row of small dots in the HUD (header bar) tracks your progress through the current challenge:

Correct answer
Wrong answer
Not yet played

These same dots appear on your results screen after finishing the challenge.

What does the 👥 percentage on each image mean?

After you complete a challenge, you'll see a community accuracy percentage on each image in the Mission Debrief section. This shows what percentage of all players correctly identified that specific image.

For example, 👥 89% means most players spotted it — that image was relatively easy to classify. 👥 34% means that image fooled most people.

These stats update in real time as more people play. They're anonymous — we don't track who you are, just aggregate correct/incorrect tallies per image.

What's the community accuracy bar during gameplay?

After you answer each round, a small bar appears showing the global accuracy for that round — how the community is performing on that specific image.

The color tells you at a glance:

70%+ got it right
40-69% got it right
Under 40% — most people were fooled
What does the resistance counter mean?

The resistance counter shows the total number of players who have participated in today's challenge. It's a global count of everyone who has completed at least one round.

Think of it as proof you're not alone — other people around the world are testing their instincts right alongside you.

Where do the images come from?

Every daily challenge is hand-curated. We don't auto-generate content or pull random images.

Real photographs are sourced from professional photographers via stock photo libraries. Each image is verified as an authentic, unmanipulated photograph.

AI images are generated specifically for each challenge using state-of-the-art AI image generation models. They're crafted to match the theme of the day and to be genuinely challenging to identify.

What are Pro Tips?

After each round reveals the answer, a Pro Tip appears explaining what visual clues could help you identify that specific image. These tips cover things like:

Unnatural hand anatomy · Inconsistent shadows · Too-perfect symmetry · Garbled text and signage · Suspicious reflections · Skin texture oddities · Background repetition artifacts

Over time, these tips train you to instinctively notice the patterns that distinguish real photographs from AI fakes — a skill that's increasingly valuable in everyday life.

Does everyone get the same challenge?

Yes. Every player sees the exact same 10 images in the same order each day. This makes scores directly comparable and means the community accuracy stats reflect a true shared experience.

A new challenge drops every day at midnight UTC. Yesterday's challenge moves to the Mission Debrief archive.

Will there be content beyond images?

Images are just the beginning. Future challenges will rotate through categories including writing, code, reviews, and other content types where AI is increasingly hard to distinguish from human output.

The goal is to sharpen your detection instincts across every medium — not just visual.

How do I share my score?

After completing a challenge, you'll see two buttons:

📋 COPY — Copies a spoiler-free text summary to your clipboard (like Wordle's share format). Paste it anywhere — group chats, social media, wherever.

𝕏 SHARE — Opens a pre-filled post on X (Twitter) with your score.

The shared format shows your result grid (✓ and ✗ for each round) without revealing which images were real or AI, so it won't spoil the challenge for others.

Do you track my data?

Your game data (scores, streaks, progress) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. It never leaves your device.

When you submit an answer, we send an anonymous correct/incorrect tally to our backend to calculate community stats. We don't track who you are, use cookies for advertising, or sell any data. There are no accounts and no logins.

What if I clear my browser data?

Since your scores and streaks live in your browser's localStorage, clearing your browser data will reset your stats. There's currently no cloud sync or account system to recover them.

This is the tradeoff for zero-friction, anonymous play.

Can I use BRAIAIN for my team or organization?

BRAIAIN was built as a public tool for AI literacy, but we're open to conversations about licensing, partnerships, white-label integration, or acquisition with the right organization.

If you're a newsroom, edtech company, media platform, or anyone building AI literacy programs — we should talk.
