About Peekpedia
Peekpedia is a daily guessing game built around Wikipedia. Every day there's a new puzzle: five images, all taken from the same Wikipedia article. Your job is to figure out which one.
Images are revealed one at a time. You get five attempts — one per image — and the earlier you guess correctly, the better your result.
Puzzles reset at midnight UTC. Everyone in the world plays the same puzzle on the same day.
How to play
- An image from today's Wikipedia article appears at the top of the page.
- Type your guess and submit, or skip to see the next image.
- After five wrong guesses (or skips), the answer is revealed along with all five images.
Who made this
I'm Luke, and I built Peekpedia because I wanted a daily game that nudged me toward Wikipedia rabbit holes I'd never otherwise find. It's a solo project I work on in the evenings. If you have feedback, a bug, or a puzzle topic suggestion: peekpedia@protonmail.com — I read every message.
Support Peekpedia
Peekpedia is free to play, but it costs real money to run — hosting, image bandwidth, and the database add up each month. If you'd like to help keep it going, you can support it here. Thanks to everyone who already has :)
Sharing the game with someone who might enjoy it helps just as much!
