GLITCHGUESS

Product Introduction

1. GLITCHGUESS is an AI-powered 20-questions game where players either hide an absurd secret for the AI to guess or attempt to uncover the AI’s hidden concept within 20 yes/no/sometimes questions.
2. The core value lies in its chaotic human-AI interaction framework, blending deductive gameplay with a glitch-themed visual interface that intensifies errors, creating a tension between logical deduction and unpredictable system behavior.

Main Features

1. The game offers dual asymmetric modes: players challenge the AI by selecting hidden targets from predefined categories, or the AI generates abstract concepts for players to guess, enforcing strict 20-question limits with yes/no/sometimes responses.
2. A curated category system ensures fairness by restricting choices to 14 common domains like Animals, Video Games, and Famous Landmarks, preventing overly niche or subjective entries that could break the guessing algorithm.
3. Dynamic reality-glitching mechanics escalate visual distortions and interface malfunctions with incorrect guesses, using CSS animations and procedural SVG disruptions to simulate system collapse during gameplay.

Problems Solved

1. Addresses the lack of AI-powered guessing games with balanced human-machine adversarial roles, solving the problem of repetitive or predictable 20-questions implementations through asymmetric rule sets.
2. Targets casual gamers and AI interaction enthusiasts seeking quick, chaotic sessions (3-7 minutes) rather than prolonged strategic commitments, optimized for mobile-first browsers.
3. Serves as a stress-test tool for AI deduction models, with use cases including multiplayer tournaments, streamer content creation, and educational experiments in machine logic limitations.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiates from standard 20Q games through bidirectional human-AI role switching and penalty-based glitch escalation mechanics that alter UI functionality, unlike static question-answer interfaces.
2. Implements category-weighted AI probability matrices that prioritize common associations (e.g., "pizza" over "katsuobushi" in Food) while allowing rare answers through player persistence, balancing fairness and creativity.
3. Competes via proprietary "chaos scoring" algorithms that dynamically adjust AI guess aggression based on remaining question count and player response patterns, unavailable in open-source alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What categories can I choose for the AI to guess? You must select from 14 predefined categories like Vehicles or Musicians & Bands, which are optimized for the AI’s training data and ensure answer accuracy within 20 questions.
2. Can two human players compete directly? The 1v1 multiplayer mode requires one player to set a challenge while the other guesses, with the AI acting as referee and glitch-effects controller rather than enabling PvP without AI mediation.
3. How does the AI handle obscure answers within allowed categories? The system uses frequency-based fallback protocols, first attempting common associations before exploring rare entries if player responses contradict high-probability guesses.
4. What happens if I input overly specific answers? The game warns about "reality instability" through interface glitches and may auto-reset if the AI detects unguessable targets, enforcing category guidelines without manual moderation.
5. Are incorrect guesses permanently destructive to the game? Glitch effects reset with each new session, though repeated failures in a single round can trigger temporary UI obstructions like inverted controls or scrambled text until game conclusion.
