1. Promptle — guess the prompt behind an AI image
An AI-generated image appears and you try to guess the text prompt that created it. There's a shared daily puzzle everyone plays, plus 100 levels that ramp from Starter to Prompt Master. It's part word game, part crash course in how prompts map to pictures.

Types of AI games worth knowing
- Guess-the-prompt puzzles — reverse-engineer the prompt behind AI images (like Promptle).
- Real-versus-AI tests — decide whether an image, voice or piece of text is human-made or AI (like Real or AI?).
