Make a Guess is the new social game for Android and iPhone. The free app
allows users to apply various effects on pictures, in order to disguise the
subject in the photo . The edited image is then shared by means of social media,
and friends and family need to guess what’s in the picture.
It’s possible to share the best moments in life just by pressing a button.
Every day, loads of pictures are uploaded to Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp.
Convenient to keep track of everyone's activities, but just watching pictures
eventually becomes boring. The new Make a Guess app therefore provides photo
sharing with a surprising game element.
Make a Guess allows users to add a bit of mystery to everyday images. The
idea is simple: take a picture, or open your library and select a snapshot that
you took earlier. Then you can add an effect, so the person or object in the
picture is masked. From within the app you can share the edited image through
Twitter, Facebook or other social media channels. It’s up to your friends and
family to guess what you have photographed.
There are various effects available to cover the subject in your picture. You
can make the game as difficult, subtle or funny as you want. You can hide your
sister’s Chihuahua behind a layer of hearts, make just one certain part of a car
visible, or only show your sleeping father’s eye. The colours of the layers are
yours to pick. In total there are five different effects. The first two, Bubbles
and Layers, are free. You can buy three other effects (Eraser, Puzzle and
Figures) for 99 cents.
There are lots of possibilities to mask your
picture, so every game is unique. You can therefore continue to provide all your
Facebook and Twitter friends with fresh challenges. The free app for iPhone and
Android is developed by DTT Multimedia (responsible for popular apps like
Scoupy, Dragonfly and Ajax1) and is now available in the App Store and through
Google Play.
