Plasticine Earth

Google Arts & Culture has used AI to turn the world into colorful dough. In this game your task is to identify famous cultural monuments around the world while turning unformed blobs of plasticine into colorful 3d models of the very same monuments.

Each game of Google Un-Dough starts with a 3D plasticine globe. To begin the game you just need to spin this globe and select the country whose monuments you wish to reveal. Once you have chosen a country you are presented with the image of a blob of colorful dough. You now have to reveal the cultural monument hidden with this plasticine blob by guessing the letters in its name.

In essence Google Un-Dough is a form of hangman which requires you to guess the names of some of the selected country's most well-known cultural monuments or buildings. Each time you guess a letter correctly the colorful blob of dough transforms a little more into the plasticine model of the monument. Each of these plasticine models has been created using generative AI. 

Guess enough letters correctly and you can move onto the next monument, however if you guess 7 letters incorrectly you lose the game.

You can find hundreds or more geography and map based games under the Maps Mania games tag.
