EthnoGuessr

EthnoGuessr is a geography-based guessing game inspired by GeoGuessr, but instead of identifying real-world locations from street views, players are shown composite facial images representing average features of various ethnic groups. 

The facial averages (sourced from anthropological website Human Phenotypes) serve as clues. Players must guess the historical geographic origin of the ethnic group by selecting a location on a world map. After each guess, the game reveals the group's name, origin, and educational background, awarding points based on the accuracy of the guess. A new set of 10 ethnic groups is presented daily.

Handled insensitively, EthnoGuessr could raise concerns. Reducing complex, diverse populations to visual averages might unintentionally promote stereotyping. However, the game aims to counterbalance this by providing detailed context - including history, migration patterns, and cultural information - turning each guess into a learning opportunity.

By blending anthropology, genetics, and geography, EthnoGuessr encourages players to explore human diversity in a structured way. Still, those uncomfortable with a game based on ethnicity might prefer DoggoGuessr, a more lighthearted alternative where players identify the geographical origins of randomized dog breeds.
