How to play

Tap any of the four mode cards to enable or disable it, then press Start. Each round draws 10 questions from your selected modes. Pick one of the four choices before the timer hits zero.

Scoring

Every correct answer is worth 100 points plus a speed bonus — the faster you answer, the more you earn (up to +90 per question). Max score on a perfect speed run is 1900.

Tips

Skim the emoji first for category (food, animal, action), then read distractors to triangulate. For idioms, the answer is a fixed phrase — not a literal translation.

About the emoji quiz

The four modes are not random — they each test a different decoding skill. Description mode trains you to read English precisely, Word mode trains emoji-to-meaning lookup, Movie mode tests cultural literacy across cinema, and Idiom mode is the hardest: you must map a pictogram to a fixed phrase in a language you may not speak fluently. This game is a multilingual take on the classic "guess the emoji" puzzle. Instead of a single category, we mix four modes so a round can swing from a one-emoji description to a four-character Chinese idiom, from a Hollywood film to a Korean proverb — all in the same 10 questions.

The quiz offers four modes: description-to-emoji, emoji-to-word, emoji-to-movie, and emoji-to-idiom. Emoji appearance can vary by device, so check the displayed question on your own screen.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a round take?

A standard round has 10 questions. The timer on each question shows how much time remains; total time depends on how quickly you answer.

Does the game track my score across devices?

No. Scores are stored in your browser’s localStorage and stay on this device. We never send quiz results to a server, and clearing your browser data clears the leaderboard.

Why are some idioms in Chinese / Japanese / Korean?

Idiom mode leans on East Asian four-character phrases (成语 / 四字熟語 / 사자성어) because the emoji-to-proverb translation has the highest signal-to-noise ratio. We also include a few English proverbs. Pick the modes you want in the intro screen to skip what you do not want.
