What is Zoomed In?
An image starts extremely close up and pulls back over the round. The earlier you identify it, the more it is worth — so every second you wait for certainty costs you points.
It is a pure energiser: five minutes, no setup, no explanation, and it works brilliantly shared on screen during a big call.

Example subjects
A photo opens far too close to identify and pulls back across the round. The earlier you call it, the more it is worth:
- A ginger cat — usually guessed around the halfway point
- A golden retriever wearing sunglasses
- A penguin on an ice floe — the ice gives it away well before the bird does
- A llama looking over a fence
- An owl in a tree
When to run Zoomed In
A five-minute energiser
No setup, no rules to explain, no reading. It is the shortest game here and the one that needs the least from the host.
A big call where someone is already sharing a screen
It is the most watchable game in the catalogue — the whole room reacting to the same slowly-resolving image is the point, so it works as a shared-screen moment as well as on individual devices.
A room that will not stop guessing
Wrong guesses cost nothing but time, so the chat fills with increasingly desperate theories until somebody realises the mysterious orange landscape is a cat.
Zoomed In questions
Do players need an account or a download?
No. Only the host needs a Fun Friday account. Everyone else joins from any browser with a 6-character room code and a display name — no app, no install, no IT ticket.
What happens if you guess wrong?
You can keep guessing as the image zooms out — but the value of the round drops the longer it takes, so an early wrong guess costs you the premium.
