Guess The User is an out-of-context trivia and deduction puzzle game inspired by Wordle. Players are given an isolated message excerpt from a Discord server's history and must deduce which server member originally sent it within 5 attempts.
Yes, Guess The User is 100% free to play. There are no paywalls or subscription barriers. Supporters who wish to contribute toward hosting costs can voluntarily purchase a coffee via Buy Me a Coffee to disable ads permanently.
Absolutely! The game comes equipped with pre-bundled public demo datasets and custom challenge links created by other players so you can start guessing immediately without importing any files.
No. We do not operate persistent databases storing chat logs or message history. All file imports (such as DiscordChatExporter JSON files) are parsed 100% client-side inside your web browser using HTML5 IndexedDB. Your personal server messages never touch our hard drives or cloud databases.
No. Datasets are strictly isolated by Server/Guild ID. Quotes from your server cannot be queried, discovered, or seen by players from any other community unless you deliberately export and share a specific round link with them.
Our companion bot listens to real-time Discord gateway messageDelete events. When a message is deleted on Discord, it is immediately purged from active memory and gameplay queues. Server members can also run /forget-me to erase all quotes authored by them at any time.
If you guess a user who is not the author of the target quote, but who sent one of the other messages in the 5-message conversation log, your guess card turns amber (Yellow). This immediately reveals their message in the log with their real avatar and rewards a +10 point bonus on subsequent successful guesses!
When you unlock a Yellow Chatter who is located 2 messages away (e.g. index -2), any sandwiched message in between that hasn't yet been unlocked by normal clue frame progression is shown as blurred and locked. It will unblur once that attempt frame is reached.
Every 24 hours at midnight UTC, a new deterministic seed selects 3 synchronized challenge rounds. Every member of your server who opens the Daily Challenge plays the exact same quotes, allowing friendly leaderboard competition.
Yes! Our companion bot supports Discord's official Embedded App SDK. Simply run /play in your server to launch the Guess The User Discord Activity directly inside your voice channel for seamless desktop and mobile play.
In Co-Op Mode, all players in the voice channel collaborate on a shared board with a unified pool of strikes. In Compete Mode, each player guesses independently on their own board in a race for maximum points and leaderboard ranking.
You can use the open-source DiscordChatExporter to export your text channels in JSON format. Then click "Load Server Data" → "Upload JSON" in the game. The browser will parse the messages locally in seconds.
