Peekaboom! in your browser
Posted on April 3, 2007
Peekaboom! is somewhat like pictionary, although you don’t go about drawing pictures you want some unnamed person across the intarwebs to guess. You are actually revealing a picture click by click for a guesser.
Sure, the concept sounds easy, but you only get to reveal the pictures little by little. And I mean little. It’s like your stuck with a Photoshop eraser that is 10x too small for the amount of space you want to get rid of. And the other thing? You can’t really guess what the other person is seeing. If, for example, you are the revealer, the parts you have already revealed will turn negative. But you still see the whole picture.
On the other hand, the person “peeking” might get excessively annoyed with his revealer when he doesn’t understand what’s being revealed right away. I believe the picture on the right was “sky” and not “mountain” or “road.” This leaves your mind to some pretty crazy acrobatics, as you try to figure out what, exactly, the program wants you to guess. Sometimes, a picture for a man might need the word “guy” for the game to progress.
Fear not, though. You can pass if something proves to be too hard. Or you can supply hints in the way of telling the peeker if it’s a noun, verb, or related word. This makes the game easier, yet still challenging enough that some pictures will have you pressing that pass button. Have fun with Peekaboom!
