Draw things humans can understand, but an image recognition AI can’t!
Deviation Game is a co-op party game for 2-6 players that pits human creativity against AI perception. Flipping Alan Turing’s revolutionary 1950 Imitation Game on its head, Deviation Game encourages players to fool the AI instead of the AI trying to fool them.
In each round, one player is the drawer and the others, plus an image recognition AI, will guess. With categories from objects to concepts, the game challenges players’ creativity to draw things that will baffle the AI’s image recognition, but not their fellow humans.
Game features:
- 2-6 players can join with just one copy of the game, using your mobile browser as your controller.
- Engage with AI in a way to enhance your creativity not replace it, and create something nobody has ever seen before!
- Play locally, couch co-op style or online with friends via video call tools like Zoom.
- Hugely entertaining whether you’re drawing, guessing, or just spectating!
The creators behind the game see AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool to enhance and challenge our creative expression. Through its simple yet fun mechanic, the game encourages players to push their creativity to deviate from what the AI has already learned, sometimes resulting in some truly unique drawings.
