Rekog Rules

Rekog is a fun and engaging image recognition game that challenges your visual perception skills. These rules apply across all game modes (Daily Play, Solo Play, and Team Play). For information on how to play each mode, visit the How to Play page.

Basic Scoring Rules

The core principle of scoring in Rekog is simple: each word in the correct answer is worth 1 point. This applies across all game modes.

  • •Word-by-Word Scoring: Points are awarded for each word you get right in the correct position, even if your complete answer isn't perfect.
  • •Spelling Matters: Words must be spelled correctly to earn points.
  • •Flexible Spaces: Spaces between words don't matter.
  • •Punctuation Ignored: Punctuation and special characters are ignored when scoring.

Scoring Examples

Correct Answer: "Dragon Fruit"

  • • "Dragon Fruit" = ✅ 2 points (perfect match)
  • • "Dragon" = ✅ 1 point (partial credit)
  • • "Dragon Fruits" = ✅ 1 point (partial credit)
  • • "Dragon Frut" = ✅ 1 point (misspelled "Fruit")
  • • "Purple Fruit" = ✅ 1 point (partial credit for "Fruit")
  • • "Dragonfru" = ❌ 0 points (not matching any word)
  • • "Fruit Dragon" = ❌ 0 points (words in wrong order)

Attempts and Gameplay Limits

  • •Three Attempts: In both Daily Play and Solo Play modes, you have 3 attempts to correctly identify each image.
  • •Feedback After Each Attempt: After each guess, you'll receive visual feedback showing which words are correct, which are in the wrong position, and which are incorrect.
  • •Hints Available: If you're stuck, you can use the hint button to get a clue about the image.

🔥Daily Play Scoring

  • •Streak Counting: Your streak increases by 1 each day you correctly identify the daily image.
  • •Complete Answers: You must get all words correct to add to your streak.
  • •Streak Reset: Missing a day or failing to identify the image breaks your streak.

🎮Solo Play Scoring

  • •Multiple Images: Play through a set of diverse recognition challenges.
  • •Cumulative Scoring: Your points accumulate across all images in the set.
  • •Personal Record: Track your progress and try to beat your own high score.

👥Team Play Challenge Rounds Rules

After 10 regular rounds, Team Play can include optional Challenge Rounds with special wagering rules:

  • •Wager Points: Teams bet points from their current score.
  • •Wagering Style: Teams choose 'Blind' (before seeing the image) or 'Informed' (after seeing the image) wagering style.
  • •All or Nothing: Only complete correct answers earn wagered points.
  • •Risk and Reward: Incorrect answers lose the wagered points.

Advanced Rules

  • •Case Insensitive: Upper/lower case doesn't affect scoring (e.g., "dragon fruit" = "Dragon Fruit").
  • •Word Order Matters: Words must be in the correct order to count.
  • •Singular/Plural Distinction: Plural forms are considered different words (e.g., "fruit" ≠ "fruits").
  • •Extra Words: Additional words beyond the correct answer don't affect scoring of correct words.

Fair Play Guidelines

  • 💡Hidden Answers: In Team Play, keep your answers hidden from other teams until the reveal.
  • 💡Quiet Discussion: Keep team discussions quiet to avoid giving away answers.
  • 💡No Device Use: Unless specified, avoid using devices to search for answers.
  • 💡Good Sportsmanship: Celebrate creative answers and keep the game fun for everyone.
