How to play

You see a photo of an aircraft. Name it as exactly as you can. The closer you get, the more you score.

A round

Look at the photo. Tap it, or the corner button, to see it full screen and zoom in.
Start typing in the box. Names, ICAO codes like B738 and nicknames like “Jumbo” all work.
Pick a suggestion and lock in before the timer runs out. If time runs out, whatever you picked is sent. Stuck? “I don’t know” moves on with 0 points.

Scoring

Every aircraft sits in a family tree: maker, family, series and type. You score for the deepest level you got right.

You got right	Example for a Boeing 737-800	Points
Exact type	Boeing 737-800	1,000
Series	Another 737 NG, like the 737-700	700
Family	Another 737, like the 737 MAX 8	450
Maker	Another Boeing, like the 757	150

Speed counts too. The round’s points start shrinking from the first second, steadily down to 50% when the clock runs out. An exact Boeing 737-800 named 6 seconds into a 60-second Daily round scores 950; at 30 seconds it scores 750. Hard mode has its own zoom bonus instead, and Lookalikes is not scaled.

In Endless and packs you can ask for a hint that shows the maker. That round then scores at most 600, and naming only the maker scores nothing.

The Daily

5 photos, the same for everyone, 60 seconds each, up to 5,000 points. A new Daily starts at midnight UTC. Pick a level: Easy has only famous airliners, Normal mixes every type, Hard is for spotters. Each level is its own puzzle with its own leaderboard, and Pro plays all three every day (free play is one level a day). Finish any of them every day to build a streak. Ties on the leaderboard go to the faster player.

Other modes

EndlessPhoto after photo with your own filters: category, region, era and difficulty. 60 seconds a photo, or turn the timer off.

Hard mode5 photos, 30 seconds each, no hints. The photo starts zoomed in on a detail and zooms out at 10 and 20 seconds. Answer early for ×1.5 or ×1.25.

Time attackOne 90-second clock. Answer as many as you can. A skip or a wrong answer costs 5 seconds.

Lookalikes10 photos, 10 seconds each. Two names people mix up; pick the right one for 100 points.

LiveryOnly the tail. Name the airline for 1,000, the same airline group for 500, the same country for 200.

AirportWhere was the photo taken? The right airport scores 1,000, and points drop with distance to 0 at 2,500 km.
