About TCGuessr

What is TCGuessr?

TCGuessr is a browser-based Magic: The Gathering guessing game. Every round you see a real MTG card with one part covered by a black box — the name, mana cost, type line, rules text, power/toughness, artist, set symbol, or the artwork itself — and you pick the right answer from four options. It's a fast way to test how well you actually know the cards you've been shuffling for years.

How it works

• Create a room or join one with a short code.
• Up to a full pod can play together; spectators (a shared TV, for example) can watch without answering.
• Each round is 60 seconds. The faster you answer correctly, the more points.
• At the end, a leaderboard shows who really knows their Magic trivia.

Difficulty levels

• Easy — recent, recognizable cards; only the six most obvious question types.
• Moderate — broader card pool up to ~15 years old, including rarity and set questions.
• Hard — every card in the eligible pool, and distractors are drawn from cards released within five years of the correct answer.
• Insane — narrow two-year distractor window, artist questions are in play, and several regions are hidden at once. For masochists only.

The Daily Quiz

Every day at midnight UTC a fresh set of ten hard-difficulty questions is generated. Everyone plays the same questions, so scores are directly comparable. The daily is a solo race — perfect for a quick pre-FNM warmup.

Question types

TCGuessr currently supports nine question types: card name, mana cost, type line, rules text, power/toughness, artwork, artist, set, and rarity. Each one hides a different piece of the card — you'll need to lean on different clues depending on what's missing.
