The "you've been to Afghanistan, I perceive" scene lives rent-free in my head. So I made a daily game out of it.

My favorite thing in the whole BBC run is the first lab scene. Sherlock looks at John for ten seconds and says "Afghanistan or Iraq?" The reasoning chain (tan line stops at the wrist, military bearing, healing limp, brother's phone) is the most addictive piece of writing in the show for me.

So I built a daily game around it. Every day there's a new photograph of a person. You write down what you observe and the deductions you can pull from it. An AI scores your reasoning and tells you what you missed. Some days I'm proud of myself, some days it points at something obvious in the background and I feel like Lestrade.

It's at dailyholmes.com Free, no signup, runs in the browser. Takes about three minutes a day.

This community knows what good deduction sounds like better than anyone. If you try it, I'd really love to hear when the AI scores something wrong or misses a deduction that was clearly there. That feedback is what's going to make the game actually good.

My favorite thing about Holmes is how he looks at ordinary things and pulls out extraordinary conclusions. The whole "I can tell your profession from your hands" thing always fascinated me. So I made a game out of it

Every day there's a new photo. You look at the person and write down your observations and deductions. The more detailed and logical your reasoning, the higher your score. AI does the scoring and also shows you what you missed.

Some days the cases are easy, some days you spot a tiny detail and go "wait, that actually means..." and it feels great.

As Holmes fans I'd really value your perspective on this.

Every day there's a new photo. You look at it and try to figure out as much as you can about the person. Their job, where they live, what's going on in their life. You pick up clues from small things like what's on their desk, the book they're reading, what's in the background.

Then you write your deductions and AI compares it to the actual answer and scores you.

Think Wordle but instead of letters you're working with observation and logic. I've been working on this solo for a while and finally put it online. Still early, still rough around the edges, but I'd love to hear what you think.

Hey everyone! Posted here about a year ago looking for beta testers. Got way more interest than I expected and then... went quiet. Sorry about that.

Good news is the game is actually done now. It's like Wordle but you get a photo to analyze instead of letters. You write your deductions, AI tells you how you did.

Biggest problem before was cases. Didn't have enough good ones. That's sorted now but I'm always looking for more. If you have a photo with clear deducible stuff (job, habits, lifestyle etc) drop it in the comments or DM me.
