Why this game exists

There is no single "the emoji." Apple's designs are glossy, Google's are round and friendly, Twitter's are flat geometry, Facebook's are somewhere in between, and Microsoft's practically come with a sticker outline. Most people absorb these house styles without ever noticing — this game finds out how much your eyes secretly know.

Every round shows one emoji in one platform's official artwork; you name the platform. Right answers build a streak, your best sticks to this browser, and each reveal links to the emoji's page, where all the versions sit side by side. Study the house styles first on the platform pages if you want an edge — the Microsoft rounds give themselves away once you know the trick.
