Hue-miliation
Game Overview
Think you know colors? Think again. Memorize a hue, guess it on the wheel, and prepare to be roasted by a sassy AI. A fast color memory challenge for the bold.
How to Play
Memorize the center color box. When you're ready, tap to mask it. Find and click the exact matching hue on the color wheel. The AI will judge your accuracy with varying degrees of sass and roast your performance.
About Hue-miliation
Hue-miliation was born from a stupid argument with Josie about whether she could remember a specific shade of teal for ten seconds. She could not. Neither could I. It turns out human colour memory is genuinely bad â we hold rough categories ("greenish blue") but the precise hue degrades fast. The game weaponises that, then a sarcastic little AI commentary line roasts you for it. The roasting is the part the kids love and the part my wife thinks is mean. They're both correct.
To actually score well: look at the hue's relationship to colours you already know, not the raw colour. Telling yourself "it's just past pure cyan, slightly toward green" sticks much better than trying to memorise the colour itself. When you click the wheel, your finger wants to pull toward primary colours â fight that pull, the answer is almost never on a pure spoke. Also, the wheel doesn't reset between rounds, so memory of where you missed last time genuinely helps.
About the roasting
The snarky AI lines are all written by hand from a categorised pool â there's no live model in the loop here. I tried to keep them this side of actually mean. If anything ever crosses the line, please ping us via the contact form and we'll yank it. If you like quick perception challenges, DidUSeeIt? is the photo-memory cousin to this hue-memory game.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the colour box hide when I tap it?
That's the test â you have to commit to a guess from memory. If the original stayed on screen the game would just be 'find the match', which is much easier.
How is my accuracy scored?
It measures the angular distance on the colour wheel between your click and the true hue. Closer = higher score. Saturation and brightness aren't graded â only hue.
Is the snarky commentary written by an AI?
The lines are hand-written and pulled from a pool. No live language model is generating reactions during play.
I'm colour-blind, is this playable?
Honestly, it depends on the type. Red-green colour-blind players will find the wheel's red and green spokes hard to distinguish. We'd love to add a colour-blind-friendly mode â it's on the list.
