Nani Pix
01 · Stages
Watch it sharpen
Every round starts as a handful of chunky pixels. Each stage allows a few wrong guesses; once they’re used up, Nani Pix posts a clearer picture. Five stages take it from a blur to the real screenshot.
02 · Start a round
Any anime, any scene
Send Nani Pix a screenshot in a private chat, or type /newgame and pick one from Shikimori, Tenrai or TMDB. Then tell her which anime it is: search a site, pick it from your MyAnimeList list, or type the title yourself.
How would you like to identify the anime?
03 · Guess
Guess together
The whole group guesses with /guess in the game topic. Case, punctuation and small typos don’t matter, and a near miss shows the words you got right. The first right answer wins, and the winner starts the next round.
❌ Not quite! Guesses until the next clue: 1/2 (stage 3/5).
🔎 Partly right: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Frieren

Earn pixels, buy clues
Wrong guesses, quick starts and wins all pay pixels. Spend them on private clues, like a letter, the title’s shape or an extra screenshot, or add them to a round’s bounty. A HARD MODE win pays double.

08 · Meet Nani Pix
The pixel mage behind the game
Nani Pix is the game’s host and mascot: a pixel mage whose spell turns the world into pixels, which is exactly what happens to every screenshot in a round. Every wrong guess weakens her spell a little, until someone sees through it. She watches each round from the corner of the picture and reacts to how it’s going.
