Game of Prompts

The funniest prompter wins.

Every player gets the same challenge and a few minutes to prompt the best images they can. Then everyone votes for their favourite.

Here is how a game plays out

01 - the challenge

Nobody knows the challenge until the round starts.

Bildy draws it at random from a pot of 30 games, and the same one never comes up twice in a night. Every player reads it at the same moment, so everyone starts from the same place.

Round 2 of 5your challenge
The Picture That Should Not Exist
Something physically impossible, photographed as if it really happened. The more believable the light and shadow, the better.
The Final Boss of an Ordinary Job
Pick a very normal job and turn the person into a video game final boss, with the tools of the trade as weapons and armour.
The Room as a Film Set
One photo of your room, three film genres. Same walls, completely different mood in each version.
Invented Creature
Invent an animal that does not exist. Mix two or three real ones, give it a habitat and let the picture show where it lives.

02 - the clock

Everyone prompts at once, and the clock starts ticking.

The first round gives you five minutes and every round after that is thirty seconds shorter. You prompt in your own folder, so you can throw away a bad idea and start over as often as you like. You submit up to 5 images, and the other players only ever see the ones you submitted.

03 - the reveal

Every submitted image is revealed to the players.

One player at a time, your images fill the screen while you tell everyone what you were going for. This is the part people actually show up for, because what you asked for and what the AI made are never quite the same thing.

04 - the vote

Everyone votes for their favourite.

You get one vote and you give it to another player, not to a single image. The votes land live, so you watch the bars move while the other players make up their minds.

One vote per browser, for a player rather than a single picture.

05 - the podium

Hopefully you take the trophy home.

Points add up over all 5 rounds: winning a round is worth 3 and every vote you pick up is worth one more. The podium ends the game, and if you are signed in your name stays on the hall of fame.

30 games in the pot

You never play the same challenge twice.

Every player gets the same prompt at the same second, and no two answers have ever come back the same. A quick, silly idea beats careful craft more often than anybody expects.

An Everyday Thing as a Luxury Product
Take something dull from a kitchen drawer and sell it like a designer object: studio light, clean background, big price tag energy.
Historic Event in the Wrong Style
Pick a moment from history and render it in a look that does not belong to it at all: anime, claymation, 90s sitcom, sticker sheet.
Doodle to Picture
Scribble something rough with the doodle tool and let the model finish it, keeping your composition intact.
My Room, but Different
Photograph the room you are sitting in, then turn it into a spaceship, a temple or a witch lab. The furniture layout should still be yours.
Worst Prompt, Best Picture
Start from a deliberately terrible prompt, then rescue it with edits until the picture is genuinely good. The bad start is the point.
Fake Movie Poster
A poster for a film that was never made. Decide the genre, the star and the tagline, and make it look like it hung in a cinema.
The Final Boss of an Ordinary Job
Pick a very normal job and turn the person into a video game final boss, with the tools of the trade as weapons and armour.
Holiday in an Impossible Place
A holiday snapshot from somewhere nobody can go: the moon, the rings of Saturn, a volcano planet. Keep it looking like a real photo.
Food from the Future
Plate up a meal from the year 2500. Think about what it is made of, how it is served and who eats it.
Genre Roulette
Draw a genre at random, then push one plain scene fully into it. Lighting, colour and camera all have to agree.
Your Own Superhero
Design a hero with one very specific power, brilliant or completely silly. The costume should give the power away.
Beautiful but Cursed
Make something genuinely pretty that is also quietly wrong. One detail too many, and the viewer needs a second to spot it.

No waiting around

There is probably a game starting right now.

Public games fill up and start on their own, so you can join one by yourself and be playing within a minute or two. If you would rather play with people you already know, open a room and send them the code.
