About SumoGuesser
A fan-made guessing game celebrating the sport of sumo.
What is SumoGuesser?
SumoGuesser challenges you to identify professional sumo wrestlers from cropped photos: torsos, arms, legs, and other body parts. Faces are never shown.
Try the Daily Challenge โHow it works
Photos are gathered from publicly available sources, then automatically cropped to remove faces and isolate body parts using pose estimation. Players guess the wrestler from these crops.
In the daily challenge, the same five photos are shown to every player. Each round starts blurry. Wrong guesses make the image clearer, but cost you points.
