Orai — FAQ

Orai is a free daily web game where you guess whether 6 images are AI-generated or real photos. It's like Wordle for AI image detection — everyone gets the same puzzle each day, and you build a streak by playing daily. Learn more about Orai →

The puzzle resets at midnight in your local timezone. Everyone in the same timezone gets the same puzzle.

After completing the puzzle, tap "Share result." Orai generates an emoji grid showing your guesses (without revealing images), which you can post to Twitter, Reddit, or send to friends.

Your streak resets to zero. There's no streak freeze yet, so consistency is key. Play daily to earn badges.

Badges are earned by building streaks:

First Step (1 day), Consistent (10-day streak), Dedicated (30-day streak), Devoted (100-day streak), and Legend (365-day streak). Score 6/6 on any day to earn the "AI Whisperer" daily title.

Once you complete a day's puzzle, you can view your results again but can't replay for a new score. Come back tomorrow for a fresh puzzle!

Check for 12 common AI tells: unnatural symmetry, wrong hands/fingers, garbled text, inconsistent lighting, texture repetition, impossible geometry, wrong eye reflections, painted-looking hair, over-saturated colors, background artifacts, unnatural edge crispness, and perspective warping.

The finger test: count the fingers in any image showing hands. AI frequently produces wrong finger counts, fused fingers, or anatomically impossible joints. It's one of the fastest and most reliable AI detection checks.

AI image generators learn visual patterns, not language. They produce text that looks like writing but is meaningless gibberish. A real "STOP" sign says STOP; an AI "STOP" sign might say "SOTP" or "ST0P" or contain fake characters.

Yes. Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion can create images that fool almost anyone at a glance. However, they still leave subtle artifacts in symmetry, hands, text, lighting, and textures that daily practice can help you spot.

The leading AI image generators in 2026 are Midjourney (best for artistic quality), DALL-E 3 (best for prompt accuracy), and Stable Diffusion (best for open-source control). Orai includes images that may be generated by these and other models.

Play Orai daily. Each puzzle teaches one specific detection technique with instant feedback. Over weeks, you'll build a mental library of AI tells. Also read our comprehensive 12-technique AI detection guide.

AI image literacy is the ability to critically evaluate images and determine whether they are AI-generated or real photographs. It's a critical 21st-century skill as AI-generated images become indistinguishable from reality. Orai makes building this skill fun and habitual.
