How to play

1. One piece of gear from a video game is shown as a blocky white silhouette. Shape only, no colour, no detail.
2. Name the game it comes from. You get four guesses, picked from a searchable list, so spelling never costs you a try.
3. Each wrong guess reveals more: greyscale shading, then colour, then the item at full detail.
4. Get it right and the game is revealed. A new piece of gear goes up every day at 00:00 UTC.
