Deviation Game turns drawing into a contest between human interpretation and machine vision. In this cooperative party game, one player receives a secret prompt and tries to depict it so friends can recognize it while the AI cannot. Its central twist reverses the familiar idea of an AI test: here, people are trying to fool the system, not the other way around.
A round moves from choosing a prompt in categories such as objects, actions, or concepts to drawing, then submitting guesses. The human guessers and AI compete to identify the image, and the answer determines which side wins. The challenge is not simply to make a clear picture: players must balance recognizability for friends against ambiguity for the AI. The game frames that tension as a playful way to explore how AI interprets drawings, including culturally specific ones.
Its co-op party format is designed for two to six players, with a shared-screen setup and phone browsers serving as controllers through a QR code or room code. At the end of a game, players can choose whether to consent to their drawings being used to potentially train the AI; collection is opt-in, and data without consent is deleted.
