Zetangole™ About

What is Zetangole™?

Zetangole™ is a family of patent-pending biometric-similarity based next-generation games for the PC and the mobile device. Powered by technology from HashThySelf and a cool idea for a network-based game, Zetangole™ offers a unique game-playing experience that is at once Social, Addicting, Fun and Entertaining in one of the safest and simplest ways possible.

Today, the word Zetangole™ also doubles as a synonym of Zetangole™ Faces, which is the first Zetangole™ game. You need a web-cam equipped PC or a camera-enabled semi-intelligent mobile device (e.g. Java cellphone) to play it.



Game play consists of 10 rounds in each of which up to 6 players can participate. In each round, the Game server selects a random target, usually a well-known person. The player whose snap (captured during the game) is deemed most similar to that of the target is the winner of that round. Players get to choose who takes their picture, or they can snap themselves.

The rules of the basic game are so simple that even grown-ups can play it with ease. 10 points are awarded to the winner of each round (no points for 2nd and lower places). In addition, a player gets 1 point each time he or she is chosen as a snapper by another player (No points for snapping yourselves). Points are tallied up at the end of the game to determine the overall winner. Games typically last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, but will be archived live during game-play to be available for your viewing pleasure forever thereafter. Here is a sample archive of a fictitious 3-round game (Dummy player images).
