Pixelate

Pixelate is the guess-the-image game: a photo starts completely obscured, you sharpen it step by step, and the room races to shout the answer before it’s obvious.

Building Your Image List

Create a new Pixelate document from the Feature Library, then drag images straight from Finder into the item list (drop a whole batch at once) or click Add Item.

For each image, open its editor to set:

• Name — your reference label (the answer, essentially).
• Effect Mode — five ways to hide the image:
• • Pixelate — the classic chunky mosaic (default)
  • Blur — soft-focus fog that gradually sharpens
  • Zoom — starts extremely close, zooms out; drag the focus point to choose where it starts
  • Scramble —tiles shuffled out of place
  • Puzzle — pieces that assemble as you reveal
• For Scramble and Puzzle, a difficulty grid from 6×6 (Very Easy) to 24×24 (Extreme).

Display Options sets a Title Graphic and Background.

Playing

Select an image and use the Effect Level control — 10 steps between fully hidden and fully clear:

• Right chevron (or Up arrow) — reveal a little more.
• Left chevron (or Down arrow) — re-obscure it.
• Show it! (or Spacebar) — the full dramatic reveal, complete with fanfare.
• Reset re-hides the image; arrow keys move between images.

Play options: Show Title, Show Instructions, and Play Sounds.

Tips

• Try out the different effects to mix things up for your group.
