I designed this game as part of an ongoing quest to build a museum of unique experiences. The goal is an immersive learning playground with the manufacturing ability to enable the most creative exhibits to come to life. Behind the scenes becomes one of the main exhibits, and visitors will be given the opportunity to get their hands on the creation process.
While the audience, funding, and logistics come together to create the physical museum, I am creating other in-person and digital experiences.

Each round, tap any square on the 6×6 grid to clear it. The game will try to guess where you are going to go. If it guesses correctly, you lose. Clear 35 of the 36 SquaRizz and you win!
If this were completely random, you would lose every 18 rounds on average. But this is not random — the game tracks patterns and weighs options for where you might go next, so you have the opportunity to fool it. It also has the opportunity to lock in to your idiosyncrasies.
To give you a little help, the game will reveal its official guess in red, and give you a heat map of the rest of the cell weights from blue to orange.
Some people are more capable of being completely random than others, but the game becomes more interesting as you try to find the patterns AI cannot break.
The AI in this game is a local statistical model — a set of mathematical weights that update based on your picks. It runs entirely in your browser. It is not connected to any external AI, LLM, neural network, or online service of any kind. You can also clear game data and AI memory at any time by scrolling to the bottom of the stats & proof section, and clicking the clear data button.
After each pick, every square briefly shows two percentages: "guess% / norm%". The guess % shows the weight assigned to each cell. The norm % is the baseline — 1 divided by the number of cells still available. If the guess % is higher than norm %, then the model calculated a higher likelihood that you would go there.
Your score = rounds survived + your AI dodge bonus. The dodge bonus is the sum of how much you outsmarted AI each round. It is calculated as the norm % minus the guess %. If you consistently picked blue or green "unlikely" squarizz, that sum is positive and adds to your score. If the AI had you figured out, the bonus is zero — it never reduces your score.
AI Edge measures how accurately the game was guessing your next moves. If you constantly select orange and red cells, AI Edge shows a better than average percent. Negative edge means you're fooling the game. The graph shows AI edge over every round played in that browser, until you clear the data.
If the game guessed completely randomly, you would survive 18 rounds per game on average. Since the game tracks your patterns and in-game behaviors, it can bring the average rounds per game much lower. But, since you are intelligent as well, you have the chance to bring that average back up. In a way, it is a game of double-reverse psychology in a constant feed-back loop normalizing towards random odds but playing out like a game of laser tag.
A cryptographic hash is a one-way fingerprint. One input always = one output, but you cannot reverse it to find the original input. Before each round, the AI hashes its guess together with a random number (a "nonce") and shows it to you before each pick.
After your pick, the AI reveals the guess and nonce used to create the hash. You can verify them by creating the hash yourself — proving that AI did not change its guess after seeing your move.
In the Proof of Commitment section, copy or note the current hash, select a square, and then copy the input string (format: guess|nonce). Paste it into any SHA-256 tool — search "sha-256 online" or run echo -n "input" | sha256sum in a terminal. The result should exactly match the hash shown to you before your pick.
This will permanently erase your AI training data, game history, win record, and all golden trophy SquaRizz. This cannot be undone.
