FAQ
Everything you might want to know — how it works, how scoring is calculated, and how it compares to other toon tone games.
Daily Toon Tone is a free daily color memory game. Each day you get five puzzles — for each one, you see a real-world subject in a random color and have to slide hue, saturation, and brightness to recreate the color you remember. After you submit, the real color is revealed and you get a transparent breakdown of how close you were.
Daily Toon Tone plays in the same genre as the various "Toon Tone" games (toontone.app, toontonegame.com, toontone.co), but it is its own project. Our angle is a true daily rotation, real-world subjects (food, nature, animals, landmarks) instead of only cartoons, and a fully transparent score breakdown so you can see exactly why you got the score you did.
Yes. No signup, no paywall, no in-app purchases. Play in any browser. We may add unobtrusive ads later to cover hosting; the game itself stays free.
Your score is based on CIEDE2000 — a perceptual color-difference formula used in print and design. It accounts for how the human eye actually perceives color difference, so small mistakes in a less-sensitive hue (like deep blue) cost less than the same numeric difference in a sensitive hue (like yellow-green).
Each round scores 0–10 based on the CIEDE2000 ΔE between your guess and the real color. Lower ΔE → higher score:
Your daily total is the sum of all five rounds, out of 50.
Yes — the sliders are touch-friendly and the layout adapts to phones and tablets. A native-feeling PWA version is on the roadmap.
Not yet — for now the order is randomised per session so you can play again. A globally-synchronized daily round (everyone gets the same five puzzles per UTC day) is the next milestone, along with streak tracking and a leaderboard.
