Catfishing.net: a daily trivia game that has nothing to do with that other thing

https://catfishing.net/

This one has become a favorite of mine. It's based on Wikipedia articles -- you're given a list of categories, from which you have to guess the article title. For example, you might be given American Presidents, founding father, American slaverholder, and Virginian, and the answer would be George Washington.

They range in difficulty and getting a question right where < 10% of people answered correctly is immensely gratifying. (This game already has paid dividends in other trivia contests for me, too, and I have greater retention of the facts I learn about than something like maptap.gg.)

I learned about this game a while ago but forgot about it for a while and coincidentally just started playing it again a couple of days ago. It's pretty fun. Might need to add it to My Daily Games (currently: Wordle, Connections, Cinematrix, MapTap.gg).

Got 7/10. Happy with that considering the ones I got wrong were largely VERY American things I wouldn't have guessed

I play this every day, I enjoy it though you feel very stupid when you miss one that you actually know

How often is it about American Things?

IME it isn't really though with user submissions involved things can shift. When I started playing I assumed it was UK-based, though I don't think that anymore.

It is anglo/euro/white/western-centric to some extent, likely mirroring or maybe bettering English-lang wikipedia's own content biases, but I'm largely okay with that since I learned from playing this for a while that I don't know some super obvious stuff about other parts of the world.

My personal complaints are that there is way too much videogame content and for a while there was too much internet culture/memes though that seems to have lessened a bit.

this game also made me consider posting "the names of historical ships" on the things you don't care about thread

Xp yes there do seem to be a high frequency of video game / animated film / Internet culture related questions in there, which is great for me but maybe not so much for others.

This is all great training for the pub quiz or when I one day get invited on some sort of Uni Challenge Amateur Edition

True, it's "geek culture" in general (plus STEM, though I can't complain about math and science questions...except that often they're the ones with like only 4 categories as clues). I just only bristle at it when it's things I'm not very geeky about lol. I did get the internet culture one correct today.

Having played a decent amount in the archives, I find the list of answers that you were among the best at pretty revealing. Mine are almost all from the humanities, so now it's interesting to see which humanities topics have crossed over into the average catfishing player's world.

There's also a young millennial/ older gen z feeling to it overall I think, which is interesting in abstract but annoying when I don't know anything about early 00s cartoons or w/e

sorry for barrage of posts. I've been playing this for months and have more thoughts than I realized!

A very cool aspect to this is clicking through to the article. For a while the #1 most clicked-through one was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing, which I was impressed by as very very few Americans know about that and informing people is a genuine public service.

yeah my archive best answers were mostly literature-based too (though erasing cookies wiped out my archives and now my best answers are nas and the neptunes lol). I have no clue on most of the video game questions, which I can see aren't a problem for most people playing this.

Just a heads up: I've taken to answering questions looking for Chinese people with their full names because the game has a defaults to last name = surname.

7/10 today... but yes in the world of fast moving non-monoculture, asking me to know a 2026 meme about a monkey is maybe stretching a bit far. would be better to lean on articles about things that have maybe had enough staying power in the public consciousness to be remembered a few years later

justice for harambe.

7/10. also missed the monkey.

explain to me how the kinsey scale is an "introduction" wtf

i'm like how am i supposed to know the name of the introduction to one of kinsey's books and then it's just the most obvious name of the general concept

I think that's just wiki category-speak for when something was introduced. see also "YEAR establishments"

not that the category system doesn't have its flaws. for a while it felt like 50% of the people questions were tagged with "[NATIONALITY] anti-communists"; someone must have been obsessively zealous about adding that to biographical entries

what would wikipedia be without zealots and pedants

otm. I decided to make an effort to find it charming

In most trivia games, one-name answers are only accepted if the mononyms have some official standing, like Madonna or Cher. Names like Kendrick or Ariana usually are pretty clear in casual conversations, but aren't enough in trivia contests.

I'm familiar with the subject of #8 but couldn't remember the exact title.

Number 8 was one of them. I knew it and then somehow chickened into a different answer

It told me I was wrong for no 9 when I put McMurdo Station instead of McMurdo Base. It also told me I was wrong for no 10 when I put Plan 9 rather than the full Plan 9 From Outer Space. So I marked both as close enough.

close enough on Q7 bc I said Lord Binface instead of Count.

also for the first time I got a "Did You Mean?" when I did not actually mean the right answer. it was on Q2: I guessed "Tanuki" bc I associate that word with Japanese raccoons, but I don't know who this Tom Nook fellow is. didn't feel right saying yes to that.

oof thought I was cruising to a personal worst for a minute there

#2 was annoying because I know about that character but never played the game (I guessed landlord tanuki lol)

#6 I imagine a lot of Americans my age made the same guess here (French and Indian War); not sure if this is a US bias or a historiographical change since the 80s?

I'm surprised that #6 doesn't seem to accept French Indian War, I said 7 years because it has less typing involved, but in my head they're referring to the same thing. I goes the distinction is that the former is a theater of the latter.

Same, rob re #1.

I have heard of #4 but was never going to pull it (seems like an interesting book), which I can't say the same about for #10 (lol at my ossified listening tastes).
Vaguely remembered #3 but had little confidence I had the band right.

:( Trayce I get your outrage, I find that fictional characters get treated differently with respect to names.

got a brutal 3/10, after making the same guess as jaymc on #2 but accepting the point

Re Q6, I got thrown off by the category "Battles involving the Haudenosaunee" and thought the answer was a battle rather the entire war.

Maybe Cliven? In any case, the trivia chestnut is to always use surname only, Bundy alone was sufficient.

I wasn't sure if that was the case for Catfishing, so I've gotten into the habit of using full names. But good to know for the future.

Got a DYM for 2 because I kneejerked to its more famous cousin but stayed on the high road and make it wrong, and for my troubles I was marked wrong for 6 because I entered sunscreen instead of "wear sunscreen."

I gave myself a close enough for 6 because I entered Everybody Wear Sunscreen, thinking of the Baz Luhrmann song title, which is in fact "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)." Anyway, "Wear Sunscreen" isn't even the title of the original newspaper column, so I'd probably count any answer with "sunscreen" in it as close enough.

I opened this up on my phone this morning read #1 and knew exactly what it referred to but just couldn't come up with the name and closed the browser in frustration. Then about half an hour later it came to me and I went back and did the rest.

i should have done that, i would have gotten it, but i plowed ahead

my biggest error apart from doing this while drinking coffee rather than after is forgetting to follow my rule of always picking the obvious choice. One of the most humbling moments of my life was getting The Sun wrong a few games ago. Today it was picking Lethe instead of Styx.

The game is not designed to be a test of your knowledge, it's quite random really. There's no reason why the Wiki tags would accurately, exhaustively, or exclusively indicate the answer/title. It's just kind of a weird guessing game

went Affleck for 8

@symsymsym: Definitely considered Affleck, but realized that he was born before 1979. Biggest hint toward Krasinski is probably "Blunt family," though it's funny that Stanley Tucci came to my mind first.

there were clues, in retrospect! I tried to think of what horror movies Affleck had directed, figured maybe Argo was a horror for some. Didn't know Krasinski had won the People magazine honor, so Mass-based actor/director and prominent Democrat tipped the balance of probabilities for me

missed the easiest question of the day (#6) because I got confused by the references to Delaware.

I missed 6 today too and couldn't come up with the name for #5 but I could see the whole painting in my mind

#6 was a good one for my "always pick the obvious choice" rule, given how many other people in the category I could name. I could swear he's been on it before though

don't know my #6 history well enough

Interesting that #5 has a 10% get rate, but expanding the entry on the results page to look at submissions, I only see one accepted answer, and that only has 7%.

I wonder if the remaining 3% is misspellings of Arimathea that prompted a Did You Mean?

(oops guess I should have used spoiler tags)

I think you can see 2% answered "Joseph" and gave themselves the close enough point

I don't think there's that much US sports, feels like most days don't have any sports and the ones that do are equally likely to be soccer/F1 or Olympics as any of the big 3 American leagues. Can't remember a single NHL clue.

Glad to see that the game now accepts Chinese surnames correctly. For #2, I of course went for the incorrect Venice, and looking it up now the main difference between them is the date of founding, where Venice was established way back in 697 (both were disestablished by Napoleon in 1797). And to confuse things more, Venice also had territories along the Balkan coast up to the Sea of Marmara (in between the Mediterranean and Black Sea).

might not have gotten #6 if the clues didn't give away the first part of the name

#6, which I screwed up in a very dumb way, is included in the video game Civilization VI. I think that's often a factor in certain world history answers being higher than you might expect

makes sense. a lot of Learned League players cite Civilization as the reason they know certain facts.

never read a bad Du Maurier novel (okay The House on the Strand is kind of a mess) - even her historical ones are fun. I'm guessing the one on 823 was chosen as it's also a Hitchcock film (the year before his Rebecca) so has a bit more fame

#6 has been brought up as a “most mysterious and fascinating ancient artifact” for a long time, though only
