How it works

Your search bar is a diary

The Search Engine Confessional shows thirty half-typed searches. For each one, tap the autocomplete ending you would actually click. One tap per question, it moves on by itself, so there is no time to polish your answer. At the end you get one of four verdicts, from Curious Civilian to the Search Engine Itself, with a privacy and psyche readout.

Search history is one of the most intimate data sets about any of us. This game lets you look at your own patterns without handing them to anyone: nobody sees your answers but you, and nothing is stored on our servers.
