Close Up

6
guesses · one cover

One album cover a day, magnified until it stops being a picture and starts being a texture — a corner of a halftone screen, one letterform, a patch of sky nobody else printed that year. Name the record.

There are no options to eliminate: you type the album, so a guess is worth something only if you actually know the sleeve. Every miss zooms out one step, and the sixth shows the whole cover — so it is always winnable in the end. The trick is not needing that far. Everyone gets the same cover, and it changes at midnight Eastern.

Name the album

It zooms out with every miss. No multiple choice — type the record.
