THANK YOU FOR PLAYING

ACCESS DENIED

YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAYED
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU HERE

MATCH CONFIDENCE: --

how did you know?

HOW IT KNEW

When you visited the site, your browser handed over a bunch of small details about itself. None of them are secret on their own, but combined they form a fingerprint that's almost always unique to one device.

Here is everything that was collected:

Your IP address
Your user agent string (browser and OS version)
Your language and timezone
Your screen size, color depth, and pixel ratio
Your device memory and CPU core count
The list of fonts installed on your system
A canvas fingerprint (a tiny image rendered by your GPU, which produces slightly different pixels on every machine)
A WebGL fingerprint (your graphics card vendor and renderer)
An audio fingerprint (the way your device processes a tiny sound wave)
The list of installed browser plugins

Each of those values gets passed through SHA-256, a one-way hash function. SHA-256 turns any input into a fixed string of letters and numbers, and there is no way to reverse it back to the original. The site never sees your real IP, your real font list, or any of the actual values. It only sees the hashes.

When you came back, the same process ran again, and the new hashes were compared to the saved ones. Each match adds to a confidence score, with bigger weight given to the signals that are hardest to fake (canvas, fonts, WebGL). If the score crosses a threshold, you are flagged as the same person and the site locks you out.

The hashes are stored in a JSON file on the server. That file is blocked from web access, so nobody can download it. And even if someone did download it, they would only see opaque hashes. The list of fonts you have installed is not in there. Your IP is not in there. Just strings of hex.

You can change your IP and the site will still know you. You can clear cookies and the site will still know you. The only ways through are: a different device, a different browser on the same device, a private/incognito window in some browsers, or installing or removing enough fonts and extensions that the fingerprint shifts past the threshold.

Or you can just accept that you have already played, and let it go.
