about Art & Ruin

The Premise

Every legend on this channel made something immortal. Almost none of them survived what it cost. Art & Ruin is a daily game about that gap — the space between the masterpiece and the life behind it. Five guesses, ninety seconds, one artist a day.

How To Play

Every midnight, a new artist is featured behind the glass. For each of the five questions, drag the slider or tap to type your guess. The closer your estimate is to historical reality, the higher your glass integrity score (0–100%).

Multipliers scale as the stakes rise: Q1 (×1), Q2 (×1), Q3 (×2), Q4 (×3), and Q5 (×3), for a maximum possible daily score of 1,000 points.
