Skywire VIP Game

Skywire VIP swaps the cable-car dodging of the original Skywire for a celebrity guessing game. A tram rolls in and drops off a "bean person" — a simple bean-shaped figure standing in for a real historical or modern celebrity — and it's up to you to work out who they are from their outfit, pose and props alone.

Type the character's name, or the place they're from, into the answer box. There are 100 questions in total, so a full run means recognizing a wide mix of famous faces rendered in Nitrome's stripped-down bean-people art style. Get stuck and you can click the spotlight with the "?" to reveal a hint, but taking it halves that question's score from 100 points down to 50, so it pays to guess before you peek.

Controls

Keyboard only: type your answer into the on-screen text field and confirm to submit it.

Tips

• Look at the whole picture before typing — clothing, accessories and pose are usually bigger clues than the character's expression.
• If nothing comes to mind, count the letters the answer box expects; it narrows down short names fast.
• Save the hint spotlight for characters you genuinely can't place — at half credit, it's a fallback, not a first move.

It suits players who enjoy trivia and pop-culture recognition games more than reflex-based ones — a good pick for a slower, puzzle-it-out session rather than a quick action fix.
