About GuessSet
What we built, and why.
The short version
GuessSet is a free browser-based tool for making custom card sets to use with the game Guess Who? and similar guessing games. We built it because we wanted to play with a deck of familiar faces — and it felt ridiculous to spend an evening wrestling with a word processor and a pair of scissors.
Who we are
GuessSet is made by the Studio Squidney creative team — a small, family-flavored creator studio that ships small, useful tools one at a time. We're not a big company. We're a handful of people with day jobs who build things on the side because we enjoy it and because making something from scratch still beats buying the 400th variation of the same thing off a shelf.
Why GuessSet exists
Someone in our circle wanted to play Guess Who? with family members instead of the generic cartoon characters. The idea was cute. The execution was miserable — cropping 24 photos by hand, measuring card slots, printing, cutting, hoping the duplex came out right. The finished deck was great; the process was a weekend sink. GuessSet does that same work in under ten minutes, for any theme you can think up.
The principles behind it
- Your stuff stays yours. Every photo you upload and every name you type stays in your browser. No server uploads, no account, no data harvesting.
- Free first, tip later. The card builder and all downloads are free. If you find it useful, there's an optional tip at the end — pay what you want or skip it entirely.
- Fast enough to finish. A card set takes about ten minutes from first upload to downloading the PDFs. No one has time for a side project that takes all afternoon.
- Print-ready, not print-adjacent. The outputs are real PDFs with cut lines, correct card sizes, and duplex-aligned fronts/backs. Print on cardstock and you're done.
What's next
A few things are on the roadmap as real usage tells us what to build: an AI-generated theme option (describe a theme, get 24 named portraits), community theme packs, and higher-quality export options for users who want store-bought-feeling cards.
