Did you know?

  • Io is slightly bigger than our Moon.
  • Jupiter's strong pull keeps squeezing and stretching Io, which heats up its inside.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
