This game is fun and frustrating at the same time. It's a color test developed by a company called X-Rite Photo & Video, and was designed to determine how accurately you can detect hue differences. Basically they show you this…
Enter a caption (optional)…and you then have to drag-and-drop the tiles to get it to look like this (this shot is of my best effort):

What did you get? I got a measly 8 (and a slight headache). It's interesting that they show you (see image below) what range of colors you're weak at distinguishing.

I require everyone who works with color in our company to take the physical version of this test.
Better know where you have a weakness. It also allows for a lot less conflict when specifying and and approving color. Spectros and numerical data will only take you so far. A proven eye is always needed for final approvals. But this is only a small step to understanding what it takes to spec color with different processes and materials.!Report as spam-
I saw a recent job posting for a CMF designer within Microsoft Devices, which required a near-perfect score on the similar Munsell test. Didn't specify physical or digital, but probably the digital judging from your comments. Thanks for the good infos.

Not a game, this is eye test required in many industries. I used to work at a plastic color compounder and they have the physical version of this. Always amused how the lab tecnician with decades of experience could not just discerns variations in shades but accurately adjust a formula to match a sample within 2 tries, which was better and faster then the +20000$ xrite spectophotometer

A score of 4. It has always been my lucky number. Next time my wife says I don't know a color I'll remind her of my score. Bet she gets a 0 though.

Isn't this also limited by the color calibration of your own screen?
Then the lighting conditions in your room.Even if you wear glasses.!Report as spam -

A few small notes on this for anyone whose interested. X-rite is the parent company of Pantone and Munsell, so they make a large amount of the the color standards used in both design and manufacturing. They also make monitor calibration tools and spectrometers among other things.
There's a physical version of this test that seems to be significantly more difficult than the online version (for me at least), the effect of different kinds of light on the physical swatches is kinda a mind bender.!Report as spam -
Neat. Now I can tell clients who disagree with me on color schemes to go take this test and compare their scores to mine.
