Can you spot the video deepfake?

The voice you hear is always genuine. Has the video been manipulated?

Introduction

Every clip shows a real person talking to their webcam, and you hear their real voice. In some of them the picture has been faked. Can you tell which? Press 'Start' to begin.

This is the position you are in on a video call: you know the voice, you have nothing to compare against, and you have to decide from what you see.

About the game

  • The audio is always genuine. Only the video may have been manipulated, so judge what you see, not what you hear.
  • Fakes come in three flavours: a swapped face, a re-animated mouth, or a fully generated head. Each leaves different traces.
  • After every answer we tell you which one it was and what gave it away - so you get better as you play.
  • There are 50 clips and you see each one exactly once before any repeats, with a score summary every 25 rounds.

Data

All clips come from the DeepSpeak v2 dataset by Sarah Barrington, Maty Bohacek and Hany Farid, used under academic licence for non-commercial public education. Clips are shown unedited apart from a uniform re-encoding applied equally to real and fake, so that none can be identified by its file format. Paper · Dataset
