Some of the most popular games on app stores include trivia games ask players to guess the brand logo, song or correctly identify an object as part of a photo quiz. PicSlam does things a little bit differently, challenging players to see how well they know their favorite bands, celebrities, brands and friends based off of pictures posted to Instagram.
As well as having you become more familiar with the photos that routinely appear on your news feed, the app will also ask questions on other Instagram details like bios. The more accounts you follow on Instagram, the more of a challenge this photo quiz game is likely to be, since there will always be archives and new updates to pull content from.
