What is Anamo?

Anamo is a free guessing game about the human body — like a geography guessing game, but the map is a 3D anatomical model. Each round, the game secretly picks a structure: a bone, muscle, blood vessel, nerve, organ or ligament. You type guesses by name, and every guess is painted onto the model in a heat color based on its real 3D distance from the answer — white when you're far away, deep red when you're close, green when you've got it. Even wrong guesses teach you where things are relative to each other, which is exactly how anatomy is learned.

Five ways to play

Random serves a mystery structure from anywhere in the body. Daily gives everyone in the world the same puzzle each day, with a shareable emoji-grid result. Practice lets you drill one body region at a time — ideal for exam revision. Description gives you a one-line clue to identify the structure from. Speed highlights structures on the model and races you against the clock. Four difficulty tiers span from household-name bones to structures that challenge medical students, so the game meets you at your level.

Learn the anatomy behind the game

Our Anatomy Guide has plain-language articles on dozens of structures that appear in the game — from the femur, the strongest bone in the body, to the scaphoid, the wrist bone infamous for fractures that refuse to heal. Each article covers where the structure sits, what it does, why it matters clinically, and which neighbors to guess next time it comes up in a round.

Frequently asked questions

Is Anamo free? Yes — free to play in any modern browser, no account required. The site is supported by ads.
Are the models medically accurate? The 3D models come from the Open3DModel Project (AnatomyTOOL.org), based on BodyParts3D and Z-Anatomy, and are used under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. The game is educational, not medical advice.
Can I use it to study? Many players do — Practice mode by region, then Random mode to test overall recall.
