Guess the Sketch
a tangible, bite-sized way to inspire creativityCreate a game as a way to show creativity, with a bit of competition, and using Gen AI. Highlight AI/ML (Gen AI) realtime inference running on GKE on GPUs. This game was built as a demo to be shown at Next ‘24 and reused at future events and conferences.
Objective:
The game was built completely on Google Cloud using products that were highlighted throughout Next ’24. This helped land the message that anyone can build something end-to-end on Google Cloud.
Background:
The proposed game is the evolution of the classic game of telephone Pictionary, which is aptly described by Bard as follows:
Telephone Pictionary is a game that combines the verbal exercise of Telephone with the drawing game Pictionary.
Here's how to play Telephone Pictionary:
● Each player writes a phrase on the top sheet of paper.
● The next player draws a picture of their interpretation of the phrase.
● The next player captions the drawing.
● The game continues with players taking turns drawing and captioning until the paper is passed around and the message gets lost.
● When the game ends, you'll have a funny story written by you and your friends.
Telephone Pictionary is great for any group size, as long as they can be broken down into smaller groups of 5-10 people each.
In our rendition of the Next Gen AI Pictionary game, we used Generative AI to create images based on prompts written by the players.
The Game:
● Inspiring & tangible: A game is a tangible, bite-sized way to inspire creativity for using Gen AI within games. The proposed game is relatively simple to build and understand - developers can do this at home without large teams.
● Impactful: a live playable game with a bit of competition is more engaging and has a longer lasting impact than a video or presentation.
● Emphasizes the build on Google Cloud message: the game is built completely on Google Cloud using products that were highlighted throughout Next’24.
Why build a game rather than a video or a presentation?
Which products are highlighted?
● Game servers on the GKE Game Stack (Agones on GKE)
● Microservices on GKE Autopilot
● Inference on GKE on GPUs (stable diffusion)
● Inference on Vertex AI (Imagen)
● Google Gen AI model (Imagen)

Wireframes:
There are 2 basic pages that are needed. Each page can have multiple states.
Requirements:
● P0: Should be compatible with mobile devices (tablet, smartphone, etc.), including portrait mode on mobile devices
● P1: On webpage, should display in landscape.

Game Page 2: Guess the Image
Final Page: Scoreboard
A realtime dashboard showed the following metrics towards the end of the game:
a. Latency of image generation (prompt submission to image displayed)
b. Cost per session
c. Randomization of Gen AI models (or player chooses)
