Character Catalog

SherlockAI's character mode currently ships with 600 playable characters organised into 6 categories, and the deduction engine picks its questions from a pool of 103 authored clues. This page lists the full catalog so you can check whether a favourite character is included before you start a round.

The catalog is curated by hand. Every character is tagged against the same set of traits, which is what allows the game to narrow hundreds of candidates down to a single guess from your answers. If SherlockAI fails to guess a character you had in mind, you can suggest the missing name at the end of the round and it will be reviewed for a future update.

Real People (180)

Famous real-world figures from sport, music, film, science, politics, and history. Clues in this section lean on nationality, field of work, era, and public achievements, so rounds about real people tend to reward broad general knowledge.

Superheroes & Comics (90)

Heroes, villains, and supporting characters from major comic book universes. Expect clues about powers, secret identities, publishers, and whether the character is best known as a hero, a villain, or something in between.

Anime & Manga (85)

Characters from Japanese animation and comics, from long-running adventure series to modern fan favourites. Clues often touch on the series a character comes from, their role in the story, and signature abilities.

Video Game Characters (85)

Protagonists, mascots, and villains from console, PC, and mobile games. Clues reference the franchise, the platform the character is associated with, and what the character can actually do in their games.

Movies & TV (85)

Live-action and animated characters from film and television. Clues cover the movie or show they appear in, the genre, their role in the story, and iconic traits audiences remember them for.

Literature & Mythology (75)

Figures from classic novels, children's books, legends, and world mythology. Clues draw on the source text or myth, the character's role, and powers or artefacts tied to their stories.
