Play Wisielec Online

Game Overview

Wisielec is basically Hangman with a medieval twist—instead of just guessing letters, you're trying to save some poor soul from the gallows. Before each round, you get a category hint (like "weapons" or "royalty"), which helps a little, but some of those old-timey words can still trip you up.

Pick letters one by one, and if you're wrong, another piece of the hanging gets drawn. Nail it, though, and you earn points—more if you guess the whole word without mistakes. There are ten difficulty levels, so it starts easy but gets brutal fast. The pixel art has that classic Amiga charm, and the tension builds every time you hesitate between "Q" and "Z."

It’s simple, but the stakes feel weirdly real when that noose starts filling in.
