◆ FAQ ◆

PersonaDLE is a free daily fan-made guessing game based on the Persona RPG series (P1 → P5X). Every day, a new character, Persona or music track is chosen — you have a limited number of attempts to find it across 6 different game modes.

Characters and content from Persona 1, 2, 3 (+ FES, Portable, Reload), 4 (+ Golden, Arena Ultimax), 5 (+ Royal, Strikers, Tactica), Persona 5X, and Persona Q (+ Q2). Coverage grows with each new release.

Every day at midnight Paris time. Each of the 6 modes resets independently with a fresh target.

100% free, forever. No ads, no in-app purchases. If you enjoy the game, Ko-fi donations help cover server costs — but they are never required.

We don't have high-quality Golden-style All-Out Attack artwork for Persona 4 yet. They'll be added when Persona 4 Revival arrives.

We don't have enough good-quality artwork for Persona 1's Personas yet to include them fairly.

We're still thinking about it! For now PersonaDLE focuses on the Persona series.

Of course! New characters and content will be added as these games release.

6 modes — Classic (Wordle-style attribute grid), Emoji (decode emoji clues), Silhouette (progressive image reveal), All-Out Attack (animated GIF), Personae (guess from the Persona, not the character), and Music (short audio excerpt).

Type a character name. After each guess, a grid compares 7 attributes: name, game of origin, gender, age, whether they're a Persona user or a Shadow, their Persona, and their Arcana. Green = exact match, yellow = close, red = wrong — identical logic to Wordle.

There are actually two streaks. Your per-mode streak (shown on each mode's page) counts consecutive days you've won in that specific mode — it resets to 0 if you miss a day or don't win, including giving up. Your global streak (shown on your profile) counts consecutive days you've played at all, in any mode — giving up still counts as playing, so it doesn't break this one. If you miss a day, Jack Frost can restore your global streak once every 60 days from your profile.

The filter panel lets you restrict the character pool to specific Persona entries — P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P5X, Persona Q and their sub-titles. Your selection is saved between sessions and applies across all 6 modes.

It depends which streak (see "What is a streak?" above). Your global streak (profile page) keeps going — giving up still counts as playing that day. But giving up does break your per-mode streak for that mode, since it only counts consecutive daily wins.

No — each player gets their own daily character, so you can't simply copy a friend's answer.

Send a friend a challenge in a specific mode; they play the same target and you compare results. It also earns Social Link XP.
