Make faces, break cases. You can use the face builder to create all kinds of shady characters. Read the latest case for inspiration or add your own mug to the gallery.

Current Suspect

The Celebrity

Yes, I got a good look at the culprit.   I was walking past the bank when the doors flew open and out rushed that famous person. That actor… or singer… I don’t remember what they do. Famous though.

Enjoy your stay, Vivian … but keep coming back. We have a lot of great stuff waiting in the wings for the new year.

I think someone was reading Anna Karenina when they made a face.

For face creating play, "Unusual Suspects" by far exceeds the joy I had playing with "Mr. Potato Head" -- What fun this is!!

I don't want to be that guy, but it's extremely difficult to use this tool to make much other than white people faces. Being that I'm not a white people, I might want to make something in my own fun image.

It starts with only being able to choose white heads, then continues with the bizarrely labeled "brightness" control which doesn't get anywhere near dark enough (and doesn't take into account many east Asians at all). Finally, looking at the images sourced for the tool you see that only 4 black people were used and 3 of the 4 are pulling silly faces.

Sorry, but it's depressing to be overlooked... Any update coming?

Hi Patrick,

No offense was intended. To keep within reasonable file size, a maximum number of features of varied ethnicities are included. The brightness slider is intended to make all of the features usable whatever ethnicity is desired. If you flip through the 1000+ gallery, you'll see that at least 30% of the faces are ethnicities other than white.

It isn't a perfect tool to recreate any face, but then that wasn't really the point of the app. Our apologies for any misunderstanding. Keep an eye out for a reimagining of this tool that takes a more surreal twist.
