If you recognize a remote-viewing target, record when recognition happened and mark the round familiar or uncertain. Keep the original response, but do not treat remembered details as evidence from a fresh hidden-picture trial. You can still use the image for an openly labeled observation exercise.
What if recognition happens before the reveal?
Stop and note what feels familiar without inspecting the answer early. You may remember a previous game, a thumbnail, or a related photograph. If you cannot identify the source, use “possibly familiar” instead of assuming the target is new.
Recognition can be incomplete. A sense that you have seen an image before does not tell you exactly which details you remember. That uncertainty belongs in the record and limits what you can conclude about the round.
What if I only recognize it afterward?
Write that sequence explicitly: “Recognition occurred after the reveal.” Do not rewrite the earlier response to make it sound as though you consciously remembered the image all along. Equally, do not ignore the possibility of prior exposure just because you did not notice it until later.
For example, a revealed lake photograph might remind you of an earlier session. Preserve the current sketch and mark the exposure uncertain. It is a different claim from saying the current impression could only have come from something hidden.
Can I remove familiar rounds from my results?
Keep a full log and label the reason for separating a round. If your aim is to review only fresh targets, define that rule before comparing scores and apply it to both matches and misses. Removing only awkward outcomes can create a misleading impression of success.
A simple record can include the date, target label when available, exposure status, original response, reveal, and the point at which familiarity was noticed. Store private notes somewhere you control.
Is the familiar picture still useful?
Yes, for a different activity. With the answer visible, describe its arrangement using clear words or simple marks. Compare a new description with the actual image to practice precision. Call it observation or memory practice, not a fresh hidden-target result.
Intuisity’s Remote Viewing Challenge is free to play and uses a picture-based exercise. Repeated pictures may occur; do not assume an unlimited fresh pool. Use the game for recreation and an honest record of your experience. A free account is needed for personal Progress Reports, while your own exposure notes can remain on paper.
