Game2Real-Bench: game-to-real visual reasoning correlation hits 0.935 across 25 VLMs

Qingan Liu · hf · 2026-10-19

Game2Real-Bench (Dalian University of Technology & NTU) tests whether visual reasoning measured in toy games transfers to real-world tasks, across fine-grained perception, spatial reasoning, constraint reasoning, and sequential planning. With 1,000 verifiable game samples and 400 aligned real-world samples, evaluations of 25 VLMs show strong game-to-real consistency (Pearson/Spearman 0.935). One-shot transfer improves constraint reasoning but hurts fine-grained perception. A 24K-sample dataset is also released.
