MyNameIsQuestionMarks
 My Name Is ???
comment
When the name of something — be it a character, object, location, or menu item — is unknown in a video game, it will often be represented by a string of question marks.
One of the simplest and most prevalent video game interface tropes.
The reasons for this vary (see below), and the result can range from confusion to an Interface Spoiler. See also No Name Given and Parts Unknown.
Confused Question Mark is for a different meaning of the symbol. Can be related to My Name Is Inigo Montoya.
(If you're looking to pothole this trope, it's written like MyNameIsQuestionMarks.)

Also in Crash 4, when you first play as Tawna's Alternate Self, the subtitles refer to her as "???" until you reach the end of the level and Coco recognizes her.

A meta example from Batman (1966): Actor Malachi Throne, guest starring as the villain False Face, was credited in the character's first appearance with a question mark in place of the actor's name, to be consistent with False Face's gimmick as a Master of Disguise with no traceable identity. Malachi Throne was understandably unhappy about this, and was given proper credit in his next appearance.

The GBA Fire Emblem games have "??" as the HP total for their final bosses at the beginning of the battles, because given that the normal cap is 60, HP displays are only two digits, and the final boss of each game has 120 HP. Once they're knocked down to 99 HP, they'll show their HP total as usual (even though the in-battle HP bars only show 80 HP.)

In Octopath Traveler II, The Shadow fought in Castti and Ochette's second side story is labeled as "???". This is fitting, as neither of them have any idea what it even is, despite Ochette's talent of identifying abstract concepts by scent. (It's actually a fragment of Vide sent to corrupt Castti.)

Glory of Heracles (DS) uses this for the main character at the start. Early in the game, he is told he is the great hero Heracles. After another Heracles joins the group, Leucos asks him to come up with a name for himself to differentiate the two... at which point the player is finally allowed to input a name.

Kirby:
The secret planet in Kirby Super Star's "Milky Way Wishes" is named "?". Its name was changed in Kirby Super Star Ultra... to "???".
Both Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3's bad endings feature an Enemy Roll Call showing every enemy and boss in the game alongside their names. The exception is each game's True Final Boss, which you have yet to encounter, shown only in silhouette and without their name - the former game's is labeled "!?", while the latter is "?".
In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, what appears to be Meta Knight is labeled only as "???" on his health bar when fighting him. When it's later revealed he's not actually Meta Knight but his Mirror World counterpart, his name changes to "Dark Meta Knight" for the penultimate boss fight.
Kirby: Planet Robobot: An enemy encountered at the end of The True Arena has its name listed as "????" in the entryway before you fight it, likely to avoid spoiling its identity as Star Dream Soul OS, a much more difficult version of the original Final Boss that's exclusive to this mode.

In World of Warcraft, if something has a significantly higher level than you (more than 10 levels), the level is displayed as "??" in its tooltip (in the level indicator in its portrait, however, the "level" will be a skull). This is also true for things that are coded to be "X levels higher than you", i.e., "boss"-rank creatures.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, during the scripted encounter with Zacian/Zamazenta in the Slumbering Weald (shortly after the player and their rival Hop get their starter Pokémon), the game's respective wolf is labeled "???" in much the same manner as the first Nihilego encounter in the Alola games, as the player character hasn't learned about the legend yet. However, as it is merely a mirage, it does not attack and is not affected by any of your Pokémon's attacks. It knocks you and Hop out with mist after a few turns, disappearing shortly afterwards.

The Binding of Isaac: Multiple:
An unlockable character and final boss of Wrath of the Lamb is called ??? (alternatively referred to as Blue Baby.)
Unidentified pill types are also labelled as ??? before they're used.
Getting the Curse of the Blind turns all chest/pedestal items into a "?" icon, and won't reveal what they are until touched.
The superboss Hush, introduced in the Afterbirth update to Rebirth, is located in an area named ???, which is nicknamed "Blue Womb" by fans since it's a blue-colored Palette Swap of the Womb floors.
One of the pills introduced in Afterbirth is named "???", and unlike other pills, this isn't just a way to obscure its name; even after you identify it, this is the actual name of the pill. Since it forces a Curse of the Maze effect for the rest of the floor, the trope is exploited, so that you actually have to remember which pill it is, lest you mistake it for one you haven't identified yet and give yourself a detrimental effect again on a later floor.

Griswold the Goblin has the ???? potion, which is known to have various effects used at random every time it's used, like turning people into various creatures, opening gates to alternate universes, destroying things, and causing the drinker to get big and buff and then shrink to the size of a bug. Haggard Helga even describes it in her spellbook as having to be used "with absolute caution" because of this.

Every episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse includes three to five "Mouseketools" Mickey and his friends set up at the beginning and use to solve problems they encounter. The last one is saved as a surprise for the young viewers, called the "Mystery Mouseketool," and shown as a question mark next to the others. This can unfortunately lead to toddlers and preschoolers seeing question marks in other contexts and calling them mysteries or Mouseketools.

Super Robot Wars labels unidentified units (ones that haven't fought one of your units yet) with question marks and their status screens are also question marks. In addition, bosses with very high HP (over 100,000 in Super Robot Wars: Original Generation) have a ???????? HP count.
This trope is combined with shadowed portraits (or a generic outline) to conceal the identities of characters in certain dialogue scenes (usually villains plotting). The effect is occasionally spoiled by someone's distinctive hairstyle.

Lenna's Inception: As you complete dungeons, you will unlock memories of a figure called "Archangel ???", with the ??? partially obscured by a glitching effect. After clearing the eighth dungeon, the figure's full name is revealed to be Archangel Lenna.

In Birds of Prey (2020), after Harley blows up the chemical factory and reveals to the world that she's broken up with the Joker (and is therefore no longer untouchable), people start coming after her to repay her for old grievances. When each one shows up, their name and grievance pops up on screen. But when Huntress shows up, we only get "Name: ??? Grievance: ???"

Pokémon Gold and Silver, your rival gives his own name as "???". You're supposed to enter his name later, but many a small child ended up permanently naming him ??? when asked, thinking that was actually his name. Averted in the remakes, which instead call him Passerby Boy in the battle dialogue, which is more obviously a description. If you somehow didn't realize that, it's also too long to fit in the naming prompt. Similarly, he no longer tells you his name in dialogue; he instead drops his Trainer Card and the player character sees his name on it, but the player doesn't say anything, a better hint that whatever you tell the officer will become reality.

The Legend of Zelda series:
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the hand in the Stock Pot Inn's toilet is entered in Link's Bomber's Notebook as "???". In a Mythology Gag, the same character appears in the past in Oracle of Ages and in Skyward Sword. In the latter, it belongs to a ghost girl who Fi does not know the name of, but is named Phoeni according to the strategy guide and her dialogue box in Skyward Sword HD.
In Ocarina of Time the connected places of Dampé's grave and the Kakariko Village windmill, both identified as "?" despite the locations of both entrances being obvious.
Furthermore, in Majora's Mask 3D the inside of the Moon is labeled as "???" if you save, quit, and look at the save file to load it.
In the Nintendo Switch remake of Link's Awakening, the pile of bones in Yarna Desert that hints to the location of a Piece of Heart if Link sprinkles Magic Powder on it is also called "???" in the dialogue box.
In the A Link to the Past ROM Hack Parallel Worlds, the Frozen World counterpart of "Your House" (Link's house) is "?'s House" and the owner is never met. There is also the final overworld area in the Light World, from where you can enter the final boss and get the ending, which is simply called "?" like the area in Ocarina of Time. It's heavily implied to be the top of Parallel Tower, but it's not confirmed.

Tales of Symphonia does this with Kratos, when he first joins the party. Yeah, he was a bit of a lone wolf.
Along with every boss, mini-boss or Big Bad who doesn't introduce themselves off the bat. Rodyle spends half the game with his name as "???" even after you hear his name. Perhaps justified in that the party was not in the scene at the time, but still.

Super Mario Bros.:
In Super Mario RPG:
A hidden item in Toadstool/Peach's room is just referred to as "Toadstool/Peach's ???." It is never said what the object is exactly, but it is implied to be something personal.
The character Geno is labeled "???" at first. His actual name isn't much better: it's ♡♪!? in English and a set of unique hieroglyphs in Japanese.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there are enemies in Gwarhar Lagoon whose initial form is a shark fin poking out of the sand, with its name listed as "????". This is because there are actually two different enemies this could potentially be, and until the enemy pops out of the sand and shows their body when attacking, they look the same. One of them has the official name Sharkbone, while the other is a Blurp with a shark fin strapped on its back. They also regularly shuffle themselves on the battlefield, so you have to keep track of which is which to know whether to jump or not when they attack.
In the Japanese and European versions of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the Junior Shrooboid is labeled as "????" in battle.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this is the name given in the tattle log for Doopliss before you find out his name.
This is the name given to Antasma when you face him during the intro battle in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Dream's Deep also suffers this on the save screen.

Any tracks/traces from a monster that you haven't identified yet in Monster Hunter: World will be designated as "???". Similarly, after reaching High Rank, you start encountering tracks labelled "??? Rathian", showing that they are similar, but also different from regular Rathian tracks. The final boss is also labelled ??? during the fight, though this is because they don't actually have a name yet. The boss gets a name after it is defeated: Xeno'jiiva.

Pokémon:
Pokémon Gold and Silver, your rival gives his own name as "???". You're supposed to enter his name later, but many a small child ended up permanently naming him ??? when asked, thinking that was actually his name. Averted in the remakes, which instead call him Passerby Boy in the battle dialogue, which is more obviously a description. If you somehow didn't realize that, it's also too long to fit in the naming prompt. Similarly, he no longer tells you his name in dialogue; he instead drops his Trainer Card and the player character sees his name on it, but the player doesn't say anything, a better hint that whatever you tell the officer will become reality.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl also use question marks to represent non-seen Pokémon in the Pokédex. Similarly, their equivalent/version of Missingno. is shown as the same icon, or for another kind, two white question marks.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity uses this when characters first appear. Later on, after Kyurem almost kills the player, this is also used for no given reason when the player awakens.
Before the name was revealed to be Dark Nova, the Synergy Burst of Pokkén Tournament's second hidden character, Shadow Mewtwo, was simply referred to by just 3 question marks.
In Pokémon X and Y's post-game quest, you and Looker fight a series of suspicious trainers all of whom are simply named as "???". They turn out to be Emma / Essentia in various disguises.
In Pokémon Sun and Moon (and their Ultra versions), the Ultra Beasts are named "???" in battle until you catch them and they're registered in your Pokédex (subsequent battles use their proper names). However, in Sun and Moon they're given code names by the two International Police agents working on dealing with them, and one even gets referred to by its name during the main course of the gamenote Specifically UB-01: Symbiont gets referred to as Nihilego by the villain. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon also don't hide Poipole and Blacephalon/Stakataka's names.
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, during the scripted encounter with Zacian/Zamazenta in the Slumbering Weald (shortly after the player and their rival Hop get their starter Pokémon), the game's respective wolf is labeled "???" in much the same manner as the first Nihilego encounter in the Alola games, as the player character hasn't learned about the legend yet. However, as it is merely a mirage, it does not attack and is not affected by any of your Pokémon's attacks. It knocks you and Hop out with mist after a few turns, disappearing shortly afterwards.
In Generations II-IV, a "???" type existed which was neutral against all other types. However, this only appeared as the type of unhatched Eggs and the move Curse (which as a status move isn't normally affected by Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors anyway), and in a few other niche situations.note Using moves like Conversion to become a mono-typed Flying Pokémon, then using Roost (heals the user but removes their Flying type); using Weather Ball in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness when the game-exclusive Shadow Sky is in effect; hacking a "??? Plate" into the game and equipping it to Arceus. In Generation V, it was removed (and Curse changed to a Ghost-type move), presumably for the number of headaches it created for the programmers.
It came back with a vengeance in Pokémon Sun and Moon in the form of Burn Up and Revelation Dance, with not only a ???-type Pokémon, but also a ???-type damage-dealing move. Like Roost to the Flying type, Burn Up removes the Fire type from its user, but it does not add a type back when the user is left with no type. The mono-Fire Cyndaquil and Growlithe lines get this move, as well as Moltres who is left as a Flying-type. On the other hand we have Oricorio with its signature ability Dancer and signature move Revelation Dance. The former causes the Pokémon with the ability to follow up someone else's dance move immediately, and the latter is a dance move whose type depends on the primary type of the user. Now Skill Swap Dancer onto Arcanine that have used Burn Up, put the Oricorio back into the field, and Revelation Dance. The Arcanine will immediately follow up with its own Revelation Dance, which due to it losing its typing become a legit ???-type damage-dealing move.
The interaction of ???-type and Wonder Guard is also interesting in Gen VII. This setup requires a Mimic Shedinja which can only be created by teaching Ninjask the move Mimic all the way back to Gen III. Now the setup requires Shedinja learning Entrainment through Mimic off a teammate, bestowing its Wonder Guard ability to an Arcanine and the Arcanine using Burn Up. Due to the ???-type having no weakness, this Arcanine cannot be targeted by any damaging move, so only status conditions and weather can take it down without changing the Arcanine's type again if the Arcanine cannot use Rest. Otherwise either the opponent has to use Soak, Forest's Curse or Trick-or-Treat to add a type to the Arcanine or faint it with a Perish Song.

In Episode 7 of Wonderful Pretty Cure!, a wolf-like villain with glowing red eyes and a dark hooded cloak briefly appears to give a Garugaru orders. To prevent the viewers from learning his identity, he's listed in the episode's credits as "???" rather than his actual name, which has yet to be revealed in the show proper.

Granblue Fantasy: Multiple characters:
In a typical Visual Novel fashion, any on-screen character who hasn't properly introduced their name yet (directly by themselves or indirectly by other characters) will have them temporarily labeled as "???".
Some of the Elite Mooks and bosses of the Arcarum expeditions have their HP and ATK levels replaced with "???" instead of using the typical green and red bar indicators of most enemies encountered in that mode.

In Project × Zone, all characters whose names have not yet been said are identified as "???" even though for some, it should be painfully obvious who they are. This also creates a bit of Interface Spoiler in the cutscene that introduces Soma, Alisa and Vashyron. When Soma asks for Alisa and Lindow to tell him what the hell's going on, "Lindow" speaks up but the name on his text box still reads "???", hinting that he's not actually Lindow.

In a Mythology Gag, the same character appears in the past in Oracle of Ages and in Skyward Sword.

In Final Fantasy V, there's a Blue Magic spell called "???". The reason for this seems to be the fact that it has no call box whatsoever. (If you care to know, it deals damage equal to the difference between your max and current HP.)

The Final Fantasy series: Multiple entries:
In Final Fantasy V, there's a Blue Magic spell called "???". The reason for this seems to be the fact that it has no call box whatsoever. (If you care to know, it deals damage equal to the difference between your max and current HP.)
Final Fantasy VI: Multiple characters:
This is initially Terra's "name".
The temporary ghost party members you can get on the phantom train have the same "name".
The xylophone-heavy song that plays when first you meet Gau is called "??".
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years does this straight, and has a variation. When a character talks from offscreen, their name is given as "???". When someone is in disguise (like in Edge's Tale), the name is given with a question mark at the end, like "Trainee?".
Happens twice in Final Fantasy X. First, when Rikku joins you mid-battle early on. Then later, for an Aeon in a battle before you get to choose its name.
Appears in Final Fantasy VII with the "Enemy Skill" materia, where it does the same as the FFV example.
Final Fantasy Tactics: Unlike every other enemy in the game, all Zodiac monsters have their stats hidden behind question marks, though if you target them with Life Drain or Demi (which takes off 25% of max HP) or Demi 2 (which takes off 50% of max HP) you can get a pretty accurate estimate of their total HP.

In the A Link to the Past ROM Hack Parallel Worlds, the Frozen World counterpart of "Your House" (Link's house) is "?'s House" and the owner is never met. There is also the final overworld area in the Light World, from where you can enter the final boss and get the ending, which is simply called "?" like the area in Ocarina of Time. It's heavily implied to be the top of Parallel Tower, but it's not confirmed.

In Jet Set Radio, the game's final Secret Character is unlocked not by challenging them specifically, but by challenging someone associated with them.

In Code 7, names of characters you don't know are displayed as three question marks.

It came back with a vengeance in Pokémon Sun and Moon in the form of Burn Up and Revelation Dance, with not only a ???-type Pokémon, but also a ???-type damage-dealing move. Like Roost to the Flying type, Burn Up removes the Fire type from its user, but it does not add a type back when the user is left with no type. The mono-Fire Cyndaquil and Growlithe lines get this move, as well as Moltres who is left as a Flying-type. On the other hand we have Oricorio with its signature ability Dancer and signature move Revelation Dance. The former causes the Pokémon with the ability to follow up someone else's dance move immediately, and the latter is a dance move whose type depends on the primary type of the user. Now Skill Swap Dancer onto Arcanine that have used Burn Up, put the Oricorio back into the field, and Revelation Dance. The Arcanine will immediately follow up with its own Revelation Dance, which due to it losing its typing become a legit ???-type damage-dealing move.

The Hex: The sixth patron of the Six Pint Inn, a bar where video game characters are present in, is a humanoid silhouette with the question mark for a face, known only as '???'. He is actually supposed to be the First-Person Ghost for an In-Universe interactive puzzle game, and thus, was not supposed to have an identity of his own. Disgruntled by the fact that his developer, Lionel Snill, not only gave him no identity or mouth, but also continuously forced him to listen to the same self-flaunting narcissistic speeches, ??? assisted other patrons (and the bartender) to help them open the portal to the real world and murder Lionel for the suffering he brought upon them.

In the Ace Attorney games, a new character's dialogue will be labelled as spoken by "???" until you learn the person's name. This is also occasionally the case for previously-appearing characters who speak from off-screen and then appear. Similarly, any person you talk to gets recorded in your files for later viewing, but their name, age (and depending on the situation, their gender), will all be displayed as "???" until you learn who the person is in greater detail. In Dual Destinies, this becomes the phantom's name after you've determined that he is not Detective Bobby Fulbright.

BlazBlue: The credits list "??????" as the voice actors for Hakumen and V-13 to hide the fact that they are alternate versions of Jin and Noel and therefore have the same voice actors.

Burn Notice manages to combine this with Fun with Subtitles, while simultaneously Played for Drama. When Michael confronts Simon, the subtitles list him as a Simon; but instead of a description all there is a "?", showing how little is known about him.

In Pokémon X and Y's post-game quest, you and Looker fight a series of suspicious trainers all of whom are simply named as "???". They turn out to be Emma / Essentia in various disguises.

Sarn Kamina in the opening of Telepath Tactics. Tarion is also referred to as "???" until Emma calls him by name in the final arc, even though it's pretty obvious who he is since his name is mentioned prior to that.

Kirby: Planet Robobot: An enemy encountered at the end of The True Arena has its name listed as "????" in the entryway before you fight it, likely to avoid spoiling its identity as Star Dream Soul OS, a much more difficult version of the original Final Boss that's exclusive to this mode.

While the Chinese Emperors in Crusader Kings II have names, every other stat is a question mark. They're so distant, so aloof from the petty squabbles of the barbarian West, and possessed of such a massive realm that all that matters is their representative in the Western Protectorate.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there are enemies in Gwarhar Lagoon whose initial form is a shark fin poking out of the sand, with its name listed as "????". This is because there are actually two different enemies this could potentially be, and until the enemy pops out of the sand and shows their body when attacking, they look the same. One of them has the official name Sharkbone, while the other is a Blurp with a shark fin strapped on its back. They also regularly shuffle themselves on the battlefield, so you have to keep track of which is which to know whether to jump or not when they attack.
