Ten calls on one number.
PlayHow to play
- Is the next country higher or lower?
- A wrong call doesn't end it.
- The last three count double.
Scoring
- One stat a day and eleven countries in a chain
- The left country's value is shown; call whether the right one is higher or lower
- The right country then becomes the next left card, whether you were right or wrong
- Calls 1 to 7 score 1 point and calls 8 to 10 score 2, so 13 is perfect and par is 9
- Practice is endless on any other stat, and one wrong call ends the streak
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. There is no login. Finish a daily game, then add a name to the leaderboard if you like.
What is Par?
Par 9 is a good score to aim for. It is a reference score, not another player.
When does the board reset?
New daily boards arrive at midnight in Europe/Berlin. Everyone gets the same boards.
Can I practice?
Yes. Practice gives you fresh boards and never changes the daily leaderboard.
How is Higher or Lower scored?
Calls 1 to 7 are worth 1 point and calls 8 to 10 are worth 2, so a perfect day is 13. A wrong call scores nothing but the run carries on to call 10.
Which stats appear?
One a day, rotating through population, total area, total GDP, GDP per person, life expectancy, urban share, internet use, forest cover and fertility, ranked over sovereign states from public sources such as the World Bank. Each statistic appears at least seven days apart. The game shows its dataset year.
