Roughly
Roughly is a daily guessing game where you make a single numeric estimate for one of ten puzzles each day by dragging to set a value, then reveal the true number.
Play RoughlyA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Roughly offers ten short, daily guessing games that ask you to estimate a single numeric answer from trivia or everyday quantities. Each puzzle presents a prompt such as a height, count, or percentage, and you set your estimate with a single drag gesture before locking it in and seeing the real value.
The interface is gesture-driven: drag up or down to change the numeric guess, then tap Lock it in to submit. The page shows units like centimeters and feet/inches, an option to Skip, and links labeled Napkin math and wikipedia that act as supporting sources for the puzzle context.
Roughly keeps your choice on the device after you set it, and offers a Challenge a friend option to invite someone else to try the same puzzle. The game emphasizes quick estimation and immediate feedback rather than multiple guesses or rounds.
How to play Roughly
- Open Roughly and read the daily prompt that asks for a numeric estimate.
- Use a vertical drag gesture to increase or decrease the numeric value shown.
- Watch the display for the units provided, such as cm or ft/in, to match your estimate to the prompt.
- Tap Lock it in to submit your single guess for that puzzle.
- View the revealed true number and any linked sources like Napkin math or wikipedia.
- Optionally tap Challenge a friend to invite someone else to estimate the same puzzle.
Tips for Roughly
- Match your guess to the units shown before locking in to avoid unit mismatch errors.
- Use quick, large drags to get near the right order of magnitude, then smaller adjustments for precision.
- When a prompt gives a relative phrase like on average or 1 of me, translate it into the numeric form the game displays before guessing.
- If you want to compare reasoning, open the Napkin math or wikipedia links provided after you submit to see background numbers and refine future estimates.
