ish is a daily trivia-style game that asks you to estimate the percentage value for five questions each day. For each question you move a single slider between 0 and 100 percent and submit your gut estimate. The real answer and its source are shown after you answer, and you can see how close you were.
Scoring in ish awards 100 points per question and subtracts three points for every percentage point you miss the true value by. The site encourages no searching or calculators and tracks a streak when you play consecutive daily games. Past games are moved to an archive the day after they run but archived plays do not extend your streak.
How to play ish
- Open ish and click Play to start the daily set of five questions.
- Read the question and use the slider to select a percentage between 0 and 100.
- Submit your estimate; the game then reveals the true percentage and the source cited.
- Repeat for all five questions, watch your running score, and share your result if you wish.
Tips for ish
- Use the 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 marks on the slider as anchors for rough calibration before fine-tuning your estimate.
- When unsure, avoid extreme values unless the question implies a near-certain proportion; midrange guesses often reduce large point losses.
- Pay attention to the revealed sources after each question to learn how similar future questions might be framed and improve intuition.
