Do you think you can predict how successfull a product will be?
Try to guess the number of upvotes of random Product Hunt products.
You can also hunt for random products.

I would suggest you filter out projects with less than a certain threshold of points. I would consistently score over 4700 (my best being in the high 4800s) by just guessing 4 or 5 without looking. Fun idea, just needs a bit of refinement!

@chris_germano Good point. I wanted to pick from the whole variety of products including those that have just a few upvotes, but you are right that most products do not reach more than 5 upvotes. I am just thinking about partitioning the products by the number of upvotes into 5 groups and choose 1 product randomly from each group. Thank you for such a great suggestion Chris.

@janzikan Good thinking, that could work with the right randomization. I don't know how much work it would be, but it could be fun to have a mode where you see five products and five scores and you need to match them all. Just a thought. Good luck!

@chris_germano Great idea. Unfortunately this would require a lot of changes, so maybe I will implement this as alternative version of this game.

@janzikan All good! Just sharing my two cents (if you really perfect the gameplay you could even abstract it to work with additional sites eg. Reddit). Anyway, good luck!

The Product Hunt Game was created for the Makers Festival "API Edition". I will be happy, if you try it out and vote for it if you find it interesting. https://www.producthunt.com/make...
