Estimate: Launched it today. A number guessing game!
Hey PH! 👋
I built a daily number puzzle game called 'Estimate', and I'm kind of nervous about this post because now you'll all know how bad I am at guessing things.
The concept is simple: one real-world question per day, you guess the numeric answer, and a heat meter tells you if you're freezing cold or burning hot. Up to 6 guesses.
Example: "How many times does the average person check their phone per day?"
I guessed 30. The answer is 96. I own two phones.
That gap between what you think you know and what's actually true is what makes this addictive. Every question is a little humbling in the best way possible.
No email needed. No password. Just pick a username and play. It takes about 2 minutes and will make you question everything you thought you knew about bees, falcons, and the speed of sneezes.
If you liked Wordle but wished it was about numbers instead of words, this one's for you.
Would love any feedback from the PH community. Go easy on me; it's launch day!

This looks like a really fun daily challenge! The idea of guessing real-world numbers and seeing how off you are is a cool way to highlight those knowledge gaps.
If you're up for it, I'm launching The Sponge on PH soon...would appreciate a follow (See "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" Link in my profile). It's an AI flashcard app that turns any webpage into spaced repetition study material.
