Five real-world questions a day. Instead of guessing a number, you drag two brackets to trap it in a range — a narrow range that hits scores big, a miss scores zero, so honest calibration is the winning strategy. Streaks, an emoji share grid, challenge-a-friend links, and stats that show whether your confidence matches reality. Free, no accounts, no tracking, works offline as an installable app. A one-time Pro unlock ($6.99 launch price) adds unlimited practice and the full archive.

Hi Product Hunt! I built Ballpark because trivia games reward knowing facts, but nothing rewards knowing *how well* you know them — which is the more useful skill. The mechanic comes from calibration training used by professional forecasters: give an interval, get scored on narrowness vs. hits. Most players discover they're overconfident within a week, and the stats screen shows your "trap rate" against the ideal band.
It's five questions a day, same for everyone, with streaks, an emoji share grid, and challenge links so a friend plays the exact same puzzle against your score. Zero-dependency vanilla JS, no backend, no accounts — the daily puzzle derives from your local date.
Launch story I'm weirdly proud of: last week players found a scoring bug where the display rounded differently than the scoring engine. I fixed it same-day, made their exact screenshots into permanent regression tests, and comped them Pro. A game about being right has to hold itself to that standard.
Happy to answer anything about the scoring design or the adversarial fact-checking pipeline behind the questions.

One proof point I have to share: last week The Hustle featured Ballpark in their newsletter and ~7,000 readers showed up. About 70% of people who start the five questions finish all five, and watching readers fire challenge links at their coworkers was the best day of the project.
