Higher or Lower guide

Goal

Guess which of two things has the bigger number behind it.

How to play

• Two items are shown side by side. One has its figure revealed, the other is hidden.
• Choose whether the hidden one is higher or lower.
• A correct guess continues the streak and brings up the next pairing.
• One wrong guess ends the run.

Categories

You pick one before you start: Wikipedia page views, Spotify follower counts, film ratings on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb, or Reddit subscriber counts. The quantities are heavily skewed - a handful of entries are orders of magnitude above the rest - so the median entry is far smaller than the famous examples suggest.

Scoring

• Your score is the length of your streak.
• Close calls are the ones that end runs; when two items feel comparable it is close to a coin flip.
