Agent (Mind Loft)

Rate it

Guess what a named flight or hotel stay costs, in three tries.

on mindloftdaily.com

Agent is a free daily price game from Mind Loft. Each day shows one trip, a specific flight with its airline, date, time and cabin, or a hotel stay, and you get three guesses at the quoted price. The first guess is worth up to 10 points, the second up to 6 and the third up to 3, and your best one counts.

About Agent (Mind Loft)

Agent is one of the price-guessing dailies on Mind Loft. The day's card names one trip in detail: for a flight that means the airline, the route, the day and date, the departure time, the cabin and whether it is nonstop or one way; on other days it is a night in a hotel. Below the card you type a dollar figure, and you have three tries to get close to the price Mind Loft was quoted.

Every guess comes back with an arrow saying higher or lower and a hot or cold reading, so the three tries work like a narrowing search. Each try is worth less than the one before: the first can score up to 10, the second up to 6 and the third up to 3, so a good first read matters most, and your best scoring guess counts. Landing within one percent counts as a bullseye. Because everyone gets the same trip, the leaderboard sorts players by score, then by how close the best guess was, then by fewer guesses and finally by time.

Agent is also one leg of Price Check, a Mind Loft circuit that plays Pricer, Dealer, Realtor, Agent and Curator one after another for a single score out of 50. It suits people who book their own travel and like to think they know what a business seat or a city hotel should cost.

How to play Agent (Mind Loft)

Open Agent on mindloftdaily.com and press Start; the clock begins when you do.
Read the trip card: airline, route, date, time and cabin for a flight, or the hotel and night for a stay.
Type a price and press Enter (shorthand like 45k or 2.5m works). Your first guess is worth up to 10 points.
Use the higher or lower arrow and the hot or cold reading to adjust your second guess (worth up to 6) and third (worth up to 3).
After three guesses your best scoring guess is your result for the day.

Tips

Cabin class moves the price far more than the route: a business or first seat can cost several times the economy fare.
Make your first guess a careful one: it is worth up to 10, while the later two are capped at 6 and 3.
Hot or cold tells you how near you are, so a cold reading after a small change means you need a much bigger jump.
