Curator (Mind Loft)
Rate itGuess what a luxury piece or auction lot cost, in three tries.
on mindloftdaily.com
Curator is a free daily price game from Mind Loft. Each day shows one luxury piece, either a lot sold at auction (priced with the buyer's premium) or a luxury item at its list price, and you have three guesses at the price. The first guess is worth up to 10 points, the second up to 6 and the third up to 3.
About Curator (Mind Loft)
Curator is the high-end member of Mind Loft's price-guessing family. The day's card shows a single piece with a photo, a name and a few details: on some days it is an artwork or object sold at auction, with the price including the buyer's premium; on others it is a luxury item, such as a jewellery piece at its retail price on the maker's site, with the date it was priced.
You type a dollar figure (shorthand such as 45k or 2.5m works) and get three tries. Each guess comes back marked higher or lower and hot or cold. Your first guess is worth up to 10 points, the second up to 6 and the third up to 3, so your first read counts most; a guess within 1 percent counts as a bullseye. On the leaderboard, ties break on how close you got, then fewer guesses, then time.
Curator is the fifth game in Price Check, Mind Loft's circuit that plays Pricer, Dealer, Realtor, Agent and Curator back to back for a score out of 50. It suits people who follow auctions or luxury brands, and anyone curious about how far apart a guess and the real price can be.
How to play Curator (Mind Loft)
- Open Curator and press Start; the clock starts when you do.
- Look at the piece and read whether it is an auction result or a list price.
- Type your price and press Enter.
- Use the higher or lower and hot or cold feedback to narrow your next guess; you have three, worth up to 10, 6 and 3 points, and your best one counts.

Tips
- Auction prices include the buyer's premium, so they run higher than the hammer price you may have read about.
- Make your first guess count: it is worth up to 10 points, against 6 and 3 for the later ones, so think about the order of magnitude before you type.
- Shorthand like 120k or 1.5m saves time on big numbers.
