The Higher or Lower Game: Daily Game

About The Higher or Lower Game: Daily Game

The Higher or Lower Game is a long-running comparison game on the web and in apps, in which two pictures sit side by side and you choose the one with more Google searches, more Spotify listeners, a higher IMDb rating and so on. Its Daily Game turns that into one shared challenge a day.

Each numbered Daily Game has five rounds, and each round draws on a different category from the game's list, which includes richest celebrities, country population and size, box office, best-selling video games, YouTube subscribers, house prices and Amazon prices. Every round has five questions, so a perfect day is 25 out of 25.

At the end you see your final score and where it sits among the day's players, from the top 1 percent down, with a result to share. The game keeps a daily streak, and a free account adds your name to the leaderboards and syncs scores across devices; you can also continue as a guest. The challenge resets at midnight.

It suits anyone who likes the classic higher or lower format but wants a fixed, comparable set of questions instead of an endless run.

Tips

• Read the category for each round carefully: searches, ratings and sales reward different instincts.
• Older and global items often beat recent or local ones on totals like plays and box office.
• Your first instinct on fame is not always right for net worth or ratings.
