Orbit 100 in play: the topic Tallest completed buildings in the world (2026), five aliens in a snowy valley, an empty five-slot score tray, timer bar and answer box

Orbit 100 is a daily list game. Each day a topic is backed by a hidden Top 100 ranked by real data, and you get five guesses, 20 seconds each, to name things on it. An answer scores its rank, so #100 is worth 100 points and #1 only 1, but anything off the list scores nothing.

About Orbit 100

Orbit 100 gives everyone the same hidden Top 100 each day, ranked by real data. The topic appears in a banner at the top of the screen once you start; on the day this page was written it was the tallest completed buildings in the world. Each game is numbered as a Daily Run.

The twist is in the scoring. Every answer you name scores its rank on the list, so the most famous entry, #1, earns a single point, while #100 earns 100. Name something too obscure, though, and it is not on the list at all and scores zero. The best answers sit near the bottom of the list, on it but only just.

The game is dressed as a rescue: five aliens are stranded in a snowy valley and each answer launches one back towards its home station. A meter on the left shows how high it flies, with marks at #15, #50 and #90, and an answer off the list sends the alien past home into a black hole. You get 20 seconds for each of the five guesses, and the search box offers suggestions, some of which are not on the list.

When you finish you can open the full list, see your total against the share of other players you beat, and compare with friends on today, week and friends tabs. First-time players get a practice run on a list voted on by the aliens, and an archive holds earlier days, though archive games do not count towards stats. You can play as a guest or sign in with Google to keep a streak across devices.

Tips

  • Skip the first thing that comes to mind: the most famous answers sit near #1 and score very little.
  • Aim for answers you are fairly sure of but that few people would name, since off-list answers score nothing.
  • Watch the clock: you have 20 seconds a guess, so have a second answer ready if the first is not in the suggestions.
  • Use the practice run to learn the scoring before your first daily game.
