Same Street

Same Street is a daily game from Logicers, the small site behind 100 of Us. Each day it shows one real home in three photos: the outside, the place where the family cooks and the place where they sleep. Your job is to judge how much each adult in that home has to live on in a month, by placing it on a street of 100 houses sorted from poorest to richest.

The street runs from about $25 to about $15,000 a month per adult, in US dollars adjusted for local prices, and every step multiplies the amount by the same factor, so the middle of the street is far below the middle of the dollar range. The game is careful to say this is what each adult can spend or use, not a salary. When you tap See where it is, the true house appears with the family's figure, the photographer's name and a link to visit them on Dollar Street.

The photos come from Dollar Street, a Gapminder project whose families agreed to be photographed, used under a CC-BY licence; the game notes that Dollar Street does not endorse it. There is no login, tracking or cookies: your streak and your album of homes stay in your browser. Practice lets you play yesterday's home if you missed it. It does not count for your streak or your album.
