Meet the crowd.

Eight daily ways to play

Alongside the original Most People game, our collection includes Sudoku, Word Trail, Country Mini, Fact or Fiction, Which Country?, Then vs Now and Finish the Crowd. Pick any game from the Games menu. Each has a daily puzzle and access to past dates.

• Sudoku: complete the 9×9 grid so each row, column and 3×3 box contains 1–9. Every prepared puzzle has one solution. Check, hints and reset are available.
• Word Trail: find the five-letter word in five guesses. The middle letter is given; coloured feedback shows correct letters and positions.
• Country Mini: solve five crossing clues. Portugal, UK and Spain have local editions with English clues; other selections use the World edition.
• Fact or Fiction: find the invented statement among two sourced truths. Three rounds, with explanations and source links after each reveal.
• Which Country?: match three geographical and dated statistical clues to a country. Capital references are cross-checked with Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional.
• Then vs Now: predict whether a real World Bank percentage rose, fell or stayed within two percentage points between two stated years. A World edition appears when a complete country schedule is unavailable.
• Finish the Crowd: choose the leading sentence completion in a clearly labelled generated starter crowd. These distributions are game data, not a survey.

The additional games save progress in this browser and do not add to Most People votes, streaks or rankings. Daily combinations vary; individual facts and crossword answers can recur. Sources appear with the factual answers so you can explore them.

Your answer is only half the game

Do you finish the last bite? Leave messages unread? Prefer a quiet night in? Choose what you would actually do, then guess how many people in your selected country chose the same option. You’re predicting the crowd, not hunting for a correct personal answer.

How the score works

Each prediction falls into one of four ranges: under 25%, 25% to under 50%, 50% to under 75%, or 75% and above. Matching the result’s range earns one point and a green square. A neighbouring range gets a yellow square; a more distant guess gets a dark square. A perfect day is five out of five.

We compare with your chosen country when there are enough answers, or with the world if only that comparison is available. If neither is available, the card is marked as too early to score.

A small crowd needs a starting point

Early comparisons can include 75 generated starter answers. These are artificial game data, not a survey of real people, and results clearly label them “Starter data”. Country and world starting distributions are generated separately; they are not evidence about a country’s actual habits.

Each comparison uses only genuine answers once it reaches 50 genuine responses. Until then, when starter data is enabled, it combines those responses with the generated baseline. Even real responses come from people who choose to play, not a representative population sample.

One day, more than one perspective

A new game arrives each day. You can correct your personal choice before submitting its prediction. Once the result is revealed, that card is locked, but you can go back and review it. Trying another country carries your personal choices across and lets you make new predictions. Only the first country round is eligible to add votes and contribute to the country rankings; rounds using generated country data don’t contribute to those rankings.

Past games are practice rounds. They save their own scores without adding votes or changing your daily streak or rankings.

A little curiosity on the side

During the game, “Did you know?” pairs a fact with a playful line and a source link. The joke is ours; the link lets you explore the underlying fact.
