Game of thumbs

What is Game of thumbs?

Game of Thumbs is a daily puzzle game that pits two YouTube videos from the same channel and month against each other. Your task is to correctly guess which of the two videos has accumulated more views. Each day offers five duels, with a ten-second timer for each pick.

Five ten-second duels a day is exactly the kind of bite-sized fun that makes a bus ride fly by.

The same-channel, same-month constraint keeps it fair, but ten seconds is barely enough time to weigh the real variables.

As someone who's watched every frame of a director's early work, I love that this game rewards knowing a channel's hidden gems.

The name's a pun, the rules are clear, and the daily five-duel format is a tidy little puzzle that satisfies like a well-turned clue.

How to play Game of thumbs

You are shown two videos from the same channel and month. Tap the video you believe has the higher view count before the clock runs out. Complete all five duels to see your daily score.

Tips & strategy

• Consider the video's age; older videos generally have more time to accumulate views.
• Think about the content type—tutorials, music videos, or viral topics often outperform standard uploads.
• Look at the thumbnail and title for clickability clues, though the game compares views at the same age.
• Use the endless mode to practice and get a feel for typical view-count patterns.
