Nearish
What is Nearish?
NEARISH is a daily estimation game that asks you to guess numeric answers to five questions. Each day brings a new set of prompts, and your score measures how close your estimates are to the correct answers.
A clean five-question structure, but I'd like the scoring criteria to be more transparent before I call it fair.
Five quick estimations and you're done — exactly the kind of brain tickle you can squeeze into a short break.
Five tries at 500 points is a neat daily puzzle, but I'll keep coming back only if there's something to chase.
It's not a film-buff deep cut, but as a daily between-episode ritual it's a charming little guessing game.
How to play Nearish
Read each of the five daily questions and enter a numeric estimate for each one. Your final score is based on how close each guess is, with a total possible score of 500 points.
Tips & strategy
- Think about the scale of plausible answers before committing to a number.
- Use real-world comparisons or known benchmarks to anchor your estimate.
- Don't rush—you only get five guesses per day, so take time with each one.
- If you're unsure, eliminate extreme highs and lows and aim for a sensible middle ground.
- Round numbers can help you stay flexible while you reason through a question.
