Overbid
Overbid: a daily game where you bid on numbers, like how many tennis balls fit in a shipping container. Raise while you're under, but go over and you score zero. Play solo or online with friends. Free, no account.
What is Overbid?
Overbid is a daily number game where you try to guess hidden quantities without going over. Each day presents six questions, and you bid on numbers you think are lower than the actual answer. The closer you get without exceeding it, the more points you earn.
Editor takes
Overbid's a perfect coffee-break brain teaser—six quick bids, no account, and you can play with a friend in seconds.
The cube scoring rewards boldness, but the hidden answer and 'over is zero' make it a brutal test of calibration.
How to play Overbid
Before seeing a question, you choose 1, 2, or 3 bids, with fewer bids giving a higher multiplier. Then you submit a number you believe is under the hidden answer. You can bank your points or raise your bid, but any bid above the answer loses the round.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a conservative bid to secure points, then push higher if you're confident.
- Use fewer bids for a bigger multiplier, but only if you're comfortable with the risk.
- Remember that the scoring formula rewards closeness, so stopping early gives small returns.
- Consider the context of the question (e.g., volume, distance) to make a rough estimate.
- If you're unsure, bank early rather than risk going over.
