Plain
What is Plain?
Plain is a daily guessing game that challenges you to name the closest thing you know to each of seven targets. Each round takes seconds, and the full set of seven plays in about three minutes.
How to play Plain
Each day presents seven targets. For each one, you name the closest thing you know—a person, place, object, concept, or anything else that comes to mind—and your answer is judged on how near it lands. Good answers push your score higher, visualized as climbing a plane. The game tracks streaks across days, and an archive lets you revisit past rounds.
Tips & strategy
- Think broadly: the target could be anything, so a wide range of knowledge helps.
- Closeness matters more than exactness—a specific, well-chosen answer beats a vague one.
- Play all seven rounds in one sitting; the game is designed to be quick, around three minutes total.
