Guess My Number rules
Higher, lower, or exactly right.
Objective
Everyone picks a secret whole number inside the host's allowed range. The server stores those numbers — other players never see them until the round ends.
You submit guesses on your turn only — play moves clockwise in join order. After each guess you get a hint: higher, lower, or exact.
First correct guess wins the round.
Lobby
- The host chooses a game mode and sets the min–max range. Changing the range clears locked numbers.
- Players join with a name. Each player enters their number and taps Lock my number.
- When the mode's requirements are met and everyone has locked, the host starts the round.
Mode: 1v1
Exactly two players. The room accepts no one else after both seats are taken.
You always guess the other player's number — there is no target picker.
Win: the first player to guess the opponent's number correctly wins the round.
Mode: Race by all
3–12 players. Share the room link until enough people join.
On your turn, choose whose number you are trying to hit (you cannot pick yourself). Hints apply to that guess against that person's secret.
Win: the first player to land a correct guess on any opponent's number wins the round — everyone's numbers are then revealed.
After the round
When someone wins, all locked numbers are shown so you can compare notes. Use Play again to return to the lobby.
Fair play
- Don't share your number before the round ends.
- Don't use multiple devices to spy on the same room.
- Have fun — it's a party game.
