Best Guess Live is the social trivia game for people who hate memorizing dates and middle names. It’s a brilliant equalizer; you don't need to know exactly how many gallons of water are in the ocean, you just need to be closer than your opponent. This shift from 'Recall' to 'Estimation' makes it a much more accessible and high-energy party game. You aren't punished for not knowing an obscure fact; you're rewarded for having good intuition.
The 'Live' element is executed perfectly. Playing in real-time against a global lobby adds a thrill that a static quiz simply can't match. The UI is incredibly clean, using a simple slider for your guesses that feels tactile and responsive. The variety of categories—from geography to pop culture and weird science—ensures that everyone has a chance to shine. It’s a smart, social, and fast-paced experience that turns every match into a hilarious debate about 'how big things actually are.' It’s the perfect digital companion for game nights.

Compete for a chance to win real money in this live mobile game every weekday. Use your smarts and five clever clues to submit the right answer first.
On "Best Guess Live," anyone can win. You just need one right answer at the right moment to claim your share of a prize money jackpot worth thousands. Get ready to think fast, because you'll be in a nationwide race to be one of the first to figure out the riddle.
A NEW DAILY ROUTINE
The game streams live in the app every weekday (Monday through Friday) at 8 PM ET | 5PM PT. The broadcast is in English, and the game is open to players anywhere in the United States.
FUN FACTS; REAL MONEY
Got a brain packed with random trivia? Put it to good use: For each round, you'll need to figure out what secret item is hidden inside a misty and mysterious crystal ball. It could be a person, place, or thing — anything!
THINK IN RIDDLES
For each round, you'll get a series of five clues hinting at the answer. Every clue will build on the previous ones, starting out cryptic and gradually getting more obvious. After each clue, you'll have time to submit an answer. But don't risk it until you think you're right, since you only get one chance per round.
BE FAST TO BE FIRST
The sooner you get the answer, the better your odds of winning. Everyone who gets the correct answer on the earliest clue for a round will evenly split the jackpot. For example, if no one gets it after the first clue, and then you're one of three people to get it after the second clue, you'll get 1/3 of the prize.
TWO CHANCES TO WIN
Each livestream includes two rounds, and the second will be harder than the first — with a bigger prize to match. If the first crystal ball mystery stumped you, jump back in and try again!
