Guesstimation - Cheatwell Games

Guesstimation is designed for 2 or more players. The more players, the more varied the guesses and the more lively the competition.

No, absolutely not! The game is built around making educated guesses. Knowing the exact answer is not required and often, the best guess is closer than a wild guess.

The game features a variety of fun, intriguing, and sometimes absurd questions that require numerical estimations. Examples include "How many hairs are on a typical cat?" or "What is the depth of the Mariana Trench in feet?"

Players win by guessing the closest numerical answer to a question without going over, or by having the smallest margin of error depending on the agreed-upon rules. The specific scoring can be adapted by the players.

While it involves seeking numerical answers, it's not a traditional trivia game. It focuses on estimation skills rather than factual recall.

Yes, Guesstimation is suitable for children, especially older children and teenagers, as it relies on logic and estimation rather than complex knowledge.

A game's length can vary depending on how many rounds are played or if a target score is set. Individual rounds are quick, making it flexible for different time constraints.

Reread the question aloud, or have another player clarify their interpretation of the question's scope.

Reiterate that the goal is to be the closest guess, not necessarily the factually correct one. The game master can look up the answer after all guesses are in.

If playing multiple games, shuffle the cards thoroughly and reuse them. Consider creating your own 'guesstimations' based on the game's style.

After all guesses are submitted, the designated answer-keeper reveals the true answer. Players then calculate the absolute difference between their guess and the true answer. The player with the smallest difference wins the round.
