Guessing games

Guess my number

I'm thinking of a number. Guess it, and I'll tell you higher or lower. Can you find it in the fewest tries?

How to play

  1. Step 1: The secret number is somewhere in the range. Type your guess.

  2. Step 2: You'll hear 'higher' or 'lower'. The number line shrinks to what is left.

  3. Step 3: At the end, see how the 'always guess the middle' trick works.

What it practises

Guess my number practises number sense and place value, and introduces binary search — halving what is left each time — one of the first big ideas of computer science.

Is it free?
