Dot Tally

Dots stream across the screen for a couple of seconds. Guess how many went by, close enough to pass. Ten difficulty steps, and the dots change every day.

How to play Dot Tally

1. Watch the stream of dots cross the screen.
2. Drag left or right to set your guess, then tap “Lock in”.
3. On difficulty 5 you need to be within 20% of the real number to go on, over five rounds from 8 dots to 80.
4. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: more rounds, more dots and a tighter margin. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Counting one by one only works for the first round. After that, count in clusters of five.
• Big dots aren’t worth more. Try not to let size sway your guess.
• Your score is your average error, so close guesses on the easy rounds count too.
• Everyone gets the same dots all day, and new ones at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh stream any time, off the leaderboard.
