About Closest Guess
Closest Guess is the quiz where nobody needs to know the exact answer. Every question has a number as its answer: How many bones does a human have? How tall is the Eiffel Tower? What year did the first person walk on the Moon? Everyone writes a guess in secret, and whoever gets closest wins the points.
On the TV, all the guesses are placed on a number line, and finally the right answer slides in. That means laughs, arguments and surprised faces when someone hits it spot on. There are over 300 questions about geography, nature, the human body, space, sport and history.
Play with a TV and phones, where every player guesses on their own phone, or put one iPad on the table and take turns typing your guesses behind a cover screen.
How to play
- Choose TV + phones or One screen, and pick 10, 15 or 20 questions.
