Closest Wins — the guess-the-number game
How tall is the Statue of Liberty? What year did the first Super Bowl happen? Nobody knows exactly — so the closest guess wins. Perfect between trivia rounds or as a tiebreaker. Playing in teams? Everyone guesses and the team plays its middle guess.
How to play Closest Wins
- The host reads a question with a number answer.
- Type your best guess on your phone and lock it in — "1,250", "3.5" or "2k" all work.
- Closest guess scores the most, 2nd and 3rd score too. Nail it exactly for a bonus!
- Price is Right rule (if the host turns it on): go over and you score nothing.
- Team vote: everyone on the team guesses; the team plays the middle (median) guess.
