I was playing the "Future" section and put "Milliway's" from The Hitchhiker's Guide series when it asked for a fictional restaurant; it only gave me 10 points and said it was from 70s. Milliways is very explicitly positioned in time at the end of the universe, so I should've been awarded maximum points there :)

This was so fun! What a delight, thank you.
After the first round I wanted to keep playing, so habitually I just tapped whichever button that most closely resembled ‘play again’, and it took me a couple questions to understand that it was a different mode. Maybe putting “type the OLDEST answer”, or “the deepest cut” above the prompt box would help.
Also the model’s feedback was surprisingly astute! I expected “incorrect”, but got “Help was a top-selling Beatles album, but it sold under 20 million copies.” Love learning during games.
Great work, the lot of you!

Fun game! But it looks like matching has a bug:
The question was "Name something that's expensive when travelling" in the most common answer category.
I wrote "tickets", meaning plane tickets, and it categorized my answer as "Entrance fees (you)" instead of the top answer of "Plane ticket".

Love the "what none do" twist, I bet my first instinct would always be the most popular answer. Is it the same question for everyone each day?

Plenty of good answers were rejected, especially where typos were concerned. On the coffee shop question, CK's coffee shop wasn't found and Waffle House was rejected, but Paul's was a top answer? Paul's also serves breakfast food. Seems arbitrary. Memphis Colosseum was rejected probably because the proper spelling is Coliseum. But how could it not find it from "Memphis Colosseum"? It's easily found (and the spelling corrected) in Google Search.

Lots of fun, but one really annoying bug that makes it hard to play: anytime I have an answer that isn’t accepted, and then go to type in a new answer, the keyboard completely covers the text box which makes it impossible to delete or edit the previous answer! Safari on IOS 26.6.2

I love that I could justify my answer to it - spoiler below
I chose CompuServe for oldest file sharing service, and it told me that it was an online service not a cloud file hosting service. I then answered "CompuServe had file sharing" and I received 100pts

The agent is too helpful, I got away with stuff like "The one with the southmost shinkansen" for rarest Japanese city, which it substituted for the answer to that (which I didn't know)

Just tried this on my phone and had fun. Got 260/700 in Sky — somehow “peanuts” and “Michael Jackson” were my only perfect answers lol.

Are there no accounts? Can I not continue playing on a different PC?

I'm sorry but is this not just another AI remake of a very common game type?
I recall playing an identical game a few months ago, also on the HN front page.
love it, the sound effects make it feel so immersive

Most wonderful fact is that 55% of people dream of visiting Paris. Of course living just next to Paris puts a damper to any desire to visit

I love the visual aesthetic. Fun idea!

Rarest is terrible. I absolutely know that baked ube is a street food, and way less likely to be guessed than Udon, and yet I'm penalized for nobody else guessing it yet?
I didn't even play latest and oldest, because that's just a guessing game.
