Building GuessAnswer.com: A Fast, Simple, and Addictive Web Trivia Game

If you enjoy fast-paced trivia games that test not only your knowledge but also your instincts, you might like the project I recently launched: GuessAnswer.com
— a lightweight, browser-based game where your goal is simple: guess the most popular answers before your opponent does.

Unlike traditional trivia where accuracy is everything, GuessAnswer focuses on popularity-based guessing. Think of it as trying to predict what the majority would say, not necessarily what is objectively correct. This creates a fun mix of intuition, word association, and quick thinking.

Each round gives you a question like:
“Name something you keep in the fridge.”
“What do people usually do on weekends?”
“Name a popular dog breed.”

You type your guesses, and the game checks if your answer matches one of the top responses in the database.

If it does, you score points.
If not… well, you just learned something new.

The challenge lies in thinking like “the crowd.” Not what you know — but what most people tend to say.
