How to play Apartmentdle

Apartmentdle is a daily game about rent prices. Each day you see three real apartment listings from the United States and try to guess what each one rents for per month.

Clues for each guess

1. For your first guess, you see one listing photo.
2. After a wrong first guess, you get a second photo and the apartment's state and country.
3. After a wrong second guess, you get a third photo and the number of beds and baths.

You can flip between the photos you have so far with the arrows on the picture. When an apartment ends, the game shows the real rent and all three photos.

How to enter a guess

Type a monthly rent in dollars or drag the slider, which runs from $300 to $15,000. You can't enter the same number twice for one apartment.

How close you need to be

A guess is correct if it is within 10% of the listed rent, either above or below. For an apartment listed at $2,000 a month, any guess from $1,800 to $2,200 is correct.

Hints after a wrong guess

The game shows whether the rent is higher or lower than your guess, along with a label for how close you were.

• Warm means your guess was within 25% of the rent.
• Cool means your guess was within 50% of the rent.
• Cold means your guess was more than 50% off.

Scores and streaks

Your score for the day is the number of apartments you found, from 0 to 3. A day counts once you finish all three apartments. Your streak goes up each day you find at least one apartment, and it resets if you find none or skip a day.

After the third apartment, you can share a summary of your results. The summary leaves out the rents and your guesses, so it won't spoil the game for anyone else.

When new apartments appear

Three new apartments appear at midnight in your time zone. Everyone gets the same three apartments on the same calendar date. Your progress and stats are saved in your browser, as the Privacy Policy explains.
