Knob to turn

For questions whose answer is a number. Players dial in the value they think is right.

Describe your game: the assistant builds it, you fine-tune it.

How it works

The knob is built for numeric answers: a percentage, a distance, a temperature, a lead time. Players set the value on a scale you define.

Estimating a number makes people think about its order of magnitude, and the gap from the right answer often sticks better than an explanation. You decide whether you want the exact value or a range. The AI assistant can build this step from a description.

For the player

1Players see the value in large type with its unit, and the scale from lowest to highest.
2They drag the control, or press minus and plus to move one notch. Holding a button keeps the value moving.
3They submit. If they're outside the accepted range, they can try again as long as they have tries left.

What you set

Set the scale: minimum, maximum and step size (1, 5, 0.5...).
Add a unit shown after the number, like %, °F, mi or lb.
Enter the right answer and the accepted range. To require the exact value, give both ends the same number.
Set tries, points, the timer, hints, and whether the correct answer appears after a miss.

Ideas for using it

Key figures
Have new hires estimate headcount, number of sites or countries during onboarding.
Safety rules
How far to stay from a forklift, how fast to drive on site?
Environmental impact
Ask players to guess the share of emissions that comes from travel or IT.
Product training
Battery life, capacity, delivery time: make the numbers that sell stick.
