Price guessing game online: how to play with friends

How a price guessing game works

You see a product and guess its price. The closer you get, the more points you score. In Waskostas each round shows a product from Amazon, say a tech gadget, a kitchen helper, a toy or a piece of sports gear, and you have 15 seconds to type your guess on the keypad.

A guess earns up to 100 points. Hit the price exactly and you get all of them; the further off you are, the fewer you get. After each round the real price is revealed with the product, and in a multiplayer game you also see who got closest.

Why it works so well with friends

Everyone has a chance at price guessing. You need a feel for what things cost, and that feel differs wildly from person to person. The bargain hunter, the tech fan and the friend who never looks at price tags all guess differently, so the reveals stay entertaining.

• There are no rules to explain: look, guess, done.
• Rounds last 15 seconds, so the pace stays high.
• Surprising prices start conversations ("Who pays that much for a garlic press?").
• You come across products you didn't know existed.

How to play Waskostas with friends

Waskostas runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so you can start without downloading anything.

• Open waskostas.app and create a lobby. This needs a free account; signing in with an email code takes a few seconds.
• Pick a category, or mix them all, and choose 3, 5 or 10 rounds.
• Share the invite link, the 6-character lobby code or the QR code. Friends can join as guests without signing up.
• Start the game once everyone is ready. All players guess the same product at the same time.
• After the last round the podium shows the winner, and a recap lists every product with its price.

Solo, against friends or on the leaderboard

You can also play alone to warm up. Every game counts toward the weekly and all-time leaderboards, either against everyone or only against the friends you have played with. Achievements reward bullseyes (a guess within 1 % of the price), quick guesses, daily streaks and wins.
