Guess the Bus

Every day, one London bus route appears on the map — its shape traced across the city, its number hidden. The same route for everyone, everywhere, that day. You get three guesses to work out which one it is. This is a game of deduction, not memory. You don't need to know the number. You need to read the shape: where it starts, where it ends, how it crosses the river, whether it hugs a main road or wanders through the suburbs. Every wrong guess is drawn on the map beside the answer, so you can see exactly how close you were and narrow it down from there. THE SAME PUZZLE AS EVERYONE ELSE Today's route is today's route, wherever you are. Finish it and share your score — the day number and how many guesses it took, and nothing that gives the answer away. Whoever you send it to can still play it themselves.
