Hunch: Call the News

Hunch is a forecasting game. Every market is a yes-or-no question about the real world — tomorrow's weather, tonight's game, where a coin or a stock closes, what tops the charts, whether a rocket lifts off, how an election breaks — and every one settles itself from a public data source. Call it right and you earn points. There is nothing to spend, nothing to stake and nothing to lose. HOW IT PLAYS • Answer Yes or No on any market. Calls are unlimited and nothing is ever at stake. • A correct call pays points based on how likely the crowd thought it was. Following an 85% favourite pays about 46. Calling a 15% long shot pays about 216. • A wrong call costs nothing but your accuracy, so answer every question you have a view on. • The crowd percentage is the players' own view. Watch it move when news breaks. • When the source reports, the market settles itself and you collect your points. MARKETS THAT SETTLE THEMSELVES Weather highs, lows, rain, wind and air quality · MLB, NFL, NBA, college football, Premier League and more · Bitcoin, Ethereum and major coins · S&P 500, Nasdaq and big tech closes · App Store and Apple Music charts · rocket launches · GitHub milestones · CPI prints · geopolitics, elections and executive orders · who's trending on Wikipedia. MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Daily Five — five picks every day, points for each correct call, a bonus for a sweep. • Leagues — twelve-player monthly pools; the top three promote, the bottom three drop. • The Brief — short, readable stories written from the data behind each market. • A shop of cosmetic unlocks bought only with points: themes, icons, rings, banners, effects. No money, no wagering: nothing is staked, bought or paid out. Hunch has no in-app purchases and no currency. Points are a score with no cash value.
