## What is MindNumb?

One of you picks a number in secret. The other has to guess which one.

MindNumb is a two-player game of bluffing, nerve and knowing exactly how your friend thinks. Every turn is a tiny duel: will they go for the big number, or play it safe? Do they think you'll see it coming?

HOW IT PLAYS
• A board of glowing circles, each hiding a number from 1 to 9.
• The picker chooses one of the circles in play, in secret. The guesser names the one they think it is.
• Guess right and you score its number, and it's your turn to pick.
• Guess wrong and the picker scores it, and picks again.
• Win rounds in a row and your points multiply.
• A few times a game, Double your pick: whoever wins that round scores twice.

The numbers are never hidden. The only secret is which one your friend chose. That's the whole game, and it never gets old.

PLAY FRIENDS, AT YOUR OWN PACE
Invite a friend with a link or a four-letter code and play on your own phones. Take your turn whenever you like; a notification tells you when it's your move. Keep several games going at once, or find a new opponent who's looking for a game.

THE DAILY BOARD
One board a day, the same for everyone, against the computer. One try. See where you land on the leaderboard and share your board without spoiling it.

PRACTICE AGAINST THE COMPUTER
Learn the ropes against a computer that plays like a person: it takes its time, mixes things up, and sometimes bluffs.

KNOW YOUR RIVALS
Every friend gets a rivalry page: your record together, your games, how you play, and your tell, the habit that gives you away. (It never shows how they play. Reading them is the game.)

QUICK, STANDARD OR LONG
Three board sizes, from a game of a few minutes to a long contest.

CALM BY DESIGN
A night-sky board drawn in light, soft bell-like sounds and ambient music for every game. No ads. No chat. No tracking.

FOR EVERYONE
Play the whole game with VoiceOver. Mark the other player's stones for telling colors apart, and turn on Reduce Motion or Increase Contrast and MindNumb follows.

FREE TO START
Practice and the daily board are always free, and so is joining a friend's game. Start 10 online games free, then unlock unlimited games with a one-time purchase. No subscription.

Made by one indie developer. Thank you for playing.
