A real airplane is crossing the map right now. Where is it going? WingIt shows you live US air traffic โ actual aircraft, actual positions, refreshed every few minutes. Each flight gives you its callsign, airline, altitude, speed, and heading. Your job: pick its ORIGIN โ DESTINATION from four options. HOW A GAME WORKS โข Five real flights per game โข Read the clues โ the nose and the map are your friends โข Call the route: one right answer, two tough decoys, one gift โข Correct guesses win the route's miles โ Correct guesses win the route's distance in miles โ longer flights are worth more โข Sweep all five and earn the water salute THE DETAILS AVGEEKS CARE ABOUT โข Every aircraft is genuinely airborne when you see it โ no replays, no fakes โข Routes come from community flight data and are only trusted when the live aircraft demonstrably fits them โข Every answer links to FlightAware, so you can check our work โข A boarding-pass results card built for bragging โ share your score Wordle-style โข Stats and history stay on your device, synced privately through your own iCloud NO NONSENSE No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing to buy. WingIt exists because volunteers put antennas on their roofs and share what they hear โ one of those antennas is ours. Positions come from adsb.lol, airplanes.live, and adsb.fi; routes from the Virtual Radar Server standing-data project. Thank you for keeping the game flying.
Minimum Effort

You have a job. You do not want to do it. Minimum Effort is a satirical workplace strategy game. Every workday runs from 09:00 to 17:00, and everything you can do with those 480 minutes trades three things against each other: the time it saves you, the output it actually produces, and how conspicuous it makes you. The goal is not to be good at your job. It is to find the least amount of work that survives. HOW A DAY WORKS โข Do the work, fake the work, or avoid it entirely. Looking busy covers part of a shortfall when the boss checks the deliverables. It never files the report. โข The boss patrols the floor. When he walks past in the middle of something you get a couple of seconds to look busy . and less time the hotter you already are. โข Repeat an act and it gets riskier every time. The fourth bathroom break is not the first bathroom break. โข Colleagues talk. Each one has their own trust in you and their own doubts, and a rumour that crosses the floor twice reaches the boss's office from a direction you were not watching. THE PEOPLE Your accomplice will cover for you. The overachiever notices an unearned win. The snitch keeps a note of when people leave their desk. The gossip has already told two other people. You can chat, delegate your work, ask somebody to cover, genuinely help them . or put your name on their work, which they never forget. PROMOTIONS ARE A TRAP Every rung on the ladder pays more and expects more. Getting promoted is easy. Staying just competent enough not to be fired, one rung higher, with a bigger quota and the same amount of effort . that is the game. FIVE CAREERS - Corporate. Easy. Meetings, decks and a quarterly review nobody reads. - Startup. Chaotic. Twelve people, no structure, and everybody notices everything. - Consulting. Medium. Frameworks, workstreams, and never being the one with the answer. - Investment banking. Extreme. Enormous money, enormous work, and an associate who never leaves. - Home office. Nobody can see you and everything is measured. The green dot is your new boss and it cannot be charmed. Corporate and Startup are included. Consulting and Investment Banking are unlocked together by the Career Pack. Home Office is its own pack. Both are one purchase each, not a subscription, nothing recurring, and either one removes the advertising. THE ONLY SCORE THAT MATTERS Total money earned, divided by hours you actually worked. Retire at the top of a ladder having been paid for years and worked for weeks, and the number on your record board will say so. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account and no sign-in. Your careers are saved on your device and nothing about them leaves it. It does show advertising, which Google's ad kit loads over the network, and either pack removes it. Minimum Effort is a work of satire. The offices, the colleagues and the careers are invented, and nothing in it is advice about a real job. Recommendations for our other apps load online.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WingIt at none against Minimum Effort's 1. WingIt also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
