🟥 within 10% · 🟧 within 25% · ⬜ further off
🎯 How it works
- Slide to your guess. The scale grows by factors rather than fixed steps, so 20 and 2 million fit on one line.
- Reveal: 🟥 means within 10%, 🟧 within 25%, ⬜ further off.
- Share your grid without the answers. Five new questions arrive at midnight, the same across Switzerland.
📚 Where the numbers come from
The pool holds 51 questions from 9 datasets. Every number comes from a dataset ConvivaPlus also analyses in an article, which explains how it is produced and what it does not say.

❓ Questions about Guess Switzerland
Where the questions come from, how scoring works and what happens to your answers.
From 9 datasets ConvivaPlus also shows on its canton pages and in articles: lakes and canton areas (swisstopo), municipalities (FSO), population, cities and cross-border commuters (FSO), plus at most one question a day on rent or health insurance (FSO, FOPH). No number is typed in by hand, every answer names its source and date.
Helpful?
Yes. The five questions depend only on the date (Swiss time) and change at midnight. Someone playing in French in Geneva gets the same questions as someone playing in German in Zurich, so grids can be compared.
Helpful?
What counts is the deviation as a percentage of the right answer: within 10% gives 🟥 bullseye, within 25% 🟧 close, anything else ⬜. The slider is logarithmic, so the same precision counts for 1.6 million and for 400 francs.
Helpful?
