Ubiquitous

Say what everyone says: a game about thinking like the crowd.

Live: https://ubiquitous.solhann.net Gallery: https://create.solhann.net

How it works

Five random prompts a game ("Name a fruit", "Something that is everywhere", …). Your score for a round is the share of everyone's answers to that prompt that match yours, so the most common answer wins. Answers are folded together lightly: case, punctuation, a leading "a"/"the", and singular/plural ("Apples!" counts as apple).

The crowd lives in this app's PocketBase: answers and scores, both locked, reached only through the routes in pb_hooks/main.pb.js (/api/ubiq/prompts, /answer, /finish). The prompts and the scoring are in pb_hooks/ubiq.js. A migration seeds a starting crowd of about 1,450 guessed answers so the first game has something to match.
