Decode the Dashboard
One question, a grid of charts measuring different things — only one of them can actually answer it, and you have to click the proving point.
How to play
Each round poses a question and shows a dashboard of several charts covering different metrics. Most are distractors that look relevant but track the wrong thing. Find the one chart whose metric matches the question, then click the specific bar or point that proves the answer before the timer runs out.
- A run is five rounds; faster correct picks score more.
- Clicking the right chart but the wrong point still misses — precision counts.
- Time up on a round counts as a miss.
Controls
- Desktop: hover to highlight a data point, then click to lock your answer.
- Phone & tablet: tap a data point to select it (a mouse is smoother for hover-scanning).
Game modes
- Daily and Practice modes, each with Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty that change how many charts and how convincing the distractors are.
Tips & strategy
- Read the question for the exact metric word, then ignore every chart not measuring it.
- Scan chart titles before reading any bars to eliminate distractors fast.
