Odds Are: Probability Puzzles

Nolatech Limited

About this game

Odds Are is a game of probability puzzles that break your intuition. Guess the answer, then watch it play out: every puzzle has a live demo that runs the experiment a thousand times, so you can see why the odds are what they are.

THE PUZZLES
• The Ladder: climb 15 rungs from warm-up to legend. Three strikes, safe rungs, and a friend to ask for a tip.
• IQ Challenge: ten timed questions and your Intuition IQ.
• Practice: no clock, no score. The demo plays after every answer.
• Puzzle Lab: browse every puzzle, from the Monty Hall problem to the birthday problem.

TRIVIA
Ten categories, from football and geography to science, music and food. Play them all, pick a few, or go deep on one.

BOARD GAMES
• Chess: play the computer at four levels, a friend on the same phone, or a friend online. After each game the coach shows where it turned and what to do better, and your level adjusts to how you play.
• Backgammon: the odds game. After each turn the coach tells you how many of the 36 rolls can hit you, and a safer play when there was one. Pick your dice, or let birds and balloons roll for you.
• Checkers: jump, chain and crown, against the computer or a friend.

PLAY TOGETHER
• Buzzer duel: two players, one phone, first right tap wins.
• Family game: 2 to 6 players pass the phone, with easier questions for kids.
• Friends and private leaderboards for your family, class or office.
