A new price puzzle every day

Pricele is a free daily game about what things cost around the world. Every day you get one country and one everyday item: a Big Mac in Norway, a cappuccino in Japan, a litre of petrol in Egypt. You try to guess the price in US dollars. You get five guesses, with higher-or-lower hints along the way, and you win if you land within 5% of the real price. Both the item and the country change at midnight your time, so there's always a fresh one waiting when you wake up.

If you play Wordle or Globle, it's the same kind of thing: a quick puzzle you do once a day, plus a streak you'll want to keep going. The difference is that the answer is a real number, since every price comes from a published source, and the reveal tells you where that country sits against the rest of the world.

What's in the game

16 items, priced across 49 countries. Each item has its own page ranking every country from cheapest to most expensive.

Frequently asked questions

What is Pricele?
Pricele is a free daily browser game where you guess what an everyday item costs in a different country each day. Both the item and the country change every day: it might be a Big Mac in Norway on Monday and a cappuccino in Japan on Tuesday. You get five tries and hotter/colder feedback after each guess.
How do you play Pricele?
Each day you get one item and one country. Type your best guess of the price in US dollars or euros; there's a toggle next to the guess box. After every guess, Pricele tells you whether the real price is higher or lower and roughly how close you got. Land within 5% of the real price to win. You have five guesses. Because the win is a percentage rather than a fixed amount, the currency you play in doesn't change how close a guess needs to be.
Which items are in the game?
There are 16 items in rotation: Big Mac, Coca-Cola, Cappuccino, Milk, Eggs, Apples, Gasoline, Diesel, Electricity, Natural gas, Cigarettes, Beer, Spirits, Vape liquid, Mobile data, Healthy diet. Each one is priced across up to 49 countries, and the item changes every day alongside the country.
Where do the prices come from?
From published sources, one per item. Big Mac prices come from The Economist's Big Mac Index. Grocery and café prices come from Numbeo's crowd-sourced country price rankings. Fuel and household energy come from GlobalPetrolPrices.com, cigarettes, beer and spirits from the World Health Organization's tax surveys, mobile data from Cable.co.uk, and the cost of a healthy diet from the World Bank and FAO. Every price on the site shows its own source and collection date, and the methodology page explains how each number is produced and where it is weakest.
Is Pricele free to play?
Yes, it's completely free. You don't need an account or a download, and it works in any browser on your phone or computer.
How often does Pricele update?
A new puzzle unlocks every day at midnight your local time. The item and the country advance on separate cycles, so the same combination only comes back around roughly twice a year.
Can I play past puzzles?
Yes. The archive has every puzzle since the game launched, and you can replay any of them. Archive rounds save your result but never affect your streak, so replaying an old day can't break a run.
Does Pricele save my streak?
Yes. Your results and streak are saved right in your browser, so just play each day to keep the streak going. Nothing gets uploaded and there's no sign-in.
What is a good daily game to play instead of Wordle?
It depends what you want to be tested on. Wordle is vocabulary; Worldle and Globle are geography; Framed is film; Nerdle is arithmetic; Pricele is what everyday things cost around the world. Most people end up with a short daily rotation of three or four rather than one, because they take two minutes each. Pricele keeps a list of the ones that have lasted, with honest descriptions, at /daily-games.
How is Pricele different from other price-guessing games?
Most price games ask what a product costs: Costcodle uses Costco items, Spendle uses consumer products, PriceGame runs five rounds a day. Pricele pairs an everyday item with a country, so the question is what a Big Mac or a litre of petrol costs in Norway versus Egypt. That makes it as much a geography and economics game as a price game, and every figure is a published statistic with its source shown, rather than a retail listing.
Is Pricele or Costcodle better?
They answer different questions. Costcodle gives you a Costco product and six guesses at its US shelf price, from a catalogue of over three thousand. Pricele gives you an everyday item and a different one of 49 countries each day, five guesses, and a published source for every figure. Costcodle is the better game for American retail prices; Pricele is the better one if the spread between countries is the interesting part. Pricele publishes a full head-to-head at /vs/costcodle, including what Costcodle does better.
What should I play if I like Pricele?
Dickle, which is the closest thing to it anywhere: it names a country and asks you for a published figure about it, in five tries, on the same hotter/colder scale. It is built by the same person as Pricele and to the same rule, so every figure prints the study it came from. Beyond that, Tradle is the best of the rest for the same instinct — a real dataset played as a daily puzzle. Costcodle if you want prices without the country dimension. All of them are free and take about two minutes.
Are Pricele and Dickle made by the same people?
Yes. Both are made by the same person and run on the same principle: the game names a country, asks you for a published figure, and then shows you exactly where the real figure came from. Pricele uses the price of everyday things from sources including The Economist's Big Mac Index, the World Bank and the WHO; Dickle uses average stretched penile length from peer-reviewed urology studies. Neither invents a number to fill a gap — a country or item with no published source is left out rather than estimated.
Is Pricele reliable?
Every price carries the source it came from and the date it was collected, both printed next to the number rather than buried in a policy page. Sources include The Economist's Big Mac Index, the World Bank and FAO, the WHO and GlobalPetrolPrices, each named per item at /methodology along with how often it refreshes. Where no sourced figure exists for an item in a country, the row is simply absent — the table is deliberately sparse rather than padded with estimates, and the country pages say which absences are a fact about the country rather than a gap in the research.
Is Pricele suitable for classrooms?
Yes, and teachers are a large share of who plays it. The daily puzzle takes two minutes, needs no account or install, and the reveal screen names the source for the figure, so it works as a starter for lessons on purchasing power, exchange rates, inflation or comparative economics. The price tables and the guides are readable on their own without playing.
Why is the price different from what I pay locally?
Because a single national number can't capture a whole country. Prices vary by city, by shop and by season, and the figures here are national averages converted to US dollars at recent exchange rates. They're accurate enough to make the game fair, but they aren't shopping advice, so a mismatch with your local shop is normal rather than an error.
