About

GuessEye was inspired by a conceptually similar guessing game for Trackmania players, which was further loosely inspired by Wordle. However, I wanted to take the concept to another level and make it focused on the game of darts I've been playing on and off for more than 10 years and I really enjoy.

I've spent a lot of time adding darts players to the database and finding information about them, so my goal is to maintain the database as up-to-date as possible. For example, you can expect PDC/WDF ranking and Tour Card Holder information to be very accurate as I've developed some tiny tools to automate updating it. You can also expect updated best results after the PDC/WDF World Championship and UK Open every year.

Still, some information will, inevitably, be updated on a case-by-case basis (such as any changes to darts or status). See the Contact page if you've encountered any inaccurate information.

GuessEye is and will continue to be 100% free and open-source and you can find it on GitHub. You can see it as a modest contribution to darts from a fan of the sport.

Game Mechanics

Your goal is extremely simple: guess the right darts player in as few tries as you can. There is no limit on the number of tries. Don't expect it to be easy, though.

Every darts player is presented as a card (Player Card) with 22 information fields. Most of the fields have tooltips explaining what they mean.

All darts players are assigned a difficulty level, so you can know what to expect beforehand.

When you start a game, all fields are grey. Once you make a guess, a field can:

stay grey if the guessed player's field is not the same as the darts player to find's field, and cannot be compared (fields such as Country or Status);
turn green if the guessed player's field is the same as the darts player to find's field;
turn red if the guessed player's field is not the same as the darts player to find's field, but can be compared (fields such as Age or Best Result) (yes, Best Result fields are comparable).

This continues until you either guess the right darts player (you win, GG!) or give up on your game, resulting in the darts player to find being revealed to you.

You will notice some small arrows next to values in comparable fields (turning red). They are there to tell you that the value in a field to find should be higher/lower (or better/worse for Best Result fields) compared to the value in your guess. If you are confused about what the arrow tries to tell you (it can be confusing for rankings, for example), you can also click or tap it to tell you exactly what type of value is expected.

To make the game a bit easier, comparable fields show the closest value based on all of your previous guesses. Let's say your darts player to find is 32 years old, and your previous guesses were darts players aged 57, 34, and 28. The closest value is 34, and that's the value you will see in the field. If your next guess happens to be a 33-year-old darts player, the field will be updated to this new closest value.

You might also find first and last name fields helpful. Question marks are not just a placeholder. Their number is the same as the number of characters in the darts player to find's first/last name, meaning that the first name of Gary is represented with four questions marks, while the last name of Anderson with eight question marks.

Last but not least, the game features a hint system. You can reveal hints about darts players to get you on the right track if you are stuck or out of ideas. To reveal them, you first need to make at least one guess in a game, except for the random mode for logged-in users, where a game is created automatically for you, thus making hints available immediately. Logged-in users can also suggest new hints.

Game Modes

GuessEye features two game modes:

official mode, where a hand-picked darts player is available for you to find. It changes every single day at midnight UTC;
random mode, where a darts player is selected for you at random, with the game ending only when you either guess the right darts player or give up on your game.

As you are not logged in, the only game mode available to you is the random mode, and it's a bit easier compared to the random mode for logged-in users. Also, your ongoing game might disappear when you update your browser or it auto-updates.

Why Should I Sign Up?

If you find GuessEye fun, you might consider signing up for extra and completely free features. They include:

playing the current official mode game, as well as all previous official mode games whenever you want;
playing random mode games where you can additionally encounter darts players of hard difficulty, with the possibility of enabling darts players of very hard difficulty for a real challenge;
competing on the leaderboard where users are ranked based on their official and random mode wins and give ups as well as hints revealed;
discovering the official mode history, which shows how many users found the right darts player in all previous official mode games, who did it first, the fastest, and in fewest tries;
access to your game history, where you can check all of your completed games: your guesses, hints revealed, and, of course, the darts player to find;
access to both your and global game stats, showing, for example, most frequent guesses, games by day, or darts players that others found/give up on in the random mode;
suggesting new hints for darts players;
access to various charts related to all darts players featured in the database, where you can, for example, learn which darts brand is used the most among the best in the sport or how many left-handed darts players play or played top-level darts.
