How it works

  1. 01

    Write the guess down

    Before you build, write what you expect people to do. One plain sentence.

  2. 02

    Test it

    Playtest, ship, read the numbers. Then mark it right, wrong or unclear, and note what happened.

  3. 03

    Keep the wrong ones

    A wrong guess, plus what you changed because of it, is the most useful thing a team learns. Guessbook keeps every one.

Not just for games

Every plan is a stack of guesses about people.

Game design

A comeback chest after three losses sells better than a random offer.

Wrong

Same conversion, more quits. Dropped the offer, added a hint instead.

Product

Teams invite a colleague in their first week.

Unclear

Only 1 in 5 did. Too early to tell.

Marketing

A price-first ad beats a feature-first ad on installs.

Right

18% more installs for the same spend.

Built to stay honest

Results can't be rewritten

Results are added, never edited. Change your mind and you add a new one; the history stays.

Every guess has a name

See who wrote each guess and who tested it, across the team.

Back to the source

A guess taken from a plan keeps the exact sentence it came from.
