What is Daily Herd?
Daily Herd is a consensus-guessing game that flips the quiz format. Instead of answering what you think is correct, you type what most other players would say. Each day presents five open questions such as "What's the worst common food?" and asks you to predict the majority response. The site's tagline is "One herd. Five questions. Can you think like everyone else?"
How to play Daily Herd
- Open the Daily page and tap “Play today’s herd” to start today’s set.
- Read the question in the center of the card. Focus on what most people would answer, not your personal opinion.
- Enter your prediction in the “Your answer…” field, using the short format shown below it.
- Tap “Next” to submit your answer and continue. The progress bar moves forward by one segment.
- Answer all five questions to see how your predictions compare with the herd’s responses.
Why the game uses consensus instead of correctness
Daily Herd scores you on how well you match the crowd. Predicting what most people dislike about common food calls for statistical empathy more than personal taste. Each session has five entries and requires no account or download.
Reading the feedback
After you submit an answer, the card updates to show “Question 2 of 5” and a filled segment on the progress bar. The input field clears without showing a color, correction, or hint about what others typed. The game reveals the group’s answers only after you complete the final question.
Tips for predicting the herd
Keep answers short. The game recommends one or two words below the input field. A full sentence is unlikely to match the phrasing most players use.
Set aside your personal taste. An original or nuanced answer moves you away from the herd. The question asks for the majority opinion, not your individual view.
Compare results with a friend who played the same day. Everyone gets the same five questions, so score differences reflect answer choices rather than random variation.
