How to play BudgetGuessr
Each round is a real project with a real price tag. Look at what was built, decide what it cost, and see how close you got. The blocks below are the actual game pieces, so try them.
Look at the project
You get a photo, the country, the year it opened and a sense of scale, like seats, length or height. Everything you need for an educated guess is on the card.

Stuck? Use a hint
The first hint shows a comparable project and what it cost. The second narrows the answer to a range. Hints help, but each one lowers the XP you can earn on that question.
Open the hints and watch the XP penalty grow.
Hints
Reveal a clue to get closer—but each one lowers the XP you can earn.
Name your price
Drag the slider or type an amount like 450M or 1.2B. Land within 20% of the real cost for full XP. The further off you are, the less you get.

Other kinds of rounds
Not every round asks for the total. Some ask about the original budget, the overrun, the delay, which of two projects cost more, or the cost per unit.
