About Peakle
Peakle is a free daily trivia game that started on October 9, 2026. Every day there's one category, and you climb it by naming answers, each one higher than the last. It rewards knowing roughly how big things are, from cities and rivers to box office takings and calories. See how to play for the full rules.
Where the numbers come from
Every category is built from a published source: Wikipedia lists, official bodies such as national statistics offices and sports leagues, or well-known datasets. The source and the date the data reflects are shown on every puzzle, so you can always check an answer.
We never type values in from memory. Each source is downloaded once and saved, and the category is built from that saved copy by a script, so the numbers on a puzzle are exactly what the source said on that date. When a source has edge cases, such as ties, territories or values in different units, we decide how to count them and write it down in the category's notes.
What makes a good category
- Enough room to climb. Every category has at least 20 different values, and usually far more, so there's always a low answer to start on and a careful player can take many steps.
- Fair matching. Answers are matched by their common names and spellings, and by French names too, so you aren't marked wrong for writing “USA” instead of “United States”.
- No repeats too soon. Categories are spread out so the same one doesn't come back for weeks, and never within 60 days once there are enough of them.
You can browse every category that has been played so far, with its notes and source.
