Blind Ticker FAQ
Answers to the questions players ask most about Blind Ticker.
Is there a daily game about stocks?
Yes. Blind Ticker is a free daily stock market guessing game: each day you name one US-listed company from clues drawn from its annual filings, such as its sector, headquarters, revenue and margins.
How do you guess the company in Blind Ticker?
Pick any company from the list and submit it as a guess. Each guess shows how its sector, headquarters, exchange, revenue, net margin and total assets compare with the hidden company, so every guess narrows the field. You have eight guesses.
Do I need to know finance to play Blind Ticker?
No. Knowing a few big companies helps, but every clue explains itself: a match, a near miss or an arrow toward the hidden value. The strategy guide shows how analysts use revenue, margins and assets to narrow down a company.
When does a new Blind Ticker puzzle start?
A new daily puzzle unlocks at midnight in your own time zone. Everyone gets the same company on the same calendar date.
Why can't I find a company I know?
The dataset covers roughly one thousand companies listed on NYSE or Nasdaq with a US business address and complete annual revenue, net income and total assets. Foreign filers, private companies and subsidiaries of larger parents are not included.
Why is the revenue different from the number in the news?
Blind Ticker uses standardized figures from annual filings for a full fiscal year. News coverage often quotes quarterly results, calendar-year totals or adjusted figures, which can differ.
What do the colors, symbols and arrows mean?
Blue with a check mark is a match, orange with an approximately-equal sign is close and grey with a cross is a miss. Arrows on numeric clues point toward the hidden company's value.
Do hints affect my streak?
No. Hints never break a streak. Free hints add a light bulb to your shared result, while hints unlocked by watching an optional ad do not.
Can I play puzzles I missed?
Yes. The archive lists every past daily puzzle. Archive games count toward your statistics, but only today's puzzle extends your streak.
