I built a tiny daily puzzle game: Clue Funnel 🎉

Hi IH! I’ve been working on a small side project called Clue Funnel, and I’d love to share it here.

It’s a daily puzzle game where you guess a mystery subject — it could be a person, place, idea, event, cultural work, or invention — using six clues that get progressively more specific. Clue 1 is intentionally broad, and each wrong guess reveals the next clue until things click.

I built it because I wanted to provide a quick, low-pressure educational daily challenge that wasn’t tied to streaks, accounts, or data collection. Just a clean puzzle that takes under a minute.

What it includes:

  • One new puzzle every day
  • Free-text guessing with fuzzy matching
  • No signups or personal data
  • Percentile + solve distribution after finishing
  • A small shareable result card

If you’d like to try it, here’s the link:

I’d love feedback on the clue difficulty, flow, or anything that feels off.
If you’re working on your own small web game, feel free to share it too!

    hello your idea is really good for pass time and a lot can learn from it while playing the games, do you have already personalized funnel for this?

      Hi! Glad you like it! In the short term I am looking to run this without accounts etc to keep it lightweight and easy to just jump in and play, but those kind of features will definitely be on the roadmap in the future

    Happy to answer questions about the clue design, difficulty tuning, or anything that feels off. Feedback is super helpful as I refine the daily puzzles!
