PricePinner
The local expert
Knows every sale on the block. Still gets humbled weekly.
Our story
Everyone has an opinion about house prices. We score them.
PricePinner started with a simple observation: people argue about property prices at every dinner table, but nobody keeps score.
What we believe
Market intuition is a skill, and skills grow with honest feedback. Every property in the game really sold, and every score reflects how close you came to the actual property and its price — not how confident you sounded.
How the game stays fair
All players see the same clues a real buyer would: photos, size, rooms, location and description. The scoring is published and split into three parts — distance, price accuracy, and hints left unrevealed. Distance follows a logarithmic curve, generous with near-misses and unforgiving with wild guesses; accuracy and hints scale straightforwardly with how close you were. No pay-to-win, no boosts, no shortcuts.
Built in the open spirit
PricePinner runs on open-source software wherever possible, and the characters on this site come from Open Peeps by Pablo Stanley (CC0). We like tools that are generous, because the game is meant to feel that way too.
