What is Charty?
Charty is a daily data visualization game that tests your ability to accurately estimate proportions in charts. Each day, anyone who plays will see the same 6 charts and have to guess what percentage a specific category represents.
This started as a cheeky way to get data on how much worse pie charts *actually* are than bar charts. Go to the data page for more details on that.
As I made it, I thought it was actually pretty fun! I spent some time to to make it into an actual game.
How to Play
Just guess the number! Some tips below:
- For small slices, mentally fit them into larger slices and see how many copies you'd need
- People tend to over-estimate small pie chart slices!
- Scoring is just based on error. You can take your time.
- Track your performance over time and watch your improvement!
