About Freehand
Freehand (freehand.fun) is a collection of small daily games that test how well you judge things by eye.
Who makes it
Freehand is an independent project. It started with a question we could not answer about ourselves: how good is our eye, really? Not whether we could do the maths, but whether our first guess landed anywhere near the answer. Freehand is our way of finding out.
The games
- Halved, cut it in half game
- Halved, by Freehand, is a free daily cut it in half game. Slice a pear, a bottle or a fish so both pieces weigh the same. Five objects a day.
- Dropped, projectile game
- Guess where the ball lands. Watch the first part of a throw, then call the landing spot before it gets there. A free daily projectile game, no formulas.
- Angled, angle game
- A free daily angle game. An angle shows for three seconds, then you rebuild it from memory and see how many degrees off you were. No protractor, no sign-up.
- Counted, guess how many game
- Guess how many. A shelf, a tray or a crowd appears for a moment, then goes dark. Estimate the count without counting. Five scenes a day, no sign-up.
- Timed, time estimation game
- A free daily time estimation game. Hold the button for an interval like 4.3 seconds, with no clock to watch. Five intervals a day, no sign-up.
- Balanced, center of mass game
- A free daily center of mass game. Slide the fulcrum to the point where an irregular object balances, then watch it tip. Five shapes a day, no sign-up.
How it works
Every game has five rounds a day and one attempt at each, and everyone plays the same puzzles. New puzzles arrive at midnight in your local time. Every score is recalculated on the server from the moves you made, so the shared board is fair. Playing needs no download and no account; what the site stores is set out on the privacy page.
