Common Cents

The Top 100 Ranking Game

Play Here: commoncents.fun

Name things from a Top 100 list. Harder answers score more. Accumulate as many points as you can.

How It Works

A category is chosen (e.g. "Highest-Grossing Movies of All Time") and players take turns naming items they think belong on the list. Each item is ranked 1-100, and your score is based on how obscure your answer is -- naming the #1 entry earns just 1 point, while guessing something ranked #100 earns 100 points. The goal is to rack up points by naming lesser-known entries without striking out on wrong guesses.

Game Modes

  • Strikes -- each player gets a limited number of wrong guesses before they're eliminated. Last player standing wins.
  • Turns -- each player gets a fixed number of guesses. Highest score at the end wins.

Multiplayer

Common Cents is a multiplayer party game. Create a party and share the code with friends, or browse public parties to join. The host picks the category and game settings, while other players can suggest categories for the host to consider.

  • Pop Culture -- Highest-Grossing Movies, Most Streamed Songs, Best-Selling Video Games, Most Followed on Instagram/Twitter, Most Subscribed YouTube Channels, Grammy Awards, Oscar Nominations, and more
