Ever scroll past a post and think "wait, is this r/aww or r/eyebleach?" That confusion became this game.

What it is: You see a real post title, guess the subreddit. Simple concept, surprisingly tricky execution - especially when choosing between r/mildlyinteresting and r/mildlyinfuriating.

Three modes: Daily Challenge (same posts for everyone each day), Endless, and Speed Run. Three difficulties where "Hard" means similar subreddits (r/cats vs r/kittens), not obscure ones nobody knows.

The tricky parts: Devvit looks like React but isn't - spent way too long debugging stale closures before storing all state as JSON. Daily challenge uses a date-seeded RNG so everyone gets identical posts. Fitting everything on mobile without scrolling meant killing features I liked.

What stuck with me: Good trivia difficulty comes from confusion, not obscurity. And sometimes removing features makes the game better.
