ThreadGuessr

Inspiration

Reddit is huge, and every community has its own vibe. I wondered: can you guess a subreddit just by looking at a post? That’s how ThreadGuessr was born – a little game to test exactly that.

What it does

ThreadGuessr is a daily subreddit quiz. Every day, everyone gets the same 10 posts.

Gameplay

  • 10 rounds per day
  • See an image/video + title
  • Rounds 1–5: easier --> pick from 4 subreddit options
  • Rounds 6–10: trickier --> no options too choose from, can search through every subreddit in the whitelist
  • Streak multiplier: the longer you’re right, the more points you get
  • Partial credit for close guesses:
    • Same category --> 60% points
    • Shared tags --> 30% points
  • Weekly leaderboards
  • One attempt per day

Features:

  • Deterministic daily post selection --> everyone sees the exact same set
  • Smart scoring with categories & tags
  • Redis-based progress tracking + resume functionality
  • Automated content ingestion & curation
    • build a post curator tool to that picks random posts that can be accepted, skiped or rejected

What’s next

  • Custom Snoo avatars for leaderboards
  • Better subreddit categorization & distractor generation
  • A moderation dashboard for reports
  • Scaling improvements
  • Special themed challenges & tournaments
