About This Game

One person picks a number, other guesses. Higher or lower? Simple but satisfying.

How to Play

**Setup:** Agree on a range (e.g., 1-100).

**Gameplay:**

  1. One player secretly picks a number in the range
  2. Other player guesses
  3. Picker responds "higher" or "lower"
  4. Continue until correct guess

**Scoring:** Count guesses - fewer is better.

**Optimal Strategy (Binary Search):** Always guess the middle of remaining range. Should take at most 7 guesses for 1-100.
