Questions & answers

Pourdle is a free daily game about judging volume. Every day there are five glasses, each with a target like Fill to 54%. Hold to pour, let go to stop, and try to land exactly on the target. The glasses have no markings, so you have to read their shape.

Volume. 50% means half the water the glass can hold, not halfway up. In a glass that is narrow at the bottom, like a cone or a martini glass, half the water sits much higher than half the height. That's the trick that makes every glass different.

A perfect pour scores 100. Every 1% you're off costs 5 points, so 2% off scores 90 and 10% off scores 50. Five glasses make a best possible day of 500. Results within 2% are Great (green), within 6% are Close (yellow), and anything further is Off (red).

You can top up as often as you like before pressing Done, but you can't pour water out. Pour too much and it spills over the rim. A few drops keep falling for a moment after you let go, so stop a little early.

The longer you hold, the faster the water flows. Short taps give you fine control near the target, and a long hold fills the glass quickly.

About one glass a day comes with a twist. 🌋 Lava flows slowly and keeps oozing after you let go. 🥤 Fizzy soda foams up while you pour, and only the liquid counts, not the foam. A 💧 leaky glass slowly drains until you press Done. A card under the glass tells you when one shows up.

Landing exactly on the target, with 0.0% error, for a full 100 points. Your first Pourfect unlocks the golden tap, which you can switch on or off in Trophies.

Yes. Open the menu and choose Practice glass, or pick it from Settings or the How to play popup. The practice glass shows the target line and a live percentage, and it never counts towards your score.

At midnight in your own time zone. The countdown on the results screen shows how long is left.

Yes. Everyone playing on the same date gets the same five glasses and the same targets, so you can compare scores with friends.

Your first go is the one that counts. After you finish, you can press Replay today to play the same glasses again just for fun. A replay never changes your score.

Yes. Every past day is in the archive. Archive rounds are saved and count towards some trophies, but they don't add to your daily streak.

Your streak is the number of days in a row you've finished the daily round. The 🔥 at the top of the page shows it, and it turns dashed when today's round is still waiting. Streaks unlock trophies at 3, 7, 14, 30, 100 and 365 days.

Press Share result on the results screen. On a phone it opens your share menu with a picture of your five glasses. On a computer it copies a short, spoiler-free summary that you can paste anywhere.
