Higher or lower is the arcade game of the set: two titles appear side by side, and you say which has more episodes. It looks simple and really isn't, because our intuition conflates how long a show ran with how many episodes it made. A beloved three-season series loses every time against a soap nobody discusses. The second mode swaps episodes for the public rating, which calls on an entirely different set of reflexes.
How to play
Two shows appear: say whether the one on the right has more or fewer episodes than the one on the left.
A correct call keeps the run alive, a miss ends it. Your best run stays on your device.
Ratings mode swaps the episode count for the average public score.
Three ways to play better
Separate formats in your head: a daily soap or a talk show almost always beats a season-based series, however long it ran.
Japanese animation inflates fast: a show running for ten years passes 300 episodes without feeling like it.
In Ratings mode, be wary of very popular recent shows: their average is often lower than a less-watched classic's.
Where the data comes from
Episode counts come from our own show cache — the one used to compute your progress — not from an estimate. Ratings come from TMDB, rounded to one decimal like everywhere else on the site, so no round is decided by an invisible digit.
