About Daily Disc

Daily Disc is a daily trick-shot puzzle for anyone who likes a quick puzzle with their coffee, a good bank shot, or both. It is free, with no accounts and nothing to download.

Each day there is one board, the same for everyone. The opponent stands on an island of tiles in a park pond, blocks stand on a raft behind the island, and you throw a frisbee from a platform. The disc flies a set distance and passes over the tiles, so the puzzle is where it comes down: curve it, bank it off the blocks and around the pines, and land it on the opponent's tile to drop them in the water. Every block you hit breaks, and the one behind slides forward, so each throw changes the raft for the next.

Every board has a par, checked by a program that tries hundreds of thousands of throws and finds the fewest that solve it. Par is a guide, not a limit: take as many throws as you need, and your score is your throws against par, then your time. A new board arrives at midnight where you are. Your streak keeps count of the days you solve, and a grid of coloured squares showing the island you left lets you share how you got on without giving the answer away.

The park dresses up for Halloween, Christmas and Easter, but the puzzle never changes with it.

Your results and streak live in your own browser, so there is nothing to sign up for.
