Daily web-based sports ranking game
2023 video game
Sports Under 150 is a daily browser-based sports game created by Austin Krance.[1]
In the game, players attempt to achieve the lowest possible score by matching random countries to the sport in which they are ranked the highest. The game has gained popularity on social media and has been described as “taking the internet by storm.”[1]
Gameplay
Players are presented with a list of ten sports: basketball, baseball, badminton, cricket, hockey, gymnastics, rugby, football, tennis, and volleyball.[1] One by one, the game provides a random country. For each country, the player must assign one of the available sports where that nation is ranked the highest. Once a sport is used, it cannot be selected again.
After all ten sports have been assigned, the game calculates a total score based on the countries’ world rankings in the selected sports. The objective is to finish with the lowest possible score, where under 150 is considered a win.[1]
Reception
USA Today highlighted Sports Under 150 as a viral online game attracting sports fans and media personalities.[1] ESPN analyst Mina Kimes tweeted about the game:
- “The amount of time I’ve spent playing this game is unhealthy so now I’m passing it on to you all like a curse.”Twitter, June 2023[2]
Strategy
While gameplay is based partly on chance, players must use knowledge of international sports to achieve lower scores. For instance, USA Today noted that “Turkey is No. 1 in women’s volleyball,” an example of a key fact that can aid decision-making.[1]
Developer
The game was developed and published by Austin Krance, who has created multiple online trivia and sports-related games through his personal website.[3] Krance promotes his games using his large social media following.[4][5]
