OSRS Higher or Lower
The only entry in this directory that earns the Live Data label. It reads Grand Exchange prices from the wiki API at play time, so a round today reflects today's market.

Where the numbers come from
Live Grand Exchange prices from the Old School RuneScape wiki API
Queries its source when you play, so every round uses current numbers.
Why this one scores highest so far
Every other game in this directory is playing from a snapshot. This one is not.
The page states it plainly: Guess if the next tradeable item is worth more or less on the Grand Exchange — live wiki prices. The figures come from the Old School RuneScape wiki API at the moment you play, which means the round you are answering describes the market as it is right now, not as it was whenever someone last exported a spreadsheet.
That is the strictest label we award, and this is the first entry to earn it.
How it plays
One item is shown with its price — 3.9K GP for a Black dagger(p++), for instance — and a second item is shown with the price hidden. You call higher or lower. Correct answers extend the streak; one wrong answer ends the run.
The examine text appears under each item name, which sounds like decoration and is not. For items you half-recognise, the description is often the thing that tells you whether you are looking at a low-level drop or a high-tier piece of gear.
The catch with live data
Live pricing is not purely an advantage. Grand Exchange prices move on player behaviour, and a volatile item can swing far enough between two sessions that a round which was clearly answerable yesterday is a coin flip today.
That is a real trade-off rather than a flaw. A frozen dataset is stable and progressively wrong; a live one is accurate and occasionally unfair. This directory prefers the second, because at least you know what you are getting.
Who it is not for
There is no difficulty setting and no easier item pool. If you do not already have a feel for the OSRS economy, the game will feel like guessing, because for you it will be. Players who have spent time at the Grand Exchange will find it reads their knowledge accurately, which is the whole point.
Verdict in detail
What works
- Prices come from the OSRS wiki API when you play, not from a dataset bundled months ago
- The game says so on the page, in the same sentence that explains the rules
- Item examine text is shown alongside the name, which is genuinely useful for items you half-recognise
- No account, no round limit, and only two advertising networks
What does not
- Live pricing cuts both ways — a volatile item can make a round unwinnable through no fault of yours
- Assumes you already know the OSRS economy; there is no easier mode for newcomers
- A merchandise promotion sits above the game on the page
- Score and best score reset with the session
Best for
- Old School RuneScape players
- Anyone who wants genuinely current data
Similar games
Comparable games from other developers, so you can see how this one stacks up rather than taking our word for it.
Completely ad-free and the only OSRS entry here with a private duel mode, but it never says whether its Grand Exchange values are live or stored — which its rival does.
OSRS Puzzles
A single-topic game that does the important thing right: it prints its data month on the page, next to the start button, where you cannot miss it before playing.
HiLoMC
The only game in this first batch that prints its data capture date on screen before you play, and it does it with no ads and four difficulty tiers. The mobile layout is the weak point.
