Product Introduction

1. Hued is a daily color-matching puzzle game where players attempt to guess the exact color of the day within three attempts, similar to Wordle but focused on color identification.
2. The core value of Hued lies in its ability to challenge users’ color perception skills through a quick, engaging, and socially shareable experience that combines simplicity with strategic thinking.

Main Features

1. Hued provides a daily color puzzle that resets every 24 hours, requiring players to guess the target color using a combination of hex code adjustments and visual feedback.
2. Players receive immediate feedback after each guess, with color gradients and proximity indicators showing how close their guess is to the target color.
3. The game includes a shareable results feature that generates a spoiler-free graphic for social media, allowing users to compare scores and challenge friends.

Problems Solved

1. Hued addresses the lack of accessible, color-focused puzzle games that test visual acuity and color theory knowledge in a time-constrained format.
2. The product targets casual gamers, designers, and color enthusiasts who seek a daily mental challenge that can be completed in under two minutes.
3. Typical use cases include daily brain training for color professionals, friendly competitions among social circles, and educational tools for learning color hex codes and gradients.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike Wordle or other word-based puzzles, Hued uniquely leverages color science and hex code mechanics, requiring players to interpret numerical and visual cues simultaneously.
2. The game’s algorithm dynamically adjusts color proximity calculations based on perceptual lightness and saturation, ensuring accurate feedback for diverse color ranges.
3. Competitive advantages include its minimalist design, zero monetization distractions, and compatibility with screen readers for accessibility, which are uncommon in similar color-matching games.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How is the daily color selected? The color is algorithmically generated using a combination of HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) values and perceptual uniformity principles to ensure distinct, visually identifiable shades daily.
2. Can I share my results without spoiling the answer? Yes, Hued’s share feature exports a non-revealing graphic showing guess attempts as color blocks, preserving the puzzle’s integrity for others.
3. What happens if I miss a day? Players retain access to the current day’s puzzle only, with no archive system, though streaks reset at midnight local time to encourage daily engagement.
