The Estimate GameA free art auction game
The Estimate Game is a free art auction prediction game by ArtAtlas. Explore a real artwork, make your own price estimate, then see how close you came when the auction result arrives.
Real art. Your estimate.
Each lot comes from a real auction, with the artist, artwork details, auction house and sale city. Where available, past sales of similar works give you something to compare before you choose your number.
An auction house estimate is a guide, not a promise. Your challenge is to call the hammer price: the winning bid before buyer’s premium and other fees.
From your call to the result
Look at the lot
Explore the artwork and the available comparisons. You do not need to be a collector or an art expert.
Make your estimate
Enter your number and lock it before the deadline. For live lots, sign in to save your call and take part in the season.
Enter the Room
Compare your call with the crowd median and, when available, the auction house range. Come back after the sale to see the result and your percentage difference.
How scoring works
The closer your estimate is to the hammer price, the more accuracy points you earn. Live play also rewards beating the crowd and the auction house. Season rankings add up your points across that season’s scored lots.
If a lot is bought in or withdrawn, its points are cancelled. Past-lot practice never changes season rankings.
Can I play without signing up?
You can explore current lots before signing up. Create a free account to save your estimate and take part in the season.
Is this bidding or betting?
Neither. You are predicting an auction result, not placing a bid or buying the artwork. The game is free to play.
What does the sale price include?
A verified hammer price excludes buyer’s premium. Some archive values may include it; those lot and practice screens label the price accordingly. A fee-inclusive total is shown separately when available.
