Everything you need to know about VarietyGamer.win and how to track your gaming variety score
VarietyGamer.win is a fun web application that calculates your variety gaming score based on how many games you've played across different genres and categories. The goal is to celebrate gaming diversity - from indie gems to AAA titles, from strategy to simulation, PvP to single-player experiences.
Unlike traditional gaming trackers that focus on achievements or playtime, we focus on the breadth of your gaming experience. Have you tried a little bit of everything? That's what variety gaming is all about!
Starting is simple:
No account needed - your progress is saved locally in your browser.
Each daily 100‑game challenge keeps track of the highest score (percentage of games marked played) submitted by any qualifying player. The first person to reach that score triggers a celebration animation; subsequent players must beat it to celebrate again.
The first time you qualify on a given day the site will offer to submit your score using your Steam profile name (fetched automatically). You can cancel the prompt to remain anonymous; no custom names are allowed in order to prevent abuse.
To participate you must enter a SteamID and have your profile/game details public so the site can verify your library. High scores reset when the list rolls over to a new day and are not stored permanently.
No account required! VarietyGamer.win works entirely in your browser. Your game selections and progress are stored locally on your device using browser storage.
