Prompt Golf turns prompt engineering into a competitive puzzle game. Across five rounds, coax an out-of-the-box AI into saying an exact target word or phrase in as less characters as possible. Every round has a condition or banned input words. Every character and message adds strokes, so clever, compact prompts climb the live leaderboard. Replay the full course, check live leaderboard, challenge your friends and view their transcripts.

Hey AI tinkerers! 👋
My friends and I were having a debate on how well we understand LLMs and one thing led to another, I ended up making this fun silly idea to flex your prompting skills, formatted like Golf.
You get a vanilla AI model to chat with. You have to get it to respond with the target word / phrase using the least characters and messages.
Course 1 consists of 5 rounds (par 1):
🏌️ Make it say “hello world” without using either word
🎬 Describe Titanic using only emoji
4️⃣ Get exactly “42” without typing digits
🤝 Trigger “You are absolutely right” without those words
🥭 Jailbreak the forbidden word MANGO
Scoring is simple: 1 point per character + 10 points per message.
Lowest score wins.
There’s a live leaderboard, replayable runs, anti-cheat transcript viewing, round idea submissions, and score sharing.
It’s free and open source, built with plain PHP + SQLite, and designed to be easy to self-host.
I’d love two things from you:
1. Post your final score (and your cleverest prompt)
2. Tell me what round should be added next
My current score is 463. Please beat it 😅
This is so cool, did not expect that emoji one to be this tough. Loved the game, gonna flex my prompt score at work tomorrow
