Frequently Asked Questions

Your score is computed from how many other players gave the same answer today. If 40% of players said "Apple" for "Name a fruit", that's a common answer and scores low. If only 1 player said "Kumquat", that's rare and scores high. The rarity is real - calculated from actual player responses, not editorially assigned.

When fewer than 50 players have answered a prompt, the rarity scores are blended with a baseline to avoid extreme swings. The badge shows honestly how many players have answered so far. As more players join, scores become more accurate.

New prompts go live at midnight UTC each day. Everyone around the world gets the same set of 7 prompts.

Each prompt has a curated list of accepted answers. If your answer is valid but not on our list, we apologize! We're constantly expanding our answer lists. Common synonyms and minor misspellings are accepted automatically.
