The rules, step by step
- Find the six hidden answers. Popular answers score more.
- You BOTH get the whole board. Land an answer and it flips for you with its survey points.
- A wrong guess costs 3 from that board’s haul — a board never dips below zero, and banked boards are safe.
- Your rival’s board stays hidden — you only see their score move, until the reveal shows who found what.
- Sixty seconds a board, three boards. Most points takes the match.
Scoring and the fiddly bits
The deal
Three questions a match, each hiding six survey answers that sum to about a hundred points. Both players get the same three, in the same order.
The clock
Sixty seconds a round, stamped by the server. A round ends early only when both players have swept all six answers.
What a guess costs
A found answer pays its survey points, a miss costs three, and zero is the floor. Re-typing an answer you already hold is free.
What counts as a match
Case, accents, punctuation and plurals are folded, aliases are accepted, and the heart of a phrase lands it. A fragment that fits two answers scores neither.
Winning
Highest total after round three. Level totals are a shared win, and a walkout ends the match at the standings reached.
