  • Every prompt has many right answers. The less obvious yours is, the more it scores.
  • A round is 6 prompts with 30 seconds each. Keep trying until one is accepted: your first valid answer locks in. No valid answer by the bell scores nothing.
  • Spelling is forgiving. Capitals, accents and small typos do not matter.
  • The clock is kept by the school, not your phone. If you leave mid-round it carries on without you.

The timetable

  • First Period opens at 00:00 and Second Period at 12:00, London time. Both close at midnight London time.
  • Everyone in the world gets the same prompts at the same moment, and one attempt at each round.
  • Play at least one round a day to keep your streak. Play both for full attendance.
  • Second Period on Fridays is a themed round.

Depths

The deeper the answer, the brighter it glows. A perfect round is 600.
