Rules

Classic (3 to 8 players)

1. Five topics are dealt for the round.
2. The spotlight player privately ranks their own preferences: 1 is most liked, 5 is least liked, each rank used once.
3. Everyone else predicts that order, and marks exactly one topic as their confidence pick.
4. Everyone locks their answer. A locked answer cannot change.
5. The spotlight player reveals their fifth place. Every guesser reveals their guess for that same topic. Then fourth, third, second and first.
6. A guesser scores one point for each exact rank match, one more if the confidence pick is a match, and one more for matching all five. A perfect round is 7 points.
7. The spotlight player scores the highest guesser score that round.
8. The spotlight moves to the next player in seating order and five new topics are dealt.
9. Highest total wins. Ties share the win.

Duo (2 players)

Both players rank their own preferences. Each topic ranked the same by both adds one shared point. There is no confidence pick and no perfect-round bonus. Standard Duo is 10 rounds.

Length

With three or four players everyone is the spotlight twice; with five to eight, once. The demo length is 2 rounds in either mode and is not a full rotation.

On this site

• The lobby creator picks the seating order and the first spotlight, then the setup is fixed. After that the creator has no special role.
• Your ranking stays on your device until the topic it belongs to is revealed. Nobody receives your whole ranking in advance.
• Each device calculates scores from the same signed records.
• If someone disappears, the game waits for them. Their answer is never invented or skipped.
