Frequently asked questions
What people ask most about the events, accounts, scoring and rooms.
The game
Which events are there?
Three: clicks (10 seconds of clicking), double click (five rounds waiting for the GO signal) and typing (60 seconds typing words). Each has its own page with the rules, the medals and its leaderboard.
Can I play on my phone?
Clicks and double click work with screen taps. Typing is much better with a physical keyboard. The game is designed for a desktop browser.
What is the difference between Practise and Play for real?
Practice computes your score but saves nothing and does not count for the leaderboard. Playing for real saves your result, earns medals and counts for the rankings; only one ranked run per minute is allowed.
Account and data
Do I need an account?
Yes, both to practise and to play for real: it is free and only asks for a nickname, a verified email and a password. The server computes the score and needs to know who you are. You must be at least 14.
What do you use my email for?
Email is only used to verify your account and recover your password. We send no newsletters, advertising or social notices by email; notices (friends, rooms, rounds) arrive in the website bell and in the game.
What data do you keep?
Your account, your results, medals and achievements, your friends and rooms, and the events of each run to compute and validate the score. Details and retention periods are in the privacy policy.
Can I delete my account and my data?
Yes, from My account → My data: you can download all your data as a file or delete the account at once. Deletion is irreversible.
Scoring and cheating
How is scoring done?
The server always computes the score from the raw events of your run; the figures you see during the event are provisional. Clicks: number of clicks in 10 seconds. Double click: 1000 minus the milliseconds between your two clicks, over five rounds. Typing: 10 times your net words per minute times your accuracy.
How do I win medals?
With your best result in each event. Clicks: 50, 70 and 90 for bronze, silver and gold. Double click: 2500, 3500 and 4200. Typing: 300, 500 and 700 points.
What happens if I cheat?
Impossible results are rejected and suspect ones stay out of the ranking until a person reviews them. Sanctions are progressive (warning, 7 days, 30 days and permanent) and a ban for cheating erases the affected results.
What if I think I was sanctioned by mistake?
You can appeal from My account → Appeals. A person reviews your case and answers in your notice inbox.
Playing with others
How do rooms work?
You can create a league (2 to 8 players, points per matchday) or a tournament (a bracket of 4 or 8). Rooms can be public, friends only or private by invitation, and live or at your own pace. You can have at most 3 open and they expire after 7 days if they do not fill up.
Is there chat?
With strangers there are only predefined quick messages (gg, nice, rematch, hurry). Free text is only between friends, with blocking and reporting at hand.
Can I watch other people play?
In live rooms you can spectate with a delay of a few seconds, and round replays are kept for 7 days.
How do I report someone?
From the Report page (also linked in the footer and on every profile): a player, an offensive nickname, a room or a text. A person reviews every report.
