Playing
What should be my first guess?
Depending on the category, topic and any hints provided you can make any educated guess as your first guess. Your guess will be matched against the hidden name and match clues will be revealed about each game attribute. Based on these clues, you can refine your next guess.
What are game attributes?
Each game has its own set of attributes. For example the country game has continent name attribute. If your guessed country's continent name matches with the hidden country's continent name, then this attribute will show a = symbol underneath it. If the guessed country's continent name does not match with the hidden country's continent name then this attribute will show a ≠.
What is that Egg 🥚?
Egg means you didn't heed a previous revealed clue. It could be a name clue or a attribute match clue that you missed to heed or both. Practice and play modes allow eggs. Pro mode doesnt allow any eggs so guess carefully in Pro mode.
What are the difficulty levels?
Choose from 3 playing modes -
Matching
Do I have to match in first guess?
No. Although Ace-in-one is not uncommon, you can make multiple guesses, one by one. Each guess you make reveals more clues about the answer. Use the match clues to make your next educated guess.
How many guesses can I make?
You have 7 guesses to match in every gameplay.
How much time do I have?
You have max 7 minutes to match in every gameplay.
How many eggs can I get?
Max 10 eggs (clue errors) are allowed in Practice mode, 7 eggs in Play mode and zero eggs in Pro mode. If you exceed max allowed eggs, you will score 0.
I matched all attributes. Why it's still not a match?
In cases where there are more than one possible answers, you have to match the answer that is pre-seleced and hidden. Make another guess.
Scoring
What is the max score?
Max score is the maximum points you can get in a game if you match it quickly in just one guess. You can score max 100 points in Play mode, 10 points in Practice mode and a max 1000 points in Pro mode. If you take more tries to match, or receive eggs, you will receive a reduced score.
How is the score calculated?
Score is calculated based on the game mode (Practice, Play, Pro), number of tries, number of eggs and amount of time required to guess and match. You can score anywhere from 0 to max score depending on those factors.
I matched in first guess. Why is my score not the same as max score?
Score depends on both number of guesses and amount of time taken before making the guess. If you take too much time making your first or any other guess, your score is reduced.
How can I get the best score?
Try to guess faster and try to match in fewest guesses without getting any eggs. Scoring takes into account the number of eggs received plus both the time taken to match and number of guesses requied to match.
