How scoring works

Last updated: October 27, 2026

There is no correct option

Each prompt has two options. You score by predicting the side more players have already chosen, not by finding a hidden right answer. After you vote, the game shows the split and whether you matched the side that was ahead.

The number on the screen is computed from the votes cast before yours. Someone who plays later sees a different split, because your vote is part of their tally.

Points for one vote

These amounts are before the streak multiplier. The multiplier is applied at the end and the result is rounded to the nearest whole XP.

You are the first person to vote on that prompt: 15 XP. The screen calls this an early bird, and it counts as matching the hive. Later votes do not take that bonus away.
You pick the side that is already ahead: 10 XP, plus extra points when the split is close. The extra is 10 times the smaller side's share, rounded. A nearly even split pays 15. A 70/30 split pays 13. A 90/10 split pays 11. If everyone so far is on one side, matching them pays 10.
You pick the side that is behind: 1 XP. The screen calls this a lone wolf.
The two sides are already tied, and you pick either one: 5 XP.
One side leads by a single vote and you pick the other side, which makes the counts equal: 5 XP. The screen says you pulled it even.

Why a close split pays more

An obvious majority is an easy read, so it pays close to the 10 XP floor. A split that could go either way is the actual skill of the game, so it pays more, up to 15 XP before the streak multiplier. Missing the majority still pays 1 XP. You are never at zero for answering.

A tie is not treated as a win for either side. Side A is not assumed to be the hive when the counts are equal.

The streak multiplier

The streak is the number of days in a row you have finished all five daily questions. The multiplier for today's round is 1 plus one tenth of the streak you already have when the day starts, and it never goes above 2. A brand-new streak pays 1×. A 5-day streak pays 1.5×. A streak of 10 or more pays double.

Finishing all five adds a day to the streak when you also finished the day before. Miss a day and the next time you finish, the streak starts over. The day changes at midnight Eastern (America/New_York), not 24 hours after your last answer.

Endless mode, private rooms, and looking at a friend's vote do not add to the daily score or the streak. Only the five shared questions do.

What the profile percentage means

Hive agreement is the share of today's answers that matched the side that was ahead, counting a first vote as a match. A tie does not count as a match. Until a prompt has 100 votes, the result is labeled an early hive signal. The percentages are the votes so far, and a small sample can still move.
