Hi-Score

Fair play

Every score on the board is earned.

People pay to play, and a prize goes to the top score. That only works if every score is real, so fair play is built into how the games run.

The server keeps score

Your phone sends your taps. Our server replays them with the same game and works out the score. A number typed into a phone never counts.

A fresh attempt every time

Each ranked attempt is built new on our server, so there is no pattern to learn by heart. Every version is tested to be equally hard.

Bots get caught

Every ranked run is checked for timing a person can't produce. Anything flagged is held off the board until a person reviews it.

The same game on every phone

The game plays the same on an entry-level Android and the newest flagship, on any screen size, at any frame rate.

Winners are verified

We confirm who every winner is before a prize goes out. The biggest prizes are settled in a live playoff.

Rules up front

Every league shows its game, prize, close time and tiebreak before you pay for a round.

What gets an account closed

  • Bots, scripts, auto-clickers or modified browsers.
  • More than one account, or someone else playing for you.
  • Tampering with the game or its connection, or using a bug for advantage.

Runs that break these rules are voided and any prize is withheld. Every decision can be reviewed against the replay of the attempt.

Testing

Every game is tested against cheating before it opens to ranked play: by our own security engineers first, then by an independent tester before launch.
