Culture IQ Leaderboard

This is the win — no magic number to hit. Feed polls-of-knowledge and Heat Checks write one ledger: +2 a correct, −3 an uncleared miss, everyone starts at 100. Highest Culture IQ takes the crown; answer the most to break a tie. Paid runs count here too — this is for the crown, not giveaway odds.

How it works

  • Every correct answer raises your Culture IQ; the highest score tops the leaderboard.
  • There's no number to hit — you climb by answering the most, and answering them right.
  • Wrong answers cost a strike and skip to the next question. 3 free strikes every day — resets at midnight UTC.
  • Play a Heat Check run on free strikes and you earn one giveaway entry — the winner is still drawn at random.
  • Need more strikes? $1 gets you a pack of 4. Purchased strikes keep your run alive for the leaderboard and badges — they never earn entries or affect giveaway odds.

No purchase necessary to enter — and purchases never improve your odds. Free daily strikes provide the only path to entries, every day. Must be 18+. Giveaway void where prohibited — see the giveaway page for official rules.
