How to play

One flight has seven rounds. Every point you score lifts the plane ten metres; slow answers make it sink.

  1. Name rounds (5 per day)

    You get a category and a target, such as “a country with a forest area close to 300,000 km²”. Name any country, element or other item from the round's list. The closer its real value is to the target, the more points you earn.

  2. Estimate rounds (2 per day)

    You get a direct question, such as “How many known moons does Neptune have?”. Type a number. Shortcuts like 1.2k, 3.5m and 2b are accepted. Year questions score by distance in years.

  3. The clock

    Each round lasts 30 seconds from the moment you open it. The server keeps the time, so refreshing does not reset it. After three seconds the plane sinks 4 m per second, up to 108 m per round.

  4. Invalid answers

    A name that is not on the list, or text that is not a number, does not lock. Try again while time remains. Your first valid answer locks the round.

  5. Golden round and dialed answers

    One hidden round each day doubles its points. An answer within 1% of the target is “dialed in” and earns a 25-point bonus. A perfect day reaches 1,000 points, or 10,000 m.

  6. Daily reset and streaks

    A new flight starts at midnight New York time, including daylight-saving changes. Finish a flight each day to grow your streak. Every seven days in a row earns a freeze that covers one missed day; you can hold two.
