Understanding how Spylled scores your quiz is straightforward, but there are a few nuances that can make the difference between winning and coming second.
Every question is worth exactly 1 point. Multiple choice, lyrics fill-in-the-blank, and yes/no questions all carry equal weight. There's no bonus for harder questions or streaks — it's purely about accuracy.
When two or more players finish with the same score, the player who completed the quiz fastest wins. Your timer starts the moment you click "Start Game" and stops when you hit "Submit." This means every second counts, even if you've got all the answers right.
A common strategy is to answer the questions you're confident about first and quickly, then spend your remaining time on the harder ones. But be careful — rushing leads to mistakes.
Majority vote questions work differently from everything else. These questions have no objectively correct answer. Instead, at the end of the day, we count all the responses. The answer chosen by the most players becomes the "correct" answer, and everyone who picked it gets a bonus point.
This means majority vote questions reward you for thinking like the crowd, not for knowing a fact. It's a completely different skill — part game theory, part psychology.
The daily winner is determined after the quiz closes (midnight UTC). We calculate final scores including the majority vote bonus, apply the speed tiebreaker, and announce the winner. The prize is delivered digitally to the winner's account email.
