How Scoring Works

Guess early, score more

Each question starts with just a portrait and category. You can guess right away or reveal clues first — but each clue lowers your potential points. The person's name is only revealed after you guess.

Portrait only

Category tag visible

100 pts

After 1 clue

“Known for…” description revealed

60 pts

All clues

Nationality and peak fame decade revealed

30 pts

Wrong answers cost you half the potential points for that stage.

Confidence Wager

Before each guess, set your wager to multiply the stakes. Higher wagers mean bigger rewards — and bigger penalties.

1xSafe

Up to 100

-50 if wrong

2xBold

Up to 200

-100 if wrong

3xAll in

Up to 300

-150 if wrong

Bonus Round

After all 10 questions, you'll get the chance to play a bonus round. For each person you guessed correctly, use a slider to guess their birth or death year. The closer you get, the more bonus points you earn.

Exact year+75 pts
Within 1 year+50 pts
Within 3 years+25 pts
Within 5 years+10 pts
More than 5 years off-25 pts

The bonus round is optional — you can skip it entirely or skip individual questions with no penalty.

Maximum score

Max possible score: 3,750

10 × 300 pts (3x wager at portrait) + 10 × 75 bonus (exact year)
