From Egg to Golden Duck
This week's league rewards how well you answer in Play, not how much you play. Separately, the global ranking orders everyone by rating: your real level, which only moves in Play and the dial. It rewards the all-rounder, and if one topic is your thing, compete on the per-category ranking.
Weekly leagues
The weekly league rewards how well you answer in Play: every right answer scores by difficulty (easy 1, medium 2, hard 3) and the best average per question wins. You qualify with 30 answers in the week. Every Monday everyone starts from zero. While we're a small crowd, everybody plays in the same league.

Today's board
Finish the daily trivia signed in and your score lands on today's board, ranked by score and then time.
The global leaderboard
Your rating climbs with right answers and slips with misses in Play and the dial (beating a hard question pays more, and a miss costs less than a hit at your level), so a newcomer on a hot streak can pass a veteran. It never resets: you're ranked after 20 answers and, if you stop playing, it slips gently after 3 days until you're back.
Play it. Read it. Challenge someone.
Every question comes from a story, so you always get the why behind the answer.
