Small challenges. Clear rules.

Choose any of the ten games

No subscription is needed. Open a game to start as a guest, or sign in before playing to save results to your account across devices. Google sign-in brings guest progress from this browser into your account. Existing account attempts for the same day take priority.

A fresh edition at midnight

All daily editions use the New York calendar date, regardless of where you play. Everyone gets the same edition. A game started before midnight must be reopened to play the new day’s edition.

Points and the daily leaderboard

Complete a puzzle successfully to earn 100 points. The exception is Daily Trivia: each of its five questions is worth 20 points. The daily maximum is 1,000 points. A loss is saved with zero points. Ties are ordered by completed games, then player nickname.

One result per saved player

After a win or final loss, reopening that game shows your result instead of starting a new scored attempt. Guests are identified by a browser cookie, so a different browser or cleared cookies creates a new identity. Signed-in limits follow the account across devices.

Keep your streak going

Finish at least one game each New York day. A completed loss or a finished trivia quiz also counts toward your streak. Your streak remains visible during the following day while you have time to play again.

Play fairly

Keep the leaderboard friendly. Automated solves, repeated guest identities, and scripted submissions do not represent a fair daily attempt. This casual leaderboard does not certify one unique person per entry.
