How Fanon works

Answers about the daily games, your score and playing with friends.

Questions and answers

Is it free? Do I have to sign up?

Free, yes. Every daily game, your account, challenging your friends, all free to play. Sign up and log in so every point, every streak, every win is saved from game one. Your scores are proof. Keep them.

What do I win?

Prizes are coming. Official rules soon, and that's all we can say for now. Until then: play daily, get good, bring your friends. Consider this your warm-up era.

What kind of games are these?

Daily games on everything you already know: music, pop culture, tech, and the internet you live on. Name the song from one hook. Rank what everyone else is searching. All those useless facts you've been hoarding? They finally score. One shot each, new games tomorrow.

Can I play more than one game a day?

Play every game, every day. One shot per game though. Everyone gets the same shot, and that's what makes the board mean something.

How do I get on the leaderboard?

Play well, play fast, show up daily. The board runs Monday to Sunday and resets at midnight ET, so every week is a fresh shot at the top. Anyone’s week to take. Might as well be yours.

Do points ever reset?

The weekly board resets every Monday at midnight ET. Your all time points never reset. Build the number.

Does last week’s board change after the week ends?

No. Once the week closes, last week’s board is final. What you see Monday is what stands.

What are the bonus points for?

Connect X, get 250. Once. Disconnect and it comes back off.

What's a streak?

Playing every day. Miss one day and we freeze it for you, once a week. Miss two in a row and it's gone. Still brag-worthy.

What happens if I miss a day?

Nothing, once a week. Your streak survives one missed day and picks up right where you left off. Miss two in a row and it’s over.

Can I play against my friends?

Yes! Once you've finished a game on the result page, start a group and invite others to challenge your score on the exact same game. Everyone using your link will be on your private group leaderboard there comparing their score against yours.

My friend beat me. Explain.

Better taste. It happens. Growth is uncomfortable.

Should I follow you on social?

Obviously. Clues for the daily games drop there, plus results, plus the occasional victory lap. Share your score, tag us, talk your talk. We see everything and we respond to most of it. @fanonclub on X.

What do I need to play?

A browser, preferably Brave. Phone or desktop, nothing to download. If you're reading this, you're ready.

What about cheaters?

One person, one account. Run more than one and you lose all of them — banned, locked out, no login. Points, streak, leaderboard spot, gone with the account. Bans are final. Your rank means something because we make sure it does.
