Tips

How the fast players stay fast

🎯

Sweep, don't stare

Let your eyes drift across the whole grid — the face you don't recognise pops out on its own.

🧾

Know your faces

There are no names on the board. Study your squad's photos until a stranger feels wrong instantly.

🫷

Never panic-tap

One wrong tap costs 3 seconds. Three seconds is an entire good round.

🔁

Play daily

The shuffle changes everything, so consistency beats one lucky sprint.
