Weekly XP pushes you up the Bronze → Master league in each skill pool, while your daily streak stacks bonus XP.

🏆

Leagues & XP

Every game you play earns XP toward one or more of 9 independent cognitive pools — Memory, Logic & Reasoning, Language, Spatial Intelligence, Processing Speed, Executive Function, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Philosophy. Each pool has its own six-tier ladder:
🥉Bronze
🥈Silver
🥇Gold
💠Platinum
💎Diamond
👑Master
⬆️ 200 XP in a pool this week promotes you a tier.
⬇️ Under 50 XP this week and you're relegated a tier.
🎯 Each pool ranks separately — you can be Gold in Language and Bronze in Spatial at the same time.

How to Play Each Game

Four Player Chess
2v2LiveStrategy
  1. 1Four players share one board as two teams of two — you and your partner each control your own set of pieces.
  2. 2Turns rotate through all four seats. Move like normal chess when it's your turn.
  3. 3Capturing an enemy king — or checkmating it — eliminates that player instantly. Coordinate over voice chat to defend each other.
  4. 4The last team with a king still standing wins the match.

  3. 3Every move syncs live to your opponent. Export the finished game as a PGN file from the in-game menu.
  4. 4Checkmate — or your opponent's resignation or clock timeout — wins the match.

Quick Questions

What's the difference between Quick Play, Create and Join?

Quick Play matches you with the next available opponent instantly. Create opens a private room with a code — share it with friends. Join lets you enter a friend's room code to play together.

Ranked vs Casual — what's the difference?

Casual matches are for practice — they don't touch your league standing. Ranked matches count toward your weekly league XP and can move your tier up or down, so bring your best game.

Do I lose XP if I lose a match?

No — every match earns XP whether you win or lose, losers just earn a bit less. What can go up or down is your weekly league tier, depending on how much XP you bank in that pool.

What happens if I disconnect or leave mid-match?

Leaving an active match auto-resigns for you and hands the win to your opponent(s) — so try to finish what you start, or use a resign button if the game offers one instead of just closing the tab.

How do I keep my daily streak going?

Just finish one match, any game, any mode, once a day. Miss a full day and the streak resets to zero — so even a quick casual game keeps it alive.
