Terms of Service

By using Rarest Answer, you agree to these terms. The game is free to play in the browser. There is no account.

The game

A prompt asks you to name something that fits. An accepted answer is correct. A rarer correct answer scores more. A daily round is seven shared prompts and resets at local midnight. Unlimited play and single-category play use the same tiers. The points table, Spotlight (one double per round), and the timer switch are described on how to play.

Streak and round stats stay in localStorage on this device. You can clear them in the browser. We do not restore a streak from another device, because there is no account to restore it from.

Use of the site

Guides, prompt pages, and the game are for personal use. You may quote a page if you credit it and link to the original URL. Do not copy the site and present it as your own game.

Scores and accuracy

A tier is a rank inside that prompt's answer list. It is computed from the popularity number stored with the answer. On the published prompts, that number is a Wikipedia pageview count, or a Wiktionary pageview count for the English interjection list. A prompt whose source is fixture would still have placeholder numbers. None of the published prompts use that label. Rankings change when the dataset is rebuilt. A score is not a scientific ranking, a box-office ranking, or a claim that one real-world thing is "better" than another.

We try to keep guides accurate. A rule that a public page does not state is left out rather than filled in. Game updates and dataset rebuilds can make a page stale. Check the date on the page, and check the prompt's source field before you treat a rarity order as a measured pageview rank.

Other games

Rarest Answer is an independent daily trivia game. Pages about other games are unofficial and are not affiliated with those games. Rarest Answer is not affiliated with Krillion or with any other game named on this site, and it is not endorsed by the people who make those games. Names are used so you can tell the products apart.

Third-party services and links

Pages may link to other sites. We do not control those sites. Advertising, analytics, and comments load only when the matching environment variables are set. What they receive is described in the privacy policy. When comments are enabled, GitHub's terms apply to the GitHub account you use to post.

Trademarks

Krillion and the other game names, logos, and characters mentioned on this site belong to their owners. Rarest Answer claims no ownership of those marks. The tier names Common, Familiar, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, and the boost name Spotlight, are labels this game uses for its own scoring. They are not the tier names of another product.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as-is. Use it at your own risk. We are not liable for damages arising from your use of the site or from relying on a score, a guide, or a rarity order.

Changes

We may revise these terms by posting the new text on this page. The date under the title is the revision date.
