Scores, streaks and the leaderboard: how points work in Brethreign games
How every Brethreign game scores, how the weekly and monthly leaderboards reset, who becomes a weekly champion, and which game badges you can earn.
Every game on Brethreign adds to one shared score, and that score puts you on the leaderboard. This guide explains where points come from, how the leaderboard resets, how weekly champions are chosen and which badges you can earn along the way.
Your numbers at the top
Open the Games page at /games. The four tiles at the top are yours:
- Score this week. All the points you’ve earned since Monday.
- Plays this week. How many rounds you’ve finished.
- Best single run. Your highest score in one round.
- Your rank (week). Where you stand on this week’s leaderboard.
Where points come from
| Game | Points per round |
|---|---|
| Bible Quiz | 1 per right answer: up to 5, 10 or 20 depending on the length you pick |
| Church History | 1 per right answer, up to 5 |
| Character Match | 1 per right answer, up to 5 |
| Verse Memory | 1 per right answer, up to 5 |
| Reference Scramble | 1 per right answer, up to 5 |
| 4 Pics 1 Word | 1 per right answer, up to 5 |
| Chess Puzzle of the Day | 1, 2, 3 or 5 depending on how hard it is, once a day |
The Chess Ladder is for practice and doesn’t add points.
Streaks inside a round
In every quiz-style game, a 🔥 counter tracks how many you’ve got right in a row. Two in a row brings up a “🔥 in a row” burst, and five or more says you’re on fire. A wrong answer resets the streak but not your score. Your best streak appears on the result screen and in your share line.
The leaderboard
Scroll down the Games page to the Leaderboard. Tabs let you switch between three views:
- Week. Resets every Monday at midnight. Everyone starts again.
- Month. Resets on the 1st of each month.
- All time. Every point you’ve ever earned.
The board shows the top 20 players, ranked by total score. If two people are level, the one with the higher best single round goes first, then the one who played more.
Because the weekly board starts fresh every Monday, a new member has as much chance as someone who’s been playing for months.
This week’s champions
Above the leaderboard is 👑 This week’s champions: the top player in each game for the week. So even if you never top the overall board, you can still be the champion of Verse Memory or the Chess Puzzle of the Day.
Game badges
Two badges on your profile come from games:
- 📖 Scholar. Play 10 rounds in the games room.
- 🎯 Perfect Round. Get every answer right in a round of five or more questions.
Sharing your result
Every quiz-style game ends with three buttons. 📣 Share to feed opens a breath with your result filled in. ⎘ Copy share line copies a one-line summary such as your score, streak and time, for WhatsApp or anywhere else. Play again starts another round.
Playing in the right spirit
The leaderboard is there for fun and encouragement. Celebrate other people’s good weeks, invite friends to beat your score, and remember what the games are really for: knowing scripture better and enjoying time with God’s people.
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” (1 Corinthians 9:24)
