Brain WasherHow to play
One claim a day. Three bets. Barry hosts — the crowd decides half the fun. Here's the whole game in one minute.
Say today's claim is: “A goldfish's memory lasts three seconds.”
Round 1 — The Fact
Is it true or false? Pick a side, then set the slider — that's your bet. Slide to 95% and you're shoving chips in: big win if you're right, big loss if you're wrong. Hover at 55% and you're hedging — small stakes either way. The slider is how much of your stack rides on your own answer. (The goldfish line? Famous — and false. They remember for months. The confident skeptics get paid.)
Round 2 — The Crowd
Now forget the truth. Of everyone playing today, which way will most of them vote? You can know the claim is false and still bet the crowd says TRUE — everyone's heard the goldfish thing somewhere. Same slider, same meaning: how much rides on your read of other people. Read the crowd right and it pays — up to +1,000.
Round 3 — The Jackpot
You've called which way the crowd votes. Last bet: how hard will they believe it? Overnight, Barry tallies every slider in the crowd. Maybe they come in timid — 50–65%, could go either way. Maybe solidly sure — 65–85%. Maybe all-in — 85–100%, betting the house. Pick the band most of them land in and it's +2,000. One in three, the hardest read of the night — so it pays the most.
How it settles
Rounds 2 and 3 settle overnight, once the whole crowd is in. Your vault holds what you've banked — Barry never takes it back. Come back tomorrow for the reveal, the payout, and a fresh claim. That's the streak.
