How tournaments work
- Each run contains 15 timed real-estate questions.
- Difficulty rises and the clock shortens as the run progresses.
- Correct answers score for difficulty and remaining time.
- A wrong answer or timeout resets the answer streak, but the run continues.
- The highest verified qualified score in each calendar month wins that month’s signed-book prize. Ties break by most correct answers, then fastest total answer time.
Official prize rules
- Eligibility: open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are 18 or older. Void where prohibited.
- Qualification: the player must spend at least $50 in-game during the calendar month and finish first among qualified players in that month’s verified prize standings. More than $50 may be spent, but does not improve the score or odds.
- Verification: winner identity, qualifying purchases, score integrity, and rule compliance must be confirmed before award. Automated, altered, duplicate, or fraudulent play is disqualified.
- Limit: one signed-book prize total per calendar month. Only one winner is awarded; no additional signed-book prizes are available that month.
- Fulfillment: after verification and receipt of a valid U.S. mailing address, the signed book will be mailed within 30 days.
- Skill contest: results are determined by knowledge, accuracy, and speed. Entry fees purchase access to a fixed skill contest; this is not wagering and there is no random winner selection.
