Because we do not ask for your email or password, the Cheat Code is the only way to save your account.
It generates a unique phrase, like neon-tiger-warp-1000, that works as your permanent login key.

We prioritize privacy, which means we do not collect email addresses or phone numbers for account recovery. If you lose your Cheat Code, there is no way for us to verify ownership and restore the account.
Please write your Cheat Code down.
Head to Head is a comparison mode for up to 6 players. Enter saved display names and we will generate an accuracy race chart plus a leaderboard from scored games.
You can compare across all scored games or switch to shared games only for a cleaner apples-to-apples matchup.
Tribunals are private groups for up to 12 members. They are meant for friend groups, rival circles, or any closed group that wants its own leaderboard, shared comparison view, and private prediction events.
You join a tribunal by entering an invite code from an existing member. Tribunals require a saved account, so create or load a Cheat Code before joining one.
Once inside, your normal Scoracle predictions can power the tribunal leaderboard, and the group owner can also run focused slates for everyone in that tribunal.
A Challenge Slate is a timed tribunal event built around a smaller list of selected games. The owner chooses the games, entry deadline, and final cutoff date.
Everyone in the tribunal needs to lock predictions for every selected game before the entry deadline. After the cutoff, the challenge gets its own standings based only on that slate.
Challenge standings are separate from the full tribunal leaderboard, so a short event can have its own winner without changing the main group race.
A Special Slate is a manual yes-or-no prediction card for one-off events, showcases, or weird group bets that do not fit the normal OpenCritic score format.
Members submit answers once and those picks lock immediately. Picks reveal to the group after everyone has submitted, while the owner can set the answer key to grade the slate.
Special Slate results stay inside the tribunal and do not affect the site leaderboard or your regular game accuracy.
A Ranked Special Slate asks you to put a selected group of games in the order you expect them to score, from highest to lowest.
Your entry locks as soon as you submit it. Order Accuracy is based on how often you put two games in the correct order once their final OpenCritic scores are available.
Site-wide events may accept late entries using only games that have not locked yet. Full Slate standings and late-entry results are shown separately.
TrueScore is the score a game would have once all reviews missing from OpenCritic are added.
OpenCritic sometimes takes time to sync newly published reviews, which can delay its displayed score. TrueScore includes those missing reviews to give you a more current picture.
Users earn permanent badges based on their prediction performance. These appear on your profile once a game releases and scores are finalized.
Predict the exact OpenCritic score.
Predict within 2 points of the final score.
Predict within 3 points of the final score.
You can earn badges as an anonymous user, but if you clear cookies or switch devices without saving a Cheat Code, that collection can be lost.
Swipe Mode is a fast voting deck for games you have not rated yet. You can open it from the home screen header.
On desktop, use Enter to submit a score, Tab to skip forward, and the arrow keys to move through the queue.
Badges are game-specific accuracy rewards like Oracle, Sharp Guess, and Close But No Cigar.
Achievements are broader profile milestones tied to season participation and long-term prediction behavior. Your profile now separates them into dedicated tabs.
