Accounts & Cheat Codes

Do I need to create an account?

No. When you visit the site, we automatically create an anonymous 'Ghost' account for you. You can start voting immediately.

What is a Cheat Code?

Because we don't ask for your email or password, the Cheat Code is the only way to save your account.

It generates a unique phrase (e.g., neon-tiger-warp-1000) that acts as your permanent login key.

I lost my Cheat Code. Can I recover my votes?

No.

We prioritize privacy, meaning we do not collect email addresses or phone numbers. If you lose your Cheat Code, there is no way for us to verify who you are or recover your account.

⚠️ Please write your Cheat Code down!

Can I vote on my phone and my computer?

Yes! Generate a Cheat Code on your first device, then use the 'Load Cheat Code' button on your second device to sync them up.

Scoring & Rules

How is accuracy calculated?

Accuracy is the absolute difference between your predicted score and the final OpenCritic score. If you guess 85 and the game gets 82, you are 'Off by 3 pts'.

What does 'Will Not Release' mean?

If you check this box, you are predicting the game will be delayed to 2027 or later. You still need to provide a score projection in case you are wrong and it does release!

When are results revealed?

Community averages and your personal ranking are revealed automatically as soon as a game releases and an OpenCritic score is available.
