Survival is endless higher-or-lower with one life. Each round shows two NFL players and a stat category — Player A's number is revealed, and you call whether Player B's is higher or lower. Get it right and the run continues; one miss and it's over. Everyone faces the same daily gauntlet, so runs are directly comparable: the opening rounds are gimmes, and the margins tighten the deeper you go until every call is a coin-flip for sickos only. A run of ten banks the day as a win, but the run itself is the score. Run it back as many times as you want — your best run of the day is what counts, and it's what goes on the daily leaderboard if you're signed in.
Survival is the replayable arcade cousin of the daily Higher or Lower quiz. The daily gauntlet is generated from verified career statistics with a strict difficulty ramp: early rounds have wide, obvious gaps and late rounds pit players whose numbers differ by only a few percent. Because everyone plays the same sequence, a run of 40 means the same thing on any device — and the daily leaderboard ranks the longest runs, with faster times breaking ties. New gauntlet every midnight, local time.
Is it the same questions for everyone?
Yes — one shared gauntlet per day. That's what makes runs comparable on the leaderboard and worth trash-talking about.
Can I retry?
As many times as you want. Your best run of the day is what's saved and ranked. Yes, you can memorize the early rounds on reruns — so can everyone else.
What counts as a win?
A run of ten or more correct calls banks the day as a win. The leaderboard doesn't care about the threshold, though — it ranks the longest run, with time as the tiebreaker.
Does Survival count toward my daily streak?
Yes — finishing at least one run counts as playing for the day, alongside the other daily games.
