Most trivia games reward you for knowing the right answer. Seldom rewards you for thinking of the answer nobody else did.

The idea is simple. Imagine 100 people were asked the same question. Every answer is scored from 0 to 100 based on how many would say it. Your job? Find the answers that would score the lowest. The ones nobody would think of. The rare ones. The seldom ones.

Getting the right answer is easy. Getting the right answer that nobody else thought of? That takes a different kind of thinking.

How Seldom works

Every day, every player in the world gets the same question. You get 5 guesses. Each guess scores between 0 and 100 - the lower the better. A score of 0 means almost nobody would think of your answer. We call that a Seldom. It's the ultimate achievement.

Your total score is the sum of all 5 guesses, out of a possible 500. The best players think sideways - avoiding the obvious and hunting for the rare. Apple might score 95 for "Name a fruit." But Rambutan? That's a Seldom.

Why we built it

We love daily games. The ritual of it - the same puzzle for everyone, the shared experience, the quick hit of fun before you start your day. But we noticed that every daily game rewards you for being correct. Wordle rewards the right word. Connections rewards the right groups. Nobody rewards you for being different.

Seldom flips that on its head. You're not trying to be smart. You're trying to be interesting. You're not competing against the puzzle - you're competing against the crowd. And the best part? You don't need to be a trivia expert. You just need to think differently.

A game for everyone

We design every Seldom puzzle to be playable by anyone. No specialist knowledge required. No trick questions. Just everyday categories - fruit, countries, animals, films - where everyone can think of a few answers, but the real challenge is going deeper.

Whether you're playing on the bus, over breakfast, or in the pub with mates, Seldom is designed to spark those "I never would have thought of that!" conversations.
