🔧 FIXES SHIPPED — SESSIONS, DAILY CHALLENGE, ANTI-ABUSE
Several of you reported things that didn't add up. You were right, and we've fixed them. Here's what changed.
1️⃣ PLAYS THAT DIDN'T REGISTER
If you closed a game and didn't return to the app, the session stayed open and the play often didn't count — not for rewards, not for the Daily Challenge, not for Season 1. This hit repeat plays of the same game hardest.
It's fixed. Sessions now close on their own when you come back to the app, and we're clearing the backlog of stuck sessions as people return.
2️⃣ DAILY CHALLENGE — "PLAY TWICE"
Because of the above, the two-session challenge was impossible to complete. Nobody was doing it wrong. That type is working now.
3️⃣ ANTI-ABUSE FLAGGED SOME REAL PLAYERS
Our filter was too aggressive and excluded a small number of legitimate players from contributor scores. Those players did nothing wrong. Affected scores correct themselves in tonight's recalculation.
We also closed a gap in the other direction. Nothing more on that one.
✅ TWO THINGS THAT MAKE A PLAY COUNT
Play at least 60 seconds. The in-game reward starts at 30 seconds, but Season 1 needs a full minute. That gap was never stated clearly and that's on us.
Then return to the app. That's what closes the session out.
🌱 SEASON 1 STATUS
The acquisition window is closed, so no new players join a cohort. But everyone already in yours keeps earning you points until 30 September — their 24-72h return, their second game, their Day-7. Keep nudging them.
Thanks to everyone who reported instead of assuming it was their own fault. That's how these got found.
