Why play brain games with friends?
A score on its own is just a number. A score your friend is trying to beat is a reason to play again. Witbolt is built around that: every Battle ends with a challenge you can send, and every head-to-head result offers a rematch.
How a friend challenge works
- Play a Battle. About 12 quick tasks across logic, patterns, numbers and recall, usually done in around two minutes.
- Send the challenge. Tap Challenge a Friend. Witbolt creates a link and a short code. Share them in any messaging app.
- Your friend sees your score. The challenge shows your name and Battle Score so they know what they need to beat.
- They play when they are ready. They play an equivalent Battle any time in the next seven days.
- Compare head to head. You both see who won, the two Battle Scores, and how each of you did in every skill family.
- Rematch. One tap starts a rematch, and the competition continues.
Easy for your friend to join
- No sign-up wall. Your friend can accept as a guest and play straight away, and save their progress later if they want to.
- Works with a link or a code. Your friend can open your challenge link on their phone, or type the 8-character code into Witbolt.
- Seven days to answer. Challenges stay open for a week, so nobody has to drop what they are doing.
Fair, even when you play at different times
You and your friend do not get a copy of the same tasks. Your friend gets an equivalent Battle: the same mix of task types and difficulty levels, freshly generated. Sharing answers does not help, and both of you face the same kind of challenge.
Scores are worked out on Witbolt’s servers, not on anyone’s phone. Correct answers count most, and speed is only a small bonus on some task types. How scoring works.
Rematches keep it going
Close result? Tap Rematch. You play a fresh Battle first, then your friend gets your new score to beat. There is only ever one live rematch per match, so if you both tap Rematch you get the same one.
Friend challenges and your rating
Friend challenges can move your Witbolt Rating, which reflects wins, draws and losses against other players. Rating is part of the free game, and ranked play is never pay-to-win.
Witbolt is a game. Its scores and ratings describe how you play inside Witbolt. They are not IQ scores or a measure of intelligence.
