Rules

Draft rules for testing. The final version will be reviewed before launch.

Entry

Points can't be bought. A booking fee only pays for a place in a skill game (Word Arena or Pursuit); it never buys points, hints or an advantage. There are no tickets or raffles.
Booking fees are non-refundable, including if you cancel, miss check-in, don't attend or lose. If we cancel the show, we refund you.
You must be 18 or over.
One account per person. Your account is linked to one TikTok username, which a moderator verifies.

Games run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 16:00–20:00 UK time. There are ten contestant places per day; on busy days the owner can open up to 50.
Booking for each game week opens on the Saturday before it, at 00:00 UK time (superfans from the Friday, 00:00 UK time).
If a booking fee applies, your place is held for 20 minutes while you pay with Paystack, and is confirmed once the payment goes through. After booking you can see your position for the day.
Each day closes for booking at 15:45 UK time on that day. Past days can never be booked.
You may hold one place per day, and you can book as many different days as you like.
Places are first come, first served. Slot numbers are queue positions, not exact start times.
When a day is full you can join its waitlist. A waitlist position is not a guaranteed place.
Your TikTok username is shown on the public contestant board and on the LIVE. Your display name is not.

Check in between 15:45 and 16:15 UK time on your day, and stay available until the host calls you.
You can cancel from your account before 16:00 on the day with no penalty. After that, contact a moderator.
No-show: if you book and don't attend, you lose 20 points. That can take your balance below zero. A moderator reviews every no-show before any deduction, and you can appeal within 7 days.
There is no penalty if the host cancels, the website or TikTok has an outage, or you were checked in but never called.
Negative points are only a game balance. You will never be asked to pay, donate or send gifts to clear them.

One scored game per person per day. Each game can award up to 2,000 points (coins of gift value).
Booking a Word Arena or Pursuit Challenge place has a small fee, paid with Paystack. Mystery Boxes is a game of chance, so it is always free to book, and paid places are never given Mystery Boxes.
Word Arena: 10 four-letter words in 15 minutes, 5 tries each, 200 points per word. Up to 5 hints a game; a word solved with a hint scores half.
Pursuit Challenge: 6 easy, 2 medium and 2 hard questions; 15 seconds to lock in each answer on your phone. First to the bottom of the ladder wins the prize; a tie goes to sudden death.
Mystery Boxes: free to book. Right answers in Clue Hunt earn clues about where the best prize is; the Banker may offer a deal. Your prize is the deal you accept, or the last box standing.
Superfans on Samosanction's TikTok LIVE get: book a day early, one free booking every week, one replay every week. A replay never loses you points: the higher score counts.
Points are exchanged for TikTok coins: the host sends your reward as a gift while you are in the guest box.
