How to play
Five cards. Five molehills. Three rounds a day.
The game
- A new game starts every day at midnight in your time zone. Everyone gets the same cards for the same day number.
- Each day has 3 rounds of 5 cards. Each card is a real, surprising number, like the sesame seeds on 100 Big Mac buns or the traffic lights in Dallas.
- Cards appear one at a time. Bury each card in one of 5 molehills before you see the next card.
- Hill 1 holds the biggest number. Hill 5 holds the smallest.
- Once a card is buried it cannot move.
- You get 12 seconds per card. If time runs out, the mole buries the card in a random empty hill.
- When the round ends, the true values are revealed with a cited source.
Scoring
The three rounds are worth 100, 150 and 250 points, so 500 is the most you can score. Each card earns a share of its round.
- Exact hill: the full share
- One hill off: half the share
- Two hills off: a fifth of the share
- Three or more off: nothing
The later rounds are worth more, so save your best thinking for round 3. Read the scoring guide for the full picture.

Mole Intel
Once a day you can ask Mole Intel. It reads you the base fact behind the card you are holding. Use it on the card that stumps you. Your share card shows a 📰 if you used it.
Your share card
