• Each reveal costs credits using a same-day decay: 5, then 4, 3, 2, then 1.
• Reveal only the cards you care about first to spend credits wisely.

Common confusion, answered

• "Why can’t I sign up on the home page?" Inner-circle play is invite-only. Use a friend’s join link or the waitlist.
• "I’m a creator, how do I join?" Go to /creator-apply, no friend invite needed.
• "I found a creator’s Ask link, do I need an invite?" No. Sign up when you send your first question from their page.
• "Why did reveal cost change?" Reveal price decays as you reveal more on the same day.
• "Why is my feed quiet?" It usually means your circle needs more daily activity.
• "Why does the same friend keep appearing?" Favourites and favourited groups are weighted higher on Daily answer buttons.
• "How do I limit a pack to certain friends?" Create a group on Me → Circle, add members, then tick that group on the owned pack in Packs.
• "How do I level up faster?" Play Daily, reveal strategically, moderate, and keep streaks alive.
