The daily game
Mustard Seed
Five prompts a day, thirty seconds each, the same for everyone on Earth. Every prompt has a list of correct answers. Common answers earn a little; rare ones earn a lot.
Why “Mustard Seed”?
Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a mustard seed: the smallest of all seeds, which grows into a tree where the birds come to rest (Matthew 13:31–32). In the game, the rarest correct answer is the Mustard Seed: small, hard to find, and worth the most.
How to play
Read the prompt
“Name one of the Apostles.” The clock starts at thirty seconds.
Type an answer
Any language counts, and small typos are forgiven. If it isn’t on the list, try again while time remains.
Score by rarity
The less often an answer is given, the more it’s worth. The rarest, hand-picked answer is the Mustard Seed: 100 points.
Share your harvest
