Loading today’s board…
How to play
Mount Rushmore gives you a category and four slots. Name the top four in that category — most championships, most majors for an organisation, whatever the day’s board asks — and the monument is finished.
Order does not matter. Name anyone in the top four and they take their place; name someone the category does not rank and it counts as a miss. There is no guess limit and no way to lose the board.
How scoring works
Par is twelve guesses, which is three misses per slot, and it is a benchmark rather than a budget: nothing happens when you pass it except that your share line says so. The suite already has two games you can lose, and a third would make it feel like a test rather than an invitation.
If a board defeats you, a way out appears after four misses — misses, not guesses, so a player three slots in and hunting the last name is never offered the door. Taking it reveals the four names rather than taking the board away.
Where the rankings come from
The boards are built from competitive Call of Duty results: championships, major placements, roster histories and career totals across the CDL, the CWL and the MLG era before them. A category is only made into a board when its top four is unambiguous in that data.
That is worth knowing when a board feels wrong. The answer is whatever the record says rather than whatever the discourse says — a player everyone remembers as a top-four name sometimes is not one, and the reverse happens more often than you would expect.
Tips
Start with the names you are certain of, even if you suspect they are ranked third or fourth. A confirmed name tells you what kind of category it is — era-heavy, org-heavy, ring-heavy — and that is usually worth more than a well-reasoned miss.
When you are on the last slot, think about who is missing from the story rather than who is best. The fourth name on most boards is the player nobody lists first.
Play a day you missed
Every daily since 1 August 2026 is still playable in the archive. A past board keeps its own progress, so it never disturbs the one you are playing today. Opening one is a paid supporter perk; today’s puzzle, and every camo you earn on it, stays free.
Questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. Every daily is playable signed out, and your progress is kept in your own browser. Signing in carries your streak and your earned camos between devices.
- Is everyone playing the same puzzle?
- Yes. The puzzle is derived from the calendar date, so everyone playing on the same date gets the same one. The date is your local one, so it changes at your midnight rather than at a fixed hour worldwide.
- Something missing or wrong?
- The Discord is the place to say so. Rosters, spellings and results all come from data that can be out of date or plain wrong, and it gets fixed when someone points at it.
- Can I play a puzzle I missed?
- Yes, if you support the site. Every past daily back to 1 August 2026 is kept in the archive and opens on a board of its own, so it never disturbs the one you are playing today.
