Accepted Answer

Your score is calculated as: Base Score + Wins - Penalties. You earn 1 point for each puzzle you win (fastest time). You lose 1 point for each daily puzzle you miss. Base score can be set to import historical data.

Yes! You can join as many rooms as you like. This allows you to compete with different friend groups, family members, or public communities simultaneously.

Question 6

If you miss a daily puzzle, you receive a penalty of -1 point added to your score. This encourages daily participation and keeps competitions fair for active players.

Question 7

Are private rooms truly private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private rooms (marked as not public) do not appear in public listings and can only be joined with the room code. Password-protected rooms add an additional layer of security requiring the correct password to join.

Question 8

How do I submit my puzzle time?

Accepted Answer

Click the floating action button (+ icon) in your room, then enter your completion time in the format shown (minutes:seconds). The system will automatically track the puzzle number and size.

Question 9

Can I edit or delete a submitted time?

Currently, submitted times cannot be edited or deleted through the UI to maintain competition integrity. If you need to make a correction, contact your room administrator.

Question 10

What puzzle sizes are supported?

oneup arena supports all standard OneUp puzzle sizes: 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, and 9x9. The system automatically tracks which size you're solving based on your submission pattern.

Question 11

How do I become a room admin?

Accepted Answer

The person who creates a room automatically becomes the admin. Admins can assign additional admins to other members. Admins have special privileges like deleting the room.

Question 12

Can I leave a room after joining?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can leave any room at any time. If you're the last admin of a room with other members, you'll need to assign a new admin before leaving. If you're the only member, you can delete the room.

Question 13

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

oneup arena is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it on your mobile device from your browser and it will behave like a native app with offline support and home screen access.

Question 14

How do global leaderboards work?

Accepted Answer

Global leaderboards show top players across all public rooms based on total points earned. Only public, non-password-protected rooms contribute to global rankings.

Question 15

Can I import historical puzzle data?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use the base score feature when joining a room. Set your base score to reflect your historical wins, and the system will add future wins and penalties from that starting point.
