Challenge rules

Who runs them

The challenges are run by [owner not set], who makes NomeXTerra. For any question, write to [contact email not set].

The challenges

Each post says the letter or the day, the closing time and how many prizes there are.

• Saturday Challenge (every week): we post a letter and five categories. You answer in the post’s comments.
• Daily Letter challenge (in the app): on the announced day, you play the Daily Letter in the app. The result saved by the game server is what counts.
• NomeXTerra Cup (every month): a live final in a NomeXTerra room with the month’s best players, invited on their challenge and ranking results.

Who can take part

• People living in Mozambique, aged 13 or over (the game’s minimum age).
• Under-18s need a parent’s or guardian’s permission to receive a prize.
• One prize per person per week. One account per person: fake or duplicate accounts are disqualified.
• The organiser and anyone helping to run a challenge can’t win that challenge.

Taking part is free

You don’t need to buy anything to take part or to win. The pass and the cheats give no advantage in the challenges: the Daily Letter is the same for everyone and has no cheats.

How you win

The challenges are about knowledge and speed. There is no draw.

• Saturday Challenge: the earliest comments with all five answers correct win, by comment time. Only each person’s first comment counts, and an edited comment counts as a new one.
• Daily Letter challenge: the best result in the announced mode wins (the shortest time in clock mode, or the most points in points mode). In a tie, the faster time wins.
• NomeXTerra Cup: whoever has the most points at the end of the final wins.

Which answers count

An answer counts if it starts with the challenge’s letter and fits the category, as in the game’s voting. Words with or without accents are accepted, and so are small typos that don’t change the word.

If an answer is doubtful, the organiser decides, and that decision is final.

Prizes

• The prize is airtime for Vodacom, Movitel or Tmcel, for the amount announced in the post.
• We send the airtime within 48 hours of the winner sending us their number. It can’t be exchanged for cash.
• If a winner doesn’t reply within 7 days, the prize goes to the next person on the list.

Your data

We announce winners by their player name or social media handle. We only ask for a phone number by private message, never in the comments, use it only to send the airtime and delete it afterwards.

More details in the Privacy Policy.

Fair play

Anyone using bots, several accounts, copied answers or bugs in the game is disqualified. If there’s fraud or a technical problem, we may rerun, change or cancel a challenge, and we’ll say so in the post.
