OORT

What is OORT?

OORT is a daily trivia game with a space-launch theme. Each day, all players face the same seven prompts, with 25 seconds to answer each one. Any valid answer counts, but the scoring is tied to rarity: the rarer your answer, the further your launch travels — from Earth orbit out toward Alpha Centauri.

The 25-second clock and rarity-based range make a clean risk/reward loop, but the real test is whether the seven daily prompts actually scale in difficulty rather than just rewarding trivia luck.

Seven quick prompts in 25 seconds each is exactly the kind of thing I can squeeze into a coffee break — and knowing everyone's on the same mission makes it easy to compare notes without it eating my w

The 'rare answers fly further' mechanic is like being the only person who caught the blink-and-you'll-miss-it background detail in a movie — the deep cuts finally get their spotlight.

How to play OORT

A new mission starts at midnight ET for everyone. You work through seven prompts, one at a time, with a 25-second timer on each. Enter any valid answer to fire the engine; the game ranks answers by rarity, and rarer responses send you farther into space. After the mission, a flight log lets you review each launch and see what you answered.

Tips & strategy

• Think beyond the obvious — common answers won't get you far.
• Use the 25-second timer wisely; a quick but unusual answer can beat a slow common one.
• Check your streak and 'at par' counters on the results screen to track your consistency.
• Between missions, the built-in space fact generator offers a low-stakes way to pass the time.
