Check the winner yourself.
Every week one person wins $100. You should not have to take our word for how they scored. So the whole run is published, and the button below replays it inside your own browser and works the score out from scratch.
Replay a settled week
Why this is worth more than a promise
The game is deterministic. Everyone in the world flies the same course each week, and a run is nothing but the list of frames on which a finger went down. Hand that list to the physics and the same score comes out, every time, on any machine. So a score is not a claim anybody has to believe. It is a calculation, and anyone can do it.
The page loads /comet/core.js, which is the identical file the
game itself runs, and asks it to fly the published taps. If our number and
your browser's number ever disagreed, we would be caught by our own visitors
within minutes of publishing.
Do it without us
Nothing above needs this page. Anyone can run the same check from a terminal, against the same two public files:
curl -s https://api.exocet.ai/api/verify/2026-W36 > run.json
curl -s https://thecometgame.com/comet/core.js > core.js
node -e "const C=require('./core.js'),r=require('./run.json');
console.log(C.simulate(r.week, r.taps).score, 'vs published', r.claimed)"
What we do not claim
That no one will ever try to cheat. The physics ships inside the page, on purpose, because that is what makes this check possible at all, and it also means a determined person with a computer can search for a strong run offline instead of flying it.
So the last word is not a machine. Before any prize is paid, a person opens the winning run and reads it: how long it claimed to take against how long actually passed, how many taps a second, how many gates were threaded at the very edge. A run that nobody flew does not look like one that somebody did. No score is ever paid without that look, whatever number it is.
Suspicious of a score, including one of ours? Replay it above, then write to us with the week and what you found.
