What is the daily Reversi challenge?

The daily challenge turns Reversi into a shared contest. Here is how it works and why players come back for it.

Quick answer: The daily challenge is a single Reversi game that is the same for every player each day. Because everyone faces the identical setup and computer, you can compare your result and finishing time against other players on that day's leaderboard. A new challenge appears every day at midnight UTC.

One shared game for everyone

Each day, every player gets the same daily Reversi setup, so the challenge is a level playing field. Beat the computer as quickly and decisively as you can, and your result lands on that day's daily leaderboard alongside everyone else's. Because the game is identical for all, it is a pure test of who plays best.

A fresh challenge every day

A new daily game unlocks at midnight UTC, and past days stay browsable so you can see how you did. It pairs naturally with the main leaderboards and with online multiplayer if you would rather test yourself against a live opponent than the clock.

What is Reversi?

Reversi is a two-player abstract strategy game played on an 8x8 board with double-sided discs, one colour per player. On your turn you place a disc so it traps a straight line of your opponent's discs between two of yours, flipping them all to your colour. When the board fills up, whoever has more discs wins.
