Official rules

The Founders Room games

Last updated October 7, 2026

1. The games

• Clear the Bar is the game of the week. It has the main leaderboard and the badges next to your name.
• PR Lift, Reaction Rack, Dead Stop and Max Out are mini games. They're for bragging rights only and won't count toward any prize.
• The game of the week can change. If it does, we'll say so in the room.

2. Max Out and points

• Max Out runs on free points. You start with 100, and everyone gets 100 more each day at midnight Eastern time, on top of whatever they kept.
• Points have no value. They can't be bought, sold, traded, transferred, or exchanged for money, merch, discounts, early access, or anything else.
• Lose all your points and you're out until the next day's 100.
• Max Out is a game of chance, so it will never have a prize. The top of the points board gets bragging rights only.

3. Who can play

• Members of The Founders Room, plus anyone a member brought in with their invite.
• One account per person. Playing on someone else's account, or making extra accounts, isn't allowed.
• Playing is free. Nothing is for sale inside the games, and buying something from VOWN never helps your score.

4. How scores work

• Your best score on each game is saved and shown on that game's leaderboard.
• Leaderboards show your Ring name (like "I · First Ring 07"), never your email.
• Every score is checked against how long the run lasted. A score that doesn't add up isn't saved.
• Ties go to whoever set the score first.

5. Play fair

• No bots, scripts, auto-clickers, modified game files, or anything else that plays for you or changes how the game works.
• VOWN can remove any score that looks faked, and can remove a player from the leaderboards or the room for cheating.
• VOWN can reset leaderboards, fix bugs that affect scores, or change or retire a game at any time.

6. If a prize is added later

If we ever offer a prize for a skill game, like free merch for the top Clear the Bar scores, we'll announce it in the room and update this page before it starts. The update will spell out:

1. What the prize is and how many winners there are.
2. The exact start and end dates and times that count.
3. How winners are picked. It will be based on skill, meaning the top verified scores during that window. It won't be random.
4. Who's eligible. Prizes will only be open to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States who are 18 or older.
5. That no purchase is necessary, and how and when winners are contacted.
6. Who is running it and how to reach them.

Scores set before a prize is announced only count if the announcement says so.

7. Questions

Ask in the room chat and we'll answer there.

These games are run by VOWN for fun and are not sponsored, endorsed, or run by any other company. VOWN may update these rules. The date at the top always shows the latest version.
