How it works
A free community prediction game. No money, no odds — just spoons.
01100 Spoons a week
Every Monday you get 100 fresh Spoons. Spread them however you like — all 100 behind one call, or a little across several. You can move them around all week, as long as your total stays at 100.
02Backers vs Spoons
Backers is how many people believe a prediction. Spoons is how strongly they believe it, added up. A call with 500 backers and 30,000 Spoons outranks one with 1,000 backers and 20,000. Spoons are what rank the board.
03Make your own call
Add any company you think is next and say why. Others can put Spoons behind your call — but you can't back your own. Being the author of a call that lands earns you a bonus.
04Spoon Score
When an acquisition is confirmed, everyone who had Spoons on it scores. Big belief pays off more than it used to: points rise faster than the Spoons you commit, so 80 behind one call beats 20 behind four. Committing early adds a bonus too, and Spoons on calls that don't land cost you.
05Top believer bonus
Every prediction has a leaderboard of believers. If the call lands, the person who put the most Spoons behind it over time takes a big bonus, with smaller bonuses for second and third. Backing the same call week after week adds a staying-power bonus, so coming back each Monday to top up pays.
06The Spoon Oracle
At the end of each competition period, the highest Spoon Score is crowned the Spoon Oracle and takes the prize: 100 hand-bent spoons, shipped free anywhere in the world — every country, no postage, no customs excuses. Previous weeks' allocations are kept forever, so your track record follows you.
07Debate karma
Arguments on company pages can still be upvoted. Karma unlocks flair tiers: Teaspoon, Ladle, Soup Ladle, and the fabled Golden Spoon.
