Bids and top points
- 1 bid: up to 2,000 points
- 2 bids: up to 1,600 points
- 3 bids: up to 1,400 points
Why the curve matters
Because the score uses a power of 1.5, stopping at half the answer gives far less than half the points. That rewards brave bids. But one step over wipes the round, so the best players push hard on questions they are sure about and play safe on the rest.
Questions people ask about Overbid
What happens if I go over?
The round scores zero. One bid above the hidden number wipes it out.
Is Overbid like The Price Is Right?
In spirit. You want the closest bid without going over, but here you play alone against the number and can bank or raise.
How is a round scored?
Up to 2,000, 1,600 or 1,400 points based on how many bids you chose, times your bid divided by the answer, raised to the power 1.5.
Can I play with a friend?
Yes. Match mode lets you play the same questions through a challenge link.
Can I play old days?
Yes. Every past daily can still be played.
Ways to get better at Overbid
- The closer you stop to the answer, the more you get, so do not bank too early.
- One bid is worth the most, but leaves no room for error.
- Use extra bids on topics you know least, to buy hints.
- Leave a small margin. Stopping 5% under costs a few points, while 1% over costs the whole round.
