What are the game modes?
- Daily Challenge: five cards, the same for everyone. It resets at midnight UK time, and each guess is locked in before the price is revealed.
- Classic: ten cards. The closer your guess, the more you score.
- Price Range: pick the price band. A guess one band out still scores.
- Rank It: order four cards from most to least valuable.
- Higher or Lower: is the next card worth more or less? One wrong call ends the run.
- Pick the Chase: three cards. Tap the most valuable one.
- Don’t Go Over: get close to the price without going over. You have three lives, and a bullseye wins one back.
- Redemption: practice on the cards you misjudged. They come back after two days, then seven.
- Auction: in rooms only. Everyone bids blind on the same eight cards with £1,000. Win a card and you make its price minus your bid.
- Fantasy Portfolio: buy five of the week’s sixteen cards with £2,500 of pretend money, Monday to Thursday, and score their price move up to Sunday.
Every mode has a ? button that explains its rules.
Four packs go live every Monday: a Pokémon, an era, a special and a graded pack. Your first run of each is that week’s challenge, the same cards for everyone. The Screener lets you filter by era, Pokémon, set or price, then deal a game of any mode from what’s left.
How do I play with friends?
Sign in, then start a room from the Friends tab and share its code or link. Up to 12 players get the same cards and play whenever they’re ready, with a live leaderboard. Rooms close after 48 hours. Anyone who’s finished can start the next round.
You can also share a Classic, Price Range or Rank It result as a challenge link. Your friend plays the same cards and sees your score after each of their answers.
Why did a card score 0?
In the Daily, weekly pack challenges, rooms and challenge links, leaving the app mid-card scores that card 0, so nobody can look the price up. In Don’t Go Over it costs a life.
What’s free, and what does CardIQ Pro add?
The Daily and Classic are free as often as you like. Every other mode has one free run a day, and every pack’s weekly challenge is free. Rooms and challenge links you’re invited to are always free.
CardIQ Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds unlimited runs of every mode, the Screener, pack replays, the graded PSA 10 and ACE 10 packs, and hosting rooms.
How do I restore CardIQ Pro?
Go to Profile → CardIQ Pro → Restore purchases, signed in to the App Store with the Apple Account you bought it with. For a refund, use Apple’s refund page: Apple handles all payments.
How is my guess scored?
Every card is worth up to 1,000 points. The closer your guess is to the market price, the more you score. A guess within 20% still earns most of the points, and a bullseye within 2% earns nearly all of them.
Where do the prices come from?
Prices are UK market values from PokePulse, refreshed daily. Each reveal also shows US and Cardmarket prices where available. Once enough history has built up, it also shows which way the price has moved.
What is Market IQ?
A rating out of 1,000 that measures how accurately you price cards. It measures skill, not how much you play. It tracks your recent Classic and Daily guesses, so it rises and falls as you improve. Packs, the Screener, rooms and challenges earn XP but don’t change it.
What’s the Binder?
Every card you guess within 2% of its price goes in your Binder, one pocket per card. Signed-in players can see each other’s binders from their player pages.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Profile → Delete account. This permanently removes your account and everything synced to it. Progress stored on your device stays until you reset it or delete the app.
