What happens to XP I already banked if I then get one wrong?

It stays. Banking is final — that is the entire point of the choice. Only the pot you were still carrying burns.

How many ladders can I play a day?

One, plus one bonus game. Duels give you further runs, but the daily ladder itself is once.

Are the questions about the future?

No — the Ladder only asks about markets that have already settled, so there is a right answer the moment you swipe.

The Ladder

Double or bank. One miss burns the pot.

The Ladder is a nerve game wearing a quiz's clothes. Every correct answer doubles the XP pot — 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 — and at every rung you get the same choice: take what you have, or push. One wrong swipe burns whatever you did not bank. It takes about a minute, and most of that minute goes on deciding whether to be greedy.

How it works

Swipe yes or no on a question about a market that already settled.
Correct, and the pot doubles. Now choose: bank it, or climb.
Wrong, and the unbanked pot burns. There is a new ladder tomorrow.

The rules that matter

The XP pot doubles on every correct step, from 1 up to 32.
Each step adds +3 weekly points; banking adds another +10.
Your daily streak multiplies banked XP by up to ×1.5.
