A season is a block of competitions we run together — Season One has Spargle™, the Dessert Challenge and the Pulse Points leaderboard, and it wraps on October 6, 2026. One Season Pass unlocks every competition inside that season — not one event, all of them. Add a competition mid-season and your pass covers that too.
Every competition in Season One. Ends October 6, 2026.
Every standard season we run for the next 12 months — including standard seasons that don't exist yet.
Every competition we're running, grouped by the season it belongs to — with a clear mark on the ones your account can enter right now.
Now through October 6, 2026

Season Engagement Leaderboard
10 points per question, 20 per Pulse Update, 30 per Spargle post. Most engaged member wins $250.
Your $4.99/month membership already includes every standard season, at no extra charge. Nothing changes on your billing and you'll never be charged for a pass. Just note the pass is a perk of an active membership — if you cancel, the free all-season access goes with it.
No. Asking questions, reading the Pulse, the Oracle itinerary, market reports and browsing every competition feed is free. A pass is only needed to enter and compete.
A season is a time-boxed block that holds several competitions at once. Season One runs through October 6, 2026 and includes Spargle™, the Dessert Challenge and the Pulse Points leaderboard. One pass covers all of them.
The $1.99 Season Pass is a one-time payment that unlocks every competition inside the current season only. The $9.99 All-Season Pass is a single yearly payment that unlocks every standard season we run for the next 12 months, including standard seasons that haven't been announced yet. It does not include special or premium seasons — sponsor-backed, charity or prize-pool events we designate as special editions — which are sold separately.
A standard season is one of our regular, time-boxed community seasons (Spargle™, the Dessert Challenge, Pulse Points and similar). Anything we label a special or premium season — sponsor-backed or extra-prize events — sits outside the All-Season Pass and requires its own entry. We'll always label a season as special before it opens.
The $1.99 Season Pass never auto-renews — it's one payment for one season. The $9.99 All-Season Pass covers 12 months of standard seasons from purchase and does not silently rebill; we'll prompt you when it's up.
You get everything left in that season — every competition still open, plus any competition we add before the season closes. Prices don't drop as the season goes on, so earlier is better.
No. An active monthly membership includes every standard season automatically at no extra charge, and you'll never see a checkout prompt. Special or premium seasons are sold separately. If you cancel your membership, that all-season access ends with it and you'd buy a pass like anyone else.
Each season awards prizes to the top contributors — Pulse Points are tallied and winners are announced at the end of the scoring window. Prize details for the current season are posted on the Pulse Compete page.
A pass is tied to one account, since points and entries are scored per person. Everyone competing needs their own pass.
No. Payments are processed by Stripe and card details never touch our servers.
Monthly memberships follow our standard refund policy.
