Prize rules – IQ Blocks monthly competition

Draft — to be reviewed before launch. · Version 2026-10-14

These prize rules are part of the IQ Lab Terms and Conditions. You accept them by ticking the box when you enter a Classic score into the monthly competition.

1. Prizes

  • Each calendar month (Oslo time) one cash prize is awarded: the winner (1st place) gets 25 US dollars, or the equivalent in euros at today's rate. One winner only, 18+.

2. Taking part

  • No purchase necessary. Playing IQ Blocks, entering the monthly competition and winning are free.
  • To enter you must be at least 18 years old and tick the box to accept these prize rules when you submit a score.
  • Only Classic mode counts. Daily challenge and the 2-minute mode don’t count.

3. How winners are determined

  • The competition is decided by skill only: ranking is based solely on the in-game score. Each nickname’s best valid score in the month counts.
  • Purchases never affect ranking, scores or the chance of reaching the podium.
  • The board locks on the 1st of the next month at 00:00 Oslo time (Europe/Oslo). In case of a tie, the player who reached the score first wins.
  • One prize per person per month. If the same person has several nicknames on the podium, only their best place counts and the next players move up.

4. Age verification before payout

  • The only condition for receiving a cash prize is that the winner is 18 or older and confirms their age with an ID check (valid identity document) before payout.
  • ID data is used only for the age check and is deleted after payout.
  • So we can contact the winner and complete the age check, the winner must confirm an email address.
  • If the age check isn’t completed within 14 days of the winner being notified, or shows the winner is under 18, the prize passes to the next eligible player on the board.

5. Payout

  • Winners are announced by nickname. A winner claims the prize by giving their email address and PayPal address (or asking for a gift card) in a claim form after the month ends.
  • Prizes are paid by PayPal or as a gift card within 30 days of the age check in section 4 being completed. Winners are responsible for any taxes.

6. Fair play

  • Scores are checked. IQ Lab may disqualify scores that appear to be cheated, manipulated or produced with automated tools, and nicknames that break these rules.
  • Test and preview entries are not part of the competition.

7. Where the competition applies

  • Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

8. Privacy

  • Email and PayPal addresses are used only to contact the winner and pay the prize, and are deleted no later than 90 days after the month ends. ID data is deleted after payout.
