Question 1

What is HoHoGuess?

Accepted Answer

HoHoGuess is a Hong Kong-based skill game where you predict the outcomes of real events using virtual Peanuts. There is no real money, no gambling — just your knowledge and instincts.

Question 2

Can I play without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You automatically receive 2,000 Peanuts instantly and start guessing right away. Sign up later to keep your balance and earn an additional 5,000 Peanuts registration bonus.

Question 3

How do I sign up?

Accepted Answer

Tap "Sign Up" and register with your email or Google account. Any Peanuts earned as a guest will be merged automatically into your new account.

Question 4

What are the rules for Welcome and Registration Bonuses?

Accepted Answer

To ensure a fair environment, all bonuses are subject to our anti-abuse policy:

(1) Welcome Bonus (2,000 Peanuts) is limited to one claim per device/fingerprint per year.

(2) Registration Bonus (5,000 Peanuts) is granted once per user upon completing onboarding.

If our system detects that your device has already claimed a bonus for a different account within the past year, the bonus balance will be set to 0 Peanuts to prevent farming and multiple account abuse.

Question 5

What are Peanuts (🥜)?

Accepted Answer

Peanuts are the free virtual currency used for guessing. You earn them through daily login streaks, missions, referrals, and winning guesses. Peanuts cannot be purchased with real money.

Question 6

What are Popcorn (🍿)?

Accepted Answer

Popcorn is the premium currency purchased with HKD in the Shop. It can only be spent on cosmetics and convenience items — it cannot be converted into Peanuts or used for trading.

Question 7

I played as a guest — how do I keep my Peanuts?

Accepted Answer

Sign up or log in within 30 days. Your guest Peanuts merge automatically when you create an account. If you clear your browser data before signing up, those Peanuts are permanently lost.

Question 8

What is an event?

Accepted Answer

An event is a real-world question with defined outcomes, such as "Will X happen?". You buy tickets on the outcome you believe will occur and receive a payout if you are correct.

Question 9

What types of events are there?

Accepted Answer

There are three types: Binary (Yes/No, one outcome wins), Multi-Outcome Single-Winner (multiple candidates, exactly one wins), and Multi-Outcome Multi-Winner (multiple independent Yes/No outcomes, any number can resolve correctly).

Question 10

How do values work?

Accepted Answer

Ticket values run from 1 to 99 Peanuts and represent the community's estimated probability. A value of 65 means the community believes there is a 65% chance that outcome wins.

Question 11

When does an event close?

Accepted Answer

Each event has a set cut-off time. Once closed, no new guesses can be placed. Any pending queued guesses are automatically cancelled and your Locked Peanuts are refunded.

Question 12

How is an event resolved?

Accepted Answer

Once the real-world outcome is confirmed, an admin resolves the event. Winning shares pay 100 Peanuts each; losing shares pay 0 Peanuts. A 5% platform fee is deducted from net profit only (PRO users enjoy 0% fees).

Question 13

How do I place a guess?

Accepted Answer

Open an event, select an outcome, choose YES or NO, enter your Peanut amount, and confirm. Your guess appears immediately in My Picks.

Question 14

What is a Quick Guess?

Accepted Answer

A Quick Guess is an instant match filled immediately at the best available value. You enter the number of Peanuts to spend and the system buys as many tickets as possible at current values.

Question 15

What is a Target Guess?

Accepted Answer

A Target Guess is a queued guess that waits until the community reaches your chosen value. You set the number of tickets and the exact value you want. The guess stays open until matched or cancelled.

Question 16

What is One-Click Play?

Accepted Answer

One-Click Play is a PRO-exclusive feature that skips the confirmation step for Quick Guesses. When enabled in Settings, you can place guesses instantly with a single tap. Use with caution!

Question 17

What is a ticket worth?

Accepted Answer

A winning ticket pays out exactly 100 Peanuts. A losing ticket pays 0 Peanuts. Your winnings are (100 − value paid) × tickets, minus the platform fee on net winnings (5% for standard users, 0% for PRO).

Question 18

How are fees calculated?

Accepted Answer

The platform charges a 5% fee on net winnings for standard users. PRO subscribers enjoy a 0% fee benefit. Costs and losses are never charged. Example: buy 10 tickets at 65 Peanuts (cost 650), resolves correctly (payout 1,000) → winnings 350 → standard fee 17 Peanuts (PRO fee 0) → you receive 983 Peanuts (PRO receive 1,000).

Question 19

What are Locked Peanuts?

Accepted Answer

Locked Peanuts are reserved for your pending Target Guess (queued) guesses. They are returned instantly if you cancel the guess or the event closes.

Question 20

How do I cancel a guess?

Accepted Answer

Open the event page, go to the "My Guesses" tab, and tap Cancel next to any pending guess. Your Locked Peanuts are refunded immediately.

Question 21

What is HoHoGuess PRO?

Question 25

How do I earn Peanuts without guessing?

Accepted Answer

Log in daily to build your streak (1,000–2,500 base Peanuts per day), complete daily missions, invite friends via referrals (5,000 Peanuts when your friend first plays), and compete for leaderboard prizes.

Question 26

How do missions work?

Accepted Answer

Daily and Weekly missions reward you with extra Peanuts for completing specific tasks, like placing a guess or reaching a winnings milestone. Check the Missions tab to see active goals and claim your rewards.

Question 27

What are Prediction Points and Tiers?

Accepted Answer

Prediction Points (PP) equal your all-time net guessing winnings. They determine your tier on a 50-tier scale from N15 "Rock Bottom" to P25 "The Prophet". Higher tiers unlock cosmetic frames and bragging rights. PP can go negative.

Question 28

What is a Daily Streak?

Accepted Answer

Log in every day to grow your streak and earn increasing Peanut bonuses. Day 7 doubles the base reward; Day 30 gives 2.5× the base plus a badge. Missing a day resets your streak to Day 1 unless a Streak Shield is active.

Question 29

What is a Streak Shield?

Accepted Answer

A Streak Shield is a charge that auto-activates when you miss a login day, preserving your streak counter. One charge is consumed per missed day. Shields can be purchased in the Shop or earned through referral milestones.

Question 30

What is a Tier Guard?

Accepted Answer

A Tier Guard is a charge that protects your tier when a trade goes against you. At settlement, if you would lose PP and drop a tier, the Tier Guard absorbs the PP loss (your Peanut loss still applies). One charge is consumed per event.

Question 31

What is the VIP Cashback Pass?

Accepted Answer

The VIP Cashback Pass refunds 5% of your net Peanuts losses on events that resolve during the 7-day pass period (up to a 10,000 Peanut limit). It’s an essential tool for high-volume traders.

Question 32

What are Prestige Frames?

Accepted Answer

Prestige Frames are permanent, high-rarity cosmetic rewards. Some can be purchased in the Shop with Popcorn, while others like the 'Celestial Frame' are unlocked by reaching the top tier (P25).

Question 33

How does the monthly leaderboard work?

Accepted Answer

The leaderboard ranks players by Peanuts winnings earned in the current calendar month. A 300,000 Peanut prize pool is distributed to the top 10 players, with 1st place receiving 96,000 Peanuts. Rankings reset on the 1st of each month.

Question 34

Can I convert Popcorn to Peanuts or cash out?

Accepted Answer

No. Peanuts and Popcorn are separate virtual currencies. Neither can be converted to real money or exchanged for one another. HoHoGuess is a skill game with no real-money gambling.
