The FlagForge leaderboard shows how all players stack up against each other. Every time a challenge is solved, scores update and rankings shift. You can check the leaderboard at any time to see where you stand and how close you are to the players above you.Documentation Index

How scoring works
Your total score reflects two types of transactions:- Hint unlocks subtract points immediately. Each time you reveal a hint, its point cost is deducted from your total score at that moment.
- Solving a challenge adds the full base point value. Submitting the correct flag awards you the challenge’s full base points, regardless of how many hints you revealed.
Your score never decreases due to incorrect flag submissions. Only hint reveals reduce your score.
The leaderboard page
Navigate to the Leaderboard page to see the rankings. The leaderboard displays the top 50 players sorted by total score, from highest to lowest. Each row shows:| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Rank | Your current position among all players |
| Name | The player’s display name |
| Score | Total points accumulated across all solved challenges |
| Challenges solved | Number of challenges completed |
Your profile score vs the leaderboard
Your total score appears in two places: your Profile page and the Leaderboard page. Both values come from the same source and stay in sync. The leaderboard shows your rank among all registered players, while your profile gives you a personal summary of your solved challenges and badges.What affects your rank
Your rank is determined entirely by your total score. The higher your score, the higher your rank. Two things directly influence your score:- Solving challenges — each correct flag submission adds points to your total.
- Revealing hints — each hint deducts points from your total before you solve the challenge.
Climbing the leaderboard
The most reliable path up the leaderboard is to solve more challenges and minimize hint usage:Solve unsolved challenges
Every challenge you haven’t solved yet is an opportunity to add points. Browse the Problems page and pick challenges in categories where you feel confident.
Tackle higher-value challenges
Challenges with more points move your score faster. Once you’ve cleared the easier challenges, focus on the ones worth more points.
