Competition integrity

Your skill should
decide the result.

A leaderboard only matters when legitimate players can trust what it represents. Score validation and anti-cheat analysis help protect that trust.

Outcome explained // Detection details protected

01

Clear rules

Eligible games, scoring, timing and enforcement need to be visible before an official competition begins.

02

Trusted results

Server-side handling and validation separate accepted results from claims made only by a browser.

03

Active analysis

Gameplay and scoring signals can be evaluated for patterns that require review.

04

Proportionate action

A result may be held, reviewed or invalidated under the rules that apply to its competition.

Anti-cheat, without the playbook

We explain what
protection is for.

Can You Beat 'Em does not publish detection thresholds, risk signals, review heuristics or internal algorithms. Revealing those details would weaken the systems they are meant to protect.

Players should know the outcome: suspicious results can be analyzed, official results need validation and enforcement follows the applicable competition rules.

What we can say

  • Official results require trusted processing.
  • Suspicious gameplay can be reviewed.
  • Public standings must protect player privacy.
  • Enforcement follows published rules.

What stays protected

  • Detection thresholds and internal signals.
  • Risk scores and review heuristics.
  • Implementation details that could enable evasion.
  • Private account or identity data.
Current product status

Training is not official competition.

The Memory Palace training board contains practice personal bests inside the player app. Server-authoritative competitive run validation still has to be completed before official competitions enter scope.

Fair Play FAQ

Trust needs
clear answers.

How are scores verified?

Can You Beat 'Em uses server-side result handling and integrity checks for published results. Official competition modes require server-authoritative validation; sensitive detection signals and thresholds are not disclosed.

How does anti-cheat work?

Integrity systems analyze gameplay and scoring signals to identify results that need review. The goal is to protect legitimate players without publishing a playbook for manipulation.

What happens if manipulation is detected?

A result may be reviewed or invalidated under the rules that apply to its competition. Enforcement details belong to the relevant published rules.

What happens when players have the same score?

Tie handling is competition-specific. The applicable rules will state the tiebreak before an official competition opens; this site does not assume a universal rule.
