Highlights
- This set spans wildly different categories: music formats, tools, first names, celebrity follows, snacks, holidays, and South American wildlife.
- The music-release prompt is tightest, so rare picks demand esoteric physical formats and specialised release terminology.
- The South American animal prompt has the most room: any native species counts, from obvious fauna to obscure invertebrates.
Prompts and answers
Prompt 1
Name someone with over 10 million Instagram followers
Hint: 1,542 accepted answers. The gem starts with “B” and is 2 words.
Most players say MrBeast, PewDiePie and Cristiano Ronaldo, because ultra-famous internet and sports stars dominate social media feeds. The prompt only sets a follower threshold, so it also accepts regional actors, musicians, athletes and creators from every country; searching beyond global superstars opens up rare picks.

Betül Tunç is a Turkish social media personality whose cooking-related posts have earned her an Instagram following far beyond 10 million. Players chasing global celebrities overlook her because she is a domestic Turkish-language star rather than a familiar Western name.
- 1
- Betül Tunç
- 1,025
- Ali Haydar Kalender, Anne Curtis, Yogi Adityanath
- 433
- Lizzo, Jennifer Garner, Germán Garmendia
- 75
- Barack Obama (2.1% of players), PewDiePie (2.0%), Donald Trump (1.7%)
- 8
- MrBeast (3.8% of players), Cristiano Ronaldo (2.9%), Lionel Messi (2.2%)
- Bizarrap · The Argentine producer behind the BZRP Music Sessions has built a massive global audience, translating into an Instagram count far beyond 10 million.
- Hande Erçel · One of Turkey's most-followed actresses, her domestic stardom alone pushes her account well past 10 million, even without Western name recognition.
MrBeast was the most popular answer, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi close behind. Few answers cracked even one in twenty, so this prompt was diffuse. A surprising deep cut, Vozinha, still made the top ten, showing how scattered the responses were.
Prompt 2
Name a holiday from anywhere in the world that is celebrated in October, November or December
Hint: 3,396 accepted answers. The gem starts with “N” and is 4 words.
Most players say Diwali, Hanukkah and Day of the Dead, the major late-year celebrations with broad recognition. Because the prompt allows any holiday celebrated in those months worldwide, it includes obscure feast days, national commemorations, and international observances; browsing specific country calendars is where rare answers hide.
3,396 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
Night of the Radishes is an annual Oaxaca festival on December 23 where locals carve giant radishes into elaborate scenes. It qualifies as a December holiday, but its single-city scale keeps it off most international holiday calendars.
- 1
- Night of the Radishes
- 3,280
- St. Thomas of Villanova's Day, Syrian Liberation Day, St. Louis Bertrand's Day
- 100
- Ōmisoka, All Souls' Day, Mean Girls Day
- 9
- Diwali (8.9% of players), Day of the Dead (7.6%), Kwanzaa (6.3%)
- 6
- Hanukkah (7.7% of players), Halloween (3.9%), Thanksgiving (3.3%)
- Punkie Night · In Somerset, England, children parade carved mangel-wurzel lanterns on the last Thursday of October, a local cousin of Halloween.
- Double Ten Day · Taiwan's National Day on October 10 commemorates the 1911 Wuchang Uprising that ended two millennia of imperial rule.
Diwali, Hanukkah, and Day of the Dead clustered near the top, each around one in ten or so. Halloween, despite being a default thought, was only mid-pack. All Saints' Day, a Rare-tier answer, still showed up surprisingly often, nearly one in twenty.
Prompt 3
Name a music release type or format (like an album or CD)
Hint: 307 accepted answers. The gem starts with “B” and is 2 words.
307 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
- 1
- Bone music
- 236
- Tribute album, Complete recording, Digifile
- 56
- Concept album, Visualizer, Demo
- 10
- Cassette (14.8% of players), EP (10.7%), Mixtape (3.1%)
- 4
- Vinyl (13.0% of players), Single (4.5%), CD (3.2%)
Cassette led with roughly one in seven, edging out vinyl and digital download. The inclusion of floppy disk and VHS among top answers shows players reaching for outdated formats. CD, an obvious choice, was relatively low.
Prompt 4
Name an animal that is native to South America
Hint: 19,412 accepted answers. The gem starts with “O” and is 1 word.
Most players say capybara, toucan and anaconda, the charismatic Amazon species shown constantly in nature media. The phrase 'native to South America' covers every habitat and animal group, so searching beyond iconic mammals and birds into insects, fish, frogs and obscure forest dwellers opens up deep cuts.
19,412 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
Olinguito is a small raccoon-family mammal from the cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador, described by science only in 2013. It is native to South America, but its recent discovery keeps it unknown beyond mammalogy circles.
- 1
- Olinguito
- 19,086
- Treehopper, Chestnut-banded Wave, Common tent-making bat
- 281
- Deer, Shrimp, Elephant seal
- 38
- Capybara (8.4% of players), Anaconda (3.3%), Toucan (3.3%)
- 6
- Monkey (2.8% of players), Sloth (2.7%), Jaguar (2.6%)
- Pallas's long-tongued bat · This nectar-feeding bat ranges from Mexico into South America and uses an elongated tongue to pollinate night-blooming flowers.
- Piratic Flycatcher · This small tyrant flycatcher often commandeers the hanging nests of oropendolas and caciques rather than building its own.
Capybara dominated, capturing about one in twelve guesses and far outpacing the cluster of anaconda, toucan, and penguin. The presence of penguin surprised some but several species are native to South America. Most other animals sat at roughly one in thirty.
Prompt 5
Name a tool used for digging
Hint: 425 accepted answers. The gem starts with “G” and is 3 words.
Most players say excavator, hoe and shovel, the familiar construction and garden tools seen in everyday life. Since any implement that digs qualifies, rare answers come from specialised agriculture, mining machinery attachments and regional hand tools rather than standard hardware.
425 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
Golf hole cutters are cylindrical blades greenskeepers use to carve the cup on a putting green, standardized at 4.25 inches after an early Musselburgh model. Because it is a specialist golf-course tool, players rarely think of it alongside shovels and spades.
- 1
- Golf hole cutter
- 375
- Carruca, Badza, Border fork
- 40
- Trunk shovel, Edger, Tunnel boring machine
- 6
- Excavator (16.2% of players), Drill (8.3%), Trowel (6.8%)
- 3
- Hoe (11.5% of players), Shovel (10.7%), Pickaxe (6.4%)
- Mattock · Its dual head combines an adze-like blade with an axe or pick, letting trail builders break and move compacted soil with one tool.
- Continuous flight auger · Mounted on construction rigs, this auger bores deep pile holes while its continuous spiral flights carry excavated soil to the surface.
Excavator led with about one in six, a sign players went for heavy machinery over hand tools. Hoe and shovel followed closely, each around one in nine. Drill, trowel, spade, and pickaxe formed a tight middle pack, while backhoe and garden fork lagged.
Prompt 6
Name a chips or crisps brand
Hint: 2,695 accepted answers. The gem starts with “T” and is 3 words.
Most players say Lay's, Red Rock Deli and Smith's, the widely stocked brands from major snack markets. The prompt allows any chips or crisps brand worldwide, so small regional makers, private-label supermarket names, and international-only brands are the spaces to search for rare points.
2,695 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
The Whole Shabang is a heavily seasoned potato chip brand that first built its reputation through prison commissary sales before reaching public shelves. Its confinement-institution origin keeps it unfamiliar to snackers who never browse correctional catalogs.
- 1
- The Whole Shabang
- 2,604
- Won Won, Sub Chips, Oya
- 77
- Pirate's Booty, Clancy's, Hickory Sticks
- 9
- Miss Vickie's (4.1% of players), Walkers (2.3%), Fritos (2.0%)
- 4
- Lay's (6.3% of players), Pringles (2.2%), Doritos (1.2%)
- Taffel · A Finnish brand known for crispy potato chips, a common sight in Nordic supermarkets but little seen outside the region.
Lay's was the most common, but only around one in sixteen, reflecting a crowded field. Miss Vickie's came second, and regional favourites like Tayto, Utz, and Zapp's all surfaced among the top ten, showing players drew on local brands.
Prompt 7
Name one of the 1,000 most common first names in the world
Hint: 997 accepted answers. The gem starts with “K” and is 1 word.
Most players say John, James and Mohammed, because those names dominate Western and Arabic-speaking naming traditions and feel obvious. Since the list is global, common names from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, African and Eastern European languages all qualify; shifting away from English-language defaults uncovers rarer accepted picks.
997 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.
Krzysztof, the Polish form of Christopher, ranks among the world's 1,000 most common names through Poland's population and global diaspora. Players default to English or Spanish names, so this Slavic spelling is easily overlooked.
- 1
- Krzysztof
- 492
- Mamadou, Zhenhua, Nadezhda
- 374
- Judy, Martina, Jorge
- 120
- Mohammed (2.8% of players), Jack (1.7%), Muhammad (1.6%)
- 10
- John (4.2% of players), James (3.1%), David (1.3%)
- Mustapha · The Arabic name meaning 'chosen one' is common across North Africa and West Asia, with romanizations like Mustafa adding to its global frequency.
- Masako · Borne by Japan's Empress, this name remains common among Japanese women and reflects the country's large share of global names.
John was the top answer but only around one in twenty-five, showing how spread out guesses were. The single-letter name 'A' was a surprising deep cut in the top ten. Note that Mohammed, Muhammad, and Muhammed all appeared separately, so the name's combined popularity is higher.
