Hypecall turns the "investing at 20 likes" comments you see on viral videos into an actual game. You spot a video before it blows up, "call it," and get scored on how right you were, no real money involved.

Yes, every new account gets 3 free starter cards immediately, so there's something to try in Duels, the Auction House, and your Showcase before your first real pick even matures.

Yes, the Hypecall extension adds a "Hypecall it" button directly on YouTube video pages, next to Like/Share. Click it and it reads the video's title, current like count, and channel info straight off the page, then calls it for you, no copy-pasting the link into the site. You still need to be logged into your Hypecall account (the extension has its own quick login), and the usual rules still apply: one call per video, ever, and it spends a Pick like normal. Grab it from the "Add to Chrome" button on the Home page.

Only in the Premium shop: Picks, credits, and Premium itself can be purchased there with a real card via Stripe. None of your in-game currency has any real-world cash value or can be cashed back out.

Find a real video (paste a YouTube/Shorts link, or use the browser extension), hit "Call it" while it still has a low like count. A 24-hour timer starts, and when it ends, your reward locks in based on how much the video grew. You can only call each video once, ever, so timing matters.

Yes, "Cash out early" on the On the Clock page settles your pick immediately using the current numbers, giving up any further growth. There's a real tradeoff though: cashing out very early gives you only a small slice of what the pick would've paid at full maturity, so it's worth waiting unless you need the card right now. See "How scoring works" for the exact math.

Picks are what you spend to call a video. You have up to 20 at a time (40 if you're Premium), and they refill on their own: 1 every 15 minutes.

Picks refill on their own, 1 every 15 minutes, up to 20 (40 if you're Premium). You can also burn cards for Picks on the Combine & Salvage tab, or buy a Pick Pack in the Premium shop.

Two multipliers decide your reward before any boost: an early-bird bonus (the fewer likes a video had when you called it, the bigger the bonus) and a creator-size factor (the smaller/less-known the channel, the bigger the factor). Both lock in the moment you call: call an unknown creator's video at 20 likes and you get the biggest possible multiplier; call a huge channel's video and the multiplier shrinks a lot, even if the raw growth is bigger. The exact tiers are on the "How scoring works" page.

Growth × early-bird bonus × creator-size factor × how long you held it × any boost, scaled and capped. The full step-by-step breakdown is on the "How scoring works" page, it's worth a read since a few of the factors (especially cashing out early) matter more than people expect.

Every settled call mints you a card: title, rarity, a Score, and a serial number. Cards can be applied as a boost to a future pick, used in Duels, burned for Picks or Combined into something stronger on the Combine & Salvage tab, listed in the Auction House, or shown off in your Profile Showcase.

Score reflects how big a catch that call was (based on growth, timing, and creator size), then gets a final multiplier from the card's rarity. It's the number used for Duels and for ranking your collection's power.

Every settled call rolls one of 4 rarities: Silver (59% chance), Gold (35%), Diamond (5%), or Perfect (1%). Rarer tiers also multiply the card's final Score higher. On top of rarity, there's an independent 1% chance for any card to come out Holo (a shiny visual variant), regardless of rarity.

A card whose current stats came from Combine rather than a straight pull, Combine always bumps a card's rarity up one tier and boosts its power, so a crafted card is one you leveled up yourself.

Settle 10 calls from the same creator and you automatically earn a bonus Channel Card for that channel, on top of your normal cards, fully repeatable. Check Card Inventory → Channel Card Tracker to see your progress toward the next one for every creator you've called. Channel Cards play as ordinary hand cards in Duels, same as Pick cards.

Quicksell pays on a card's Score, scaled by rarity (Silver x1, Gold x1.5, Diamond x2.5, Perfect x4) and x1.5 again if it's Foil, so a high-Score card is worth a lot more than a low one. Every rarity also has a minimum, so a card with no Score is still worth its rarity: Silver 75, Gold 240, Diamond 800, Perfect 3,200 credits. Boost cards carry no Score at all, so they run on their own steeper ladder: Silver 80, Gold 400, Diamond 2,000, Perfect 7,000. Foil multiplies any of those by 1.5. Credit cards are the exception, they always redeem at the face value printed on them. Packs are meant to be a credit sink: on average a pack's cards quicksell for well under what the pack cost, with a real chance of a card worth several times it.

Apply a Boost card to a Hypecall before you call it, boosting your reward, Score, or XP (you choose which one) by that Boost card's rarity: Silver +10%, Gold +25%, Diamond +60%, Perfect +100%. Only Boost cards can do this — regular Pick, Channel, Credit and Starter cards have no charges. Every Boost card carries 3 charges no matter its rarity, so rarity decides how hard a boost hits, not how many you get. Those 3 charges are shared with Duels, so spending one in a duel leaves fewer for your Hypecalls, and vice versa. Out of charges? Recharge it for credits on the Combine & Salvage tab.

Use Boost Recharge on the Combine & Salvage tab: pick the spent Boost card and pay credits to fill it back to 3 charges. Nothing else is consumed. It costs 300 credits for a Silver Boost, 600 for Gold, 1,200 for Diamond and 2,000 for Perfect.

Pick one card to keep and burn exactly 3 other cards (same card type, rarity, and creator as the one you're keeping) to make it stronger. Combining always bumps the kept card's rarity up one tier (Silver→Gold→Gold→Diamond→Perfect) and raises its power, plus a small independent chance to turn it Holo if it isn't already. Costs 1,000 credits + 5 Picks for Pick and Channel cards; Boost and Credit combines cost 3 Picks and no credits. Perfect cards can't be combined further, they're already the top tier. The 3 burned cards are gone from your inventory for good, and burning frees that video up to be Hypecalled again by you.

Think of your kept card like a cup that can hold up to 2,500 power, tops, no card can ever go past that rim no matter what. The gap between your card's current power and that 2,500 line is the empty space it has left to fill.

Burning cards pours their combined power in like juice, and that juice fills up part of the empty space. The catch: the fuller the cup already is, the harder it gets to top off. Early pours fill it fast; once it's getting full, you need way more juice just to add a little more.

Example: you keep a 1,000-power card (1,500 power of empty space under the cap). Burn 3 cards worth 600 power total, that fills in 600 power's worth of space, landing you at 1,600 power. Now imagine your card was already at 2,000 power (only 500 power of empty space left) and you burned that exact same 600-power worth of cards again, this time you'd only gain about 200 power, landing at 2,200. Same "juice," way less effect, because there was way less empty space to fill. That's why combining a weaker card is a lot more effective than trying to push an already-strong card closer to the max.

Also on the Combine & Salvage tab: burn a card outright for an instant Picks payout based on its rarity, Silver = 1 Pick, Gold = 3 Picks, Diamond = 5 Picks, Perfect = 10 Picks. The daily limit counts cards rather than Picks, so burning a Perfect is the most value a single burn can give you. Like Combine, burned cards leave your inventory for good and burning frees that video up to be called again. You can queue up to 6 at a time, and burn up to 10 a day (20 if you're Premium).

A card battle: build a Hand of 5 cards (any mix of Pick and Channel cards, as long as they have a Score) plus one optional Boost card, then fight over 4 rounds (plus a sudden-death 5th round if it's tied 2-2). Each round, the attacker and defender reveal a card and higher power wins the round (the defender wins ties), either side can spend a boost mid-round to swing it.

Battle CPU is instant, pick a difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard, or Impossible, each with bigger rewards and a tougher AI) and fight right away. Challenge a Player posts an open or targeted challenge for a real opponent to accept, it's async so your opponent has up to 24 hours to respond once it's their turn, and you can optionally attach a wager (credits, Picks, and/or specific cards) that the winner takes double of.

Two independent options you can turn on for a more even fight, either alone or both together: Score Cap limits every card in both hands to a power budget (e.g. nothing over 500), and Rarity Gate restricts hands to one rarity only (Silver/Gold/Diamond/Perfect). Turning both on at once (say, a 500 cap with Silver only) is fully supported.

Yes. On the Your hand step, build the hand you want and hit ☆ Save hand to store it under a name. You get 8 slots, saved to your account (so they're there on the app and on any browser), and each one remembers the boost card too. Tap a saved hand to load it back. If a card in it has since been sold, burned, listed or is illegal under the rules you've picked for this duel, it loads everything that's still legal and tells you what it dropped. Saving under a name you've already used overwrites that slot.

Same rarity-based percentages as pick boosts (Silver +10%, Gold +25%, Diamond +60%, Perfect +100%), but here it's a straight power boost applied to that one card's reveal for the round, it doesn't touch your reward or Score outside the battle. It still spends one of that card's 3 total boost uses, shared with the pick-boost system.

5 objectives assigned to you each day from a rotating pool, reset at midnight UTC. Each one pays its own reward when completed, and completing all 5 in one day earns an extra bonus (75 credits + a free Gold Pack) on top. You can reroll a mission you don't like up to 3 times before it locks in.

10 bigger objectives assigned on the 1st of each month (midnight UTC), from a separate pool with month-scale targets and rewards. No rerolls and no complete-all bonus here, they're meant to be a longer-term side goal alongside Daily Missions.

One-time milestones across categories like Picks, Collecting, Dueling, and more, each with its own points and reward. Unlike Missions, Achievement rewards don't get handed to you automatically, once you've completed one, a Claim button appears on it (and a red counter shows on the Achievements tab whenever you have unclaimed rewards waiting). There's also a Claim All button to sweep up everything you've earned at once.

A real marketplace: list your cards for timed auction (with an optional instant Buy Now price), bid credits on other users' listings, search and filter by rarity/Score/serial number. You can cancel your own listing anytime before it sells. Selling takes a 10% fee out of the final sale price (5% if you're Premium), the rest goes straight to your balance.

Every settled pick awards XP based on that pick's final power, the better the catch, the more XP you get (there's always a small guaranteed minimum, even on a weak pick). XP fills a bar toward your next level, and each level takes a bit more XP than the last, up to a maximum of Level 100.

Right now leveling up is a visible sign of how much you've played and how well you've called, shown on your profile and in the sidebar. A soft green pulse flashes across the screen whenever you level up. More rewards tied to levels may be added later.

No, XP is completely separate. It doesn't change your reward payout or your card's Score, it only tracks long-term progress toward your next level.
