The Mole

Everyone in your party chooses exactly three players from the official cast. Picks can overlap, and they stay hidden until the lock.

Picks lock at the published release time of the first batch of episodes, checked against the server clock. They can't be changed afterwards, even if a pick is eliminated.

Points start with episode 1. Results are published once per batch, after the episodes are released.

Each elimination round a player survives is worth 3, including when they hold an exemption. Being eliminated costs 8. Two eliminations in one episode are scored separately.

An exemption is worth 5 and any other advantage, such as a Correction, is worth 3. If it was paid for with pot money, the player also loses 2.

Turning down a personal advantage so the money goes to the pot is worth 3, but only when the show presents the choice and shows who made it.

Reaching the final quiz is worth 12, winning 25, and being revealed as the Mole 20. The final quiz doesn't count as an elimination round.

Quitting or being removed by production scores -10. Leaving for medical or family reasons scores 0. Either way, the player stops scoring.

If a player re-enters through an official twist, they keep the -8 from their elimination, score 6 for returning, and keep scoring for every team that picked them.

Members can join until the lock. A host can allow new members until the second batch is released; they pick from players still in and score from that batch on.

Members with the same total share a rank. Parties can turn on tiebreakers: finale points, then the pick who lasted longest.

Results come from the released episodes. Quiz scores are never used. Corrections are logged with a reason, standings recalculate, and anyone whose score changed gets one notice.

Hosts can adjust point values until the lock and make audited pick corrections with a reason, for example if a cast member is withdrawn before release.

Not yet. The Mole is coming soon, and the rules and scoring on this page are the proposal. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you once, when The Mole parties open.

Three. Everyone in the party picks before the deadline, and picks are locked for the season, so friends can back the same player.

Picks lock when the first batch of episodes is released on Netflix. Every episode scores, including the whole first batch.

Points come from what happens on the show. The biggest: won the season (+25), revealed as the Mole (+20) and reached the final quiz (+12). The steepest loss: removed by production (−10). Every event and its points are on the scoring page. These values are proposed and can change before the show opens.

4-12 players works best, up to 20. Parties can be private (invite link or code) or public.

No. Pick the Cast is an independent fan game. It isn’t affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any network, streaming service, studio or show.
