House Rules

Play fair

• Each puzzle is designed to be solved with your own knowledge and reasoning. No automation, bots, or external lookups.
• Do not use browser tools, extensions, or exploits to manipulate your score or guess outcome.
• Each person plays on one account. Creating duplicate accounts to manipulate the leaderboard is not allowed.
• Report bugs or scoring issues to support@doodle5.com rather than abusing them.

Leaderboard integrity

• Leaderboard positions must reflect genuine puzzle performance. Any scores that appear falsified, boosted, or otherwise manipulated will be removed.
• Accounts found cheating or exploiting the scoring system will have their leaderboard access permanently revoked.
• We reserve the right to audit scores and remove entries that do not reflect legitimate play, without notice.

Your username and profile

• Usernames must be appropriate for all audiences. Offensive, hateful, or obscene names — including deliberate misspellings or character substitutions — are not permitted.
• Accounts with violating usernames will have their name forcibly reset to a safe, randomly assigned placeholder.
• Repeated username violations may result in a temporary or permanent account restriction.

Be respectful

• This is a game for everyone. Harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse of other players will not be tolerated.
• Keep any community interactions (profile names, shared content) safe for all ages.

Account security

• Keep your login credentials secure. Never share your password or verification codes with anyone.
• Accounts involved in fraudulent payments, chargebacks, or resale may be suspended without notice.
• DOODLE5 staff will never ask for your password.

Enforcement

Violations of these rules may result in score removal, leaderboard bans, username resets, or account termination depending on severity. If you believe an action was taken in error, you can appeal through our support page with relevant context.
