- Six questions, one tryEvery set has six questions and you get one go at it. Come back the next night for a new set.
- A card for every setFinish a set and you collect a card for your binder. Holo cards are rarer and drop more often the closer your seat is to the stage.
- Your seatEvery point moves your seat in the Haneul Dome, our stadium: from the upper ring down to the VIP Floor right around the stage.
- The leaderboardSee how you did against other fans, for today and for all time. Pick a fan name on Your seat to appear on it.

- Card stylesScreentone is yours from the start. Polaroid, Neon and Holo are earned: play 30 Dailies, play 14 days in a row, or reach level 10 in Haepi's Journey in one run.
