Recruit-a-Friend Challenge

Share your invite link. Every friend who claims a name and plays a game counts as a recruit — and whoever has the most when the clock runs out wins $25.

The standings

Top 20
  1. 🥇KypsReserved username — this player has an account1 recruit

A recruit appears here once they’ve claimed a name and finished their first game. The homepage board can lag this one by a minute.

How it works

  1. 1
    Claim your free account name

    Your username doubles as your invite code, so your link is literally yours: colormemorygame.com/?invite=you. Already have an account? You already have the link — it’s above, and on your account page.

  2. 2
    Send it to actual humans

    Group chats, Discord servers, a class WhatsApp, your bio — the link works anywhere. Friends land straight on the game; no install, no paywall, nothing to buy. Ever.

  3. 3
    They claim a name and play one game

    That’s what makes a recruit count. The claim has to happen inside the challenge window (10 July – 10 August 2026, UTC) — the first signed-in game can come any time after. Friends who already play but never made an account count too, the moment they claim their name from your link.

  4. 4
    Everyone gets paid either way

    Every recruit banks a streak freeze for both of you (up to 5), auto-adds you as friends, and pushes your invite flair through its 1 / 3 / 5 milestones. The $25 just sits on top for whoever recruits the most.

What counts (and what doesn’t)

  • Counts:A new player who opens your link, claims a free account name between 10 July – 10 August 2026 (23:59 UTC), and plays at least one game while signed in — any mode counts.
  • Counts:Friends who’ve played anonymously before but claim their first account through your link.
  • Doesn't count:Existing account holders. An account can only ever be credited to one inviter, at the moment it’s created — there’s no switching recruiters later.
  • Doesn't count:Sign-ups that never play. Until your friend finishes a game, they show as “waiting” on your status above and don’t move the board.
  • Doesn't count:You, wearing a fake moustache. Self-invites, duplicate accounts, disposable-email chains, and bot sign-ups don’t count — see fair play below.

Ties break to whoever reached the winning total first. Standings are counted when an account is claimed, not when the link is clicked — a click today that claims after the deadline earns the normal invite rewards but no entry.

Fair play

One account per person — that’s the whole social contract here. The structural checks (a real email, a claimed name, a finished game per recruit) filter out most mischief on their own, and the rest gets caught the old-fashioned way: before paying out, we audit the winning account’s recruit list — sign-up cadence, play depth, whether the “friends” ever came back. Twelve accounts created in one evening that each played exactly one game is not a friend group; it’s a spreadsheet.

Engineered recruits are removed from the count. Egregious abuse disqualifies the account from the challenge entirely. If someone finds a genuinely creative loophole, we may close it mid-event and will note any rule change on this page. Calls on all of the above are ours and final — the prize is $25, please don’t make us write more rules.

The prize

$25 — PayPal or Amazon gift card, winner’s choice
