How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous ancient temple” — not generic advice.
History prompts reward the second thing you learned, not the first — the famous names are always crowded.
Your edge here is Temple of Karnak: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank Temple of Artemis as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is The Acropolis — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Luxor Temple is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: Parthenon lands in Rare while The Acropolis sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Abu Simbel comes to mind, Borobudur and Temple of Artemis are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
