How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous treaty” — not generic advice.
Everyone remembers the headlines of history. The points are in the figures and events one chapter deeper.
The winning instinct on this one: skip your first thought entirely and type your second. Treaty of Tordesillas is a perfect example — completely valid, just not the reflex answer. Treaty of Paris 1783 plays the same role as a backup.
The trap is Versailles Treaty — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. NATO Treaty 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: Treaty of Versailles lands in Rare while Versailles Treaty sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Treaty of Ghent comes to mind, Treaty of Utrecht and Treaty of Paris 1783 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.
