How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a primate” — not generic advice.
Animal prompts look friendly until you realize everyone names the same five creatures.
Your edge here is Aye-aye: 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 Mandrill as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is Monkey — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Human is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Notice how Orangutan (Rare) outscores Monkey (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Think in clusters, not singles. Bonobo, Gibbon, and Mandrill sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 2/5 difficulty — 12 banked answers give you room to match, so the real skill is picking the rare ones, not just valid ones.
