How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a type of cake” — not generic advice.
Food prompts look easy, which is exactly the trap — the most deliciously obvious answer is also the most common.
Lead with Dobos Torte. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Angel Food Cake works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
The trap is Chocolate Cake — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Vanilla Cake 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: Red Velvet Cake lands in Rare while Chocolate Cake sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Think in clusters, not singles. Pound Cake, Carrot Cake, and Angel Food Cake sit in the same rarity band — knowing one should unlock the others when the clock is running.
Rated 3/5 difficulty with 11 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
