Become a Keeper
No ads, no investors. OUTLIER is paid for by the players who enjoy it, and every gift goes to three things:
- Keep it running. Servers, the database, the daily email and the domain. Every new player adds to the bill.
- Make the game better. Developers building new modes, sharper scoring, cleaner design and a hand-checked word list.
- Look after players. Moderation, quicker answers on bugs and feedback, and reaching players in more places.
Annual or one-time, any amount from $25. Unlimited Quick Ten, unlimited Outlier Live and both Almanacs unlock as soon as the gift goes through. You'll join 313 Keepers.
Nothing premium touches the scoreboard. No hints, no extra guesses, no points. Every score, rarity, rank, streak and leaderboard is the same game for everyone, Keeper or not.
