Food Game Streaks, Weekly League and Badges

A food game streak counts the days in a row on which you finish at least one of the daily games, whether you win or lose. The Mosey app adds a weekly league among friends, a stats screen and a few game badges around it. This guide explains how each piece works and where its edges are.

How does a food game streak work?

Your streak is the number of days in a row on which you finished a game: Ladle, Origin or Ingredient. Finishing is enough. Running out of guesses in Ladle or getting every answer wrong in Ingredient still counts, so the streak rewards showing up, not winning. The hub shows it as a day streak, and a message asks you to sign in to keep it.

The day turns over at your own local midnight, wherever you are in the United States, so the next puzzle is ready when your calendar changes. A countdown on the hub tells you how long until then.

What are the streak freeze and reminders?

A streak freeze covers a missed day so one slip does not end a long run. You earn one each week, and the result screen tells you when one is ready and when one has been used. It is not something you buy.

After three days in a row, the app asks whether you would like a reminder. Reminders are off by default. If you say yes, you choose a time, and the app nudges you once a day, only if you have not played yet. You can change or turn it off in settings at any time.

How does the weekly league with friends work?

The league runs Monday to Sunday and includes only people you follow who also follow you back. There is no public leaderboard. The footer says so plainly: only people you follow back.

Your combined score adds each game's result on a zero to one hundred scale, so each game weighs the same whatever its own points. A right-answer day in Ingredient and a near-perfect Origin pin are measured on the same scale. If you follow nobody who follows you back, the league shows an empty state and an invitation to find people.

The league closes at a fixed moment, Monday at 12:00 UTC, once the last time zone has left Sunday. A result note goes out afterward, at a civilized hour in your own time zone, only to people who switched reminders on.

What do the game stats show?

The stats screen shows games played, win rate for Ladle, your streak and your best, plus a guess distribution for Ladle and an average score. Origin and Ingredient show scores instead of wins. The numbers are yours alone unless you choose to compare notes with a friend in the league.

What are the games badges and milestones?

Three badge families sit in the games. The games streak badge counts your best daily run in any one game, with levels at 14, 30, 90 and 365 days, named Fortnight, Month, Quarter and Year. The Top of the ladder badge counts days you climbed Ingredient to the top, and the 5,000 club counts days Origin scored the full five thousand. Both of those use the Sampler to Connoisseur names, at 1, 5, 15 and 40 days, and 1, 3, 10 and 25 days.

Milestone screens mark seven, thirty and a hundred days in a row. There is no prize attached to any of this, and the games are for people aged eighteen and over.

What if you travel or change time zones?

The game uses the date on your own device, and the server accepts dates across a wide range of time zones, so a flight does not break a streak by itself. If you cross the country, your day turns over at the new midnight. A puzzle is tied to its own number, so you play each day's puzzle on its own day. If you miss one, you cannot go back and play it, which is what the freeze is for.

How to build a streak that lasts

Pick a fixed time, because habits stick to clocks: a coffee break, a commute, the minute before dinner. Play one game every day and add the others when you have time. Use your freeze on a busy day instead of rushing a puzzle.

Invite a friend by following each other, which turns a private streak into a small shared one. If you slip, start again; the league and the stats keep no shame list.

Is a long streak the point?

Not really. The games are a few minutes of puzzle, and the streak is only a way to remember to play. A person who plays four days a week and learns something new each time has used the games better than someone who rushes a puzzle to protect a number. Treat the streak as a gentle habit, and let the freeze, the reminder and the league do their small jobs.

Where do the games meet the rest of the app?

Mosey is a food app for finding, rating and sharing places to eat. The follow-back that powers your league is the same follow that shows you what friends rate and save.

Rate dishes by name, add tags that count toward food badges, keep a list of places to try, and invite a friend to build it with you. The daily food games overview covers the three puzzles, the Ladle guide and the Origin guide go deeper, and the food games page sums them up. The US food guides list where to eat.
