Practice in FailFast Mine
Your rank reflects how hard you pushed, beyond what you already knew.
You answer questions. Right answers and wrong ones both move you forward. When your rank qualifies you, join a group challenge with entry tokens and compete for the prize pool.
Practice questions you already know. Compete against others. When you win, you take the prize pool in tokens.

FailFast Arena launches in beta. Adults in Lagos at Skilled tier who verify their NIN can buy tokens and enter group challenges. Paying winnings out to a bank account waits for a gaming license. Tokens work inside FailFast only and have no cash value.
You do not have to spend anything to start. Practice, compete in free challenges, and watch your tier climb. Up to 100 early waitlist members in Lagos can receive gift cards to try the token loop.
Your rank, your questions, your tier — all carry into the live platform. Join early and you start ahead.
Waitlist closes before launch. Beta members get in first.
No. Your result in every challenge depends entirely on your answers. There are no random draws, no slot mechanics, and no house edge. The platform never plays against you: it takes a flat 10 percent commission from each challenge pool, regardless of who wins. This is skill-based competition, not gambling.
No. You spend tokens to enter one challenge. If you lose, you lose the tokens you entered with and nothing beyond them. Your token balance cannot go negative. You are always in control of how many tokens you commit.
Tokens you win go straight to your token balance. You use them to enter more group challenges and for in-app uses such as AI question practice. Tokens work inside FailFast only and have no cash value.
An entry token is how you enter a group challenge. One token costs 10 naira. Tokens work inside FailFast only, and they have no cash value. You can buy tokens from launch once you are 18 or older, live in Lagos, are at Skilled tier, NIN-verified, and complete a short module on how tokens work. Gift card beta testers in Lagos can also enter with their gift cards.
Yes, for a recent purchase. If you ask within 14 days and none of the tokens from that purchase has been spent, we refund the price of those tokens to your original payment method. Tokens you have spent, won, or bought more than 14 days ago are not refundable. You pay the payment processing fee when you buy, and it is shown before you confirm. It is refunded only if our payment partner returns it to us.

Yes. The platform is open to users worldwide. Practice, tier progression, leaderboards, streaks, and free challenges are available to everyone regardless of location. Buying tokens and entering token challenges are open only to adults living in Lagos at launch, because that is where our gaming license application applies. They also need NIN verification, with BVN at higher tiers. If you live elsewhere, including outside Nigeria or as a Nigerian abroad, everything else is available to you from day one, and we will tell you when paid features open where you live.
Yes. You can register, practice in FailFast Mine, build your rank, compete in free challenges, and climb leaderboards. Token challenges and buying entry tokens are unavailable until you turn 18.
