Questions
How does Leonida Showdown work?
Every day at midnight in Monaco a new matchup opens, the same for everyone: two region, place, ride, activity picks of the same kind, each from one of our guides. Tap the one you prefer. You get one vote a day, and playing counts towards your daily sweep on today's dailies and a stamp on the Road to Launch pass.
Where do the percentages come from?
From real votes. Each vote is counted anonymously: a random ID your browser makes (so one browser votes once a matchup) and a salted, one-way hash of your connection to stop floods, kept with the vote. No account, no cookie, no email. If the vote counter cannot be reached, you see your own pick and your own history instead, never an estimate.
How does Build your ranking work?
Eight contenders are drawn from the full list below. Pick a winner in each match: four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final, seven taps in all. Your champion and its card stay in this browser; start a new bracket whenever you like.
Where do the contenders come from?
Only from this site: every card is something one of our guides covers, its line is the first sentence of that guide, and it links back there. The art is original, made for this site, not official artwork. Visit the guides to collect cards for the album too; seven votes earn a legendary album card.
