Farkle Challenge
ReleasedBank it, or roll on and risk it.
Roll six dice and set aside the ones that score. Then bank what the turn has made, or roll the dice you have left and risk it all on the next throw. A roll with nothing to score is a Farkle, and the turn's points are gone.

What's inside
Everything Farkle Challenge does, without the filler.
One question after every roll
Hold at least one scoring die, then bank the turn's points or roll the rest. Score with all six and you have Hot Dice: six fresh dice, with the points still on the line.
Three computer levels
Easy takes everything that scores and banks early. Medium weighs the next roll and takes chances when it is behind. Hard works out its chance of winning for every choice. All three are free, and none of them sees a roll in advance.
Daily Farkle
Ten turns with the same dice for everyone, every day. The first attempt is the official one, and a streak counts the days in a row.
Friend Farkle
A private challenge sent as a link or a short code. Everyone plays ten turns from the same start, and each result is checked by replaying its moves on your phone before it joins the list.
Solo and Play together
Ten turns for a record, or reach 10,000 in as few turns as you can. Or pass one phone round for two to four players.
Decisions worth a look
After a game, see what you kept, the risk you took and what would have scored more on average. Luck is left out — only the choice, from what you knew. The biggest one is free; the whole review is Premium.
Training
Learn the scoring, practise bank-or-roll situations with their real risk, or play a training game with tips and undo. Nothing in training counts in statistics, records or streaks.
Eight languages
English, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Norwegian. The game follows your phone's language, or the one you pick in Settings.
Why people use Farkle Challenge
The reasons that survive the second week.
The rules are stated, not assumed
Farkle has no single rulebook, so the game names the one it plays: classic_v1, written out in the app with real dice. Every game, challenge and result carries it, so two scores are only compared under the same rules.
It judges the choice, not the dice
The review measures what a decision was worth on average, from what you knew when you made it. A Farkle after a sound roll is bad luck, and the app says so.
The whole game is free
Every way to play and every computer level cost nothing, and there are no ads. Premium adds depth for players who want to get better.
Frequently asked questions
A single 1 is 100 and a single 5 is 50. Three 1s are 1,000, and three of any other number are that number × 100. Four of a kind is 1,000, five 2,000 and six 3,000. A straight from 1 to 6 and three pairs are 1,500 each, and two triplets 2,500. Only dice from the same roll combine, and every die you hold must score.
