How these lists work

Each page ranks the mini-games — Reflex, Smash, Hold and the rest — for that specific moment, with reasons tied to the situation: silence for offices, one-handedness for buses, spectacle for parties. The common thread is the challenge link: one URL that turns any chat, class or call into a tournament.
