FAQ

Is THOOZIE actually free?

Yes. Every card is obtainable free — see the Collector's Promise. There is no card behind a paywall, and no mode requires payment. Right now there isn't even a way TO pay: real-money purchases aren't switched on yet (see the pricing page). Everything you can do today, you can do for nothing.

What are coins, and how do I get them?

Coins are the in-game currency, earned two ways: melting duplicate cards down at their published rate, and completing album pages, which pays out a coin reward on top of the quest pack. Coins buy packs on the shelf. They are a closed loop — earned in the park, spent in the park, never converted to real money, never resold. See /pricing for the full breakdown.

Can I buy packs with real money?

Not yet. Pack prices in pounds are shown as "coming soon" on the shelf — there is no checkout built, and nothing on THOOZIE currently accepts a card payment. When that opens, it will only ever accelerate what you can already reach for free; see the Promise for the line we won't cross.

What's a duel, and what do I win?

A duel calls a card's six battle stats — Height, Speed, Inversions, Throughput, Build Cost and Vintage — against an opponent's card. It's a test of your collection and your read on the numbers. It does not currently pay out coins or cards; a duel win is bragging rights and a record on your stats page, nothing more, and we'd rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise.

How do the odds work? Can they change without warning?

The full pull-rate table lives at /odds, generated straight from the same numbers the pack engine draws against — not retyped by hand, so it can't quietly drift from what actually happens when you open a pack. If odds ever change, that page changes the same day. Every opening is server-seeded and independently verifiable after the fact; see the Verify section on /odds.

What happens when I refer someone?

When someone signs up using your link and it activates, you get a Thank-You Pack — three free cards. That is the whole reward today. There is no coin bonus and no bonus box for referrals yet, however it might read elsewhere.

I don't have an invite code. Can I still join?

THOOZIE is currently invite-gated while Season One is in beta. If you don't have a code, join the waitlist at /beta — codes go out oldest-first as capacity opens up, and we'll email you the moment yours is ready.

A stat on a card looks wrong. How do I flag it?

Every card page has a way to report a fact — tell us what you've got and where it's from (a manufacturer spec, a press release, a park statement beats a forum thread). See /methodology for how Height, Speed, Build Cost and Throughput are sourced, and how corrections get verified before a number changes.

Is THOOZIE gambling?

No — and this is the one line we treat as absolute. Coins never convert to real money, are never transferable outside the game and are never resold; there is no cash-out, full stop. Every card is reachable free, so paying (once that opens) only ever buys speed, never access to something a free player structurally can't reach. See the Collector's Promise for the whole list.

What ages is THOOZIE for?

THOOZIE does not allow under-13 accounts. Under-18 spending (once real-money purchases exist) requires parental consent, and child accounts default to £0 spend. Age gates are imperfect by nature; we run ours in good faith and treat any gap as a bug, not a feature — see the Promise.

Does my data get sold?

See /privacy for the full policy. Short version: we collect what running the game requires and nothing is sold to advertisers.

Is there a mobile app?

THOOZIE runs as an installable web app (PWA) from your phone browser — add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app, no app-store download required.
