Take the Rice Purity Test with friends
The traditional way: one person reads, everyone keeps their own count. Then compare scores, if you want to.
Group mode
Show this on one screen, or cast it to a TV. Tap Next, or use the arrow keys or the space bar. Everyone starts at 100 and takes away a point for each item they have done.
Scoreboard
Type in names and scores to see the group average. It lives in this page only and disappears when you close it.
| Name | Score | Remove |
|---|
House rules that keep it fun
- Nobody has to play. A 2012 Thresher editor put it bluntly: making the test compulsory is just bad advising[1].
- Nobody has to share. Counting in your head and keeping the number to yourself is a normal way to play.
- No follow-up questions unless offered. One student told the Thresher that shared scores became "targeting information" for later games[2]. Do not be that group.
- Not a checklist. Will Rice's O-Week coordinators warned new students not to treat it as a list of things to do[2].
