How it works

  • A new message appears every day at midnight UTC. Everyone gets the same one, so you can compare with friends.
  • Your streak counts the days in a row you got it right. Miss a day or get one wrong and it starts again.
  • Your answers and streak are saved in this browser only and never sent to us.
  • Every message is invented for practice, in the style of the scams in our guides. About six in ten are scams, so don't assume.

Want more practice? Take the 10-message Spot the scam quiz, or print the fridge poster for someone who'd rather not play on a phone.

Questions

How does the daily challenge work?

Every day at midnight (UTC) there is one new message, the same for everyone. Decide whether it's a scam or genuine, then see the explanation and the warning signs.

Are these real messages?

They are written by us to look like the real thing, based on the scams in our guides. Web addresses use test domains that can't belong to a real business, and phone numbers come from ranges kept for fiction.

Where is my streak saved?

Only in this browser. Nothing about your answers is sent to us or anyone else. If you clear your browser data or switch phones, your streak starts again.

Can I share it without spoiling it?

Yes. The share button copies a result like “TapSafely Daily #12 🟩 Streak 3” with a link, and never the answer.
