Input: your recreation
The round plays a mystery sound; you reproduce it with your microphone. Accuracy is the published success criterion, which in practice means three controllable sub-skills: correct identification of the sound's category (voice, object, animal, meme), committed performance without hedging between interpretations, and clean delivery the room can actually hear.
Judging: live player rating
Performances are rated live by real players, per the official description. This is why the same impression scores differently across servers — the rating function is the room, and it changes eight players at a time. Reading what a room rewards, and adapting between rounds, is the published-mechanics equivalent of "optimizing your build."
Output: score → streaks → leaderboards
Higher-match performances produce higher scores, and results feed win streaks, stats, and leaderboards — all named by the official page. The thresholds, streak lengths, and leaderboard scopes behind those names have never been published, so they stay out of every computation here.
What a future calculator would compute
The moment the developer publishes per-round Coin payouts or mic prices, a calculator can convert sessions into currency and currency into mics — the 09/09/26 update showed exactly how numbers arrive (plain words in the official description). Until then, the measurable planning you can do is session arithmetic: rounds per hour in your server, session length, and balance after a code redemption.
