Rules
Effective 2026-08-28. Last updated 2026-08-28.
King of the World is a social game - nothing more. Everyone gets a public page and a score in GRN (Grains, the game’s points). Whoever has the most GRN holds the game’s one funny title: “King of the World” - which is also the name of the game itself. The title exists only inside this game, means nothing outside it, and comes with no prize, no reward, no money, and no rights - just bragging rights. The point is to support people you like and have fun doing it.
The title
- One title: King of the World. There are no queens, no country kings, no rounds, no elections.
- Whoever has the most GRN holds it - right now, live, until someone passes them. A tie never dethrones.
- The people can also vote a King down. Your daily vote can be a dislike instead of a like - only at the sitting King, never at yourself. A dislike is -1 GRN on the King’s score, and it spends your vote for the day. The moment the King’s score drops below the runner-up’s, the crown moves. A King with 1,200 GRN and a runner-up at 0 falls on the 1,201st dislike.
- Each country also has a leaderboard; its #1 gets a message slot on that country’s page. That’s a perk, not a title.
- The crown’s only reward is bragging rights: a spot on the home page, a “message to the world”, and a link.
GRN are points
- Your score is exactly the sum of GRN you hold: likes received + support received + GRN you bought − GRN you gave away. Nothing else. No multipliers, no weighting, no hidden math.
- GRN never expire and never reset. The only way your score goes down is you choosing to support someone.
- Scores are verifiable: every donation is a public record, and likes are published as anonymous daily totals. Anyone can add them up and get your score. Who liked whom stays visible for 7 days (your “recent support”), then it’s deleted - that part is private.
Three ways to give GRN
- Like - free, once a day. Each signed-in player gets 1 vote per UTC day - a like for anyone, or a dislike for the King. 1 like = 1 GRN. You can’t like yourself. This is the whole game for most people - you never need to spend anything.
- Support - with your own GRN. Move GRN from your score to someone else’s. Minimum 10 per donation. Not to yourself. Every GRN counts in full.
- Buy - optional. $1 = 10 GRN, minimum 100 GRN ($10). Bought GRN go straight to your score - and are yours to give away.
What GRN are not
- Not money. GRN have no cash value, can’t be cashed out, refunded, sold, or traded, and can’t leave the game.
- Not a bet. There is no chance involved anywhere: every action has a known result before you take it, and there is nothing to win.
- Not an investment. Nobody - not the King, not the operator - pays anyone out. Ever.
Countries
- Every player represents one country, or competes as Independent under no flag, like Olympic independent athletes.
- It’s just where you appear. Your country never limits who can support you, and it doesn’t have to be where you live.
Your page
- You can only be supported under your own account and handle. Nobody can create a page for someone who hasn’t signed up.
- Your name, handle, avatar, country, and — if you reign — your message and link are public.
- Keep it clean: no sexual content, no hate, no impersonation, no scams, no chat-invite links, no illegal stuff. Links are yours to answer for.
- Automated likes, fake accounts, or manipulating scores gets a page removed. GRN received by a removed page are not refunded to anyone.
Fair play
- Rally your friends, your followers, your country. That’s the game.
- Coordinated pile-ons meant to humiliate someone are not the game, and we’ll act on them.
- The rules may change. When they do, this page and the date on it change too. Scores never do.
