Understanding Leaderboards: All-Time vs. Daily Boards Explained
3 min read
Most games on GAMEAREA track two separate leaderboard windows — here's what each one is for.
All-time boards
The all-time board tracks the single best validated score ever submitted by each player for that game. It rewards mastery and consistency built up over a long period.
Daily boards
The daily board resets every 24 hours, giving every player — new or veteran — a genuine shot at a top spot on a level playing field, without needing to out-grind months of accumulated play.
Why both matter
All-time boards reward long-term dedication; daily boards keep the game inviting for players jumping in for the first time. Scores on both boards go through the same validation pipeline, so every ranking you see reflects a real, verified result.
