Tiered terrain
Grass, woodland, ponds, streams, ruins, obelisks, boulders, ferns, and blossom. Each ring has its own palette, from a cool outer heath to a warm garden at the heart.

Ring World: the friendship map you can walk through
Ring World turns one profile's bond points into land. Every friend stands in the deepest ring their answers have unlocked, rune gates mark the road inward, and the Tree of Bonds waits at the center.

The short version
What is Ring World?
Ring World is BestieScore's interactive map of one profile's friendship circles. The profile owner sits at the center. Around them sit rings, each with a bond point threshold, and every person who has played that owner's quizzes stands in the deepest ring their points have opened. It is the profile leaderboard rendered as a place instead of a list.
-
Built from real progress
Nothing here is decorative ranking. The map is drawn from the bond points already recorded between that creator and each player.
-
Sized by its population
Ring widths follow how many people are standing in them, so a crowded ring becomes a wider band of land.
-
One world per profile
Every account has its own world with its own rings. Your position in someone else's world says nothing about theirs in yours.
-
A place, not a chart
Terrain, gates, wildlife, and a sanctuary at the center — the same scene the app renders, drawn here as a preview.
Read the world
Every ring answers one simple question
How much bond has this friend earned with the profile owner? The map places each person in the deepest circle their total clears, and the road inward crosses one gate per ring.
- 01
Outer ring
0 bond points
Permanent on every profile. Everyone who reaches the world starts on this heath, and it can never be renamed away or deleted.
- 02
Day ones
55 bond points in this example
A custom ring the profile owner created. Any name, any description, and any unlock threshold that no other ring is already using.
- 03
Inner circle
180 bond points in this example
The deepest custom ring in this example world. Its land wraps the sanctuary, so only friends who cleared every gate walk here.

Bond becomes access
How bond points open the next ring
Each new round is another chance to earn bond. When the running total crosses a ring threshold, the next road opens and the friend moves inward.
- 1
The creator publishes a quiz to a ring
A BestieScore quiz holds up to five questions with four options each and one answer the creator confirmed. Publishing it to a ring creates that ring's share link.
- 2
A friend plays the round once
Each person can complete a given quiz a single time. There is no replaying a quiz you have already answered to farm points from answers you now know.
- 3
Correct answers become bond points
The points from correct answers score that round and add the same amount to that player's running bond with the creator.
- 4
The next rune gate opens
When the running bond total clears a ring's threshold, that ring becomes the player's deepest ring. The gate opens and they move inward the next time they enter the world.

Inside the world
The rings are more than colored circles
BestieScore builds a walkable landscape out of the same ring configuration shown on the profile.
Rune gates
Open ground separates the rings. A gate marks each crossing, and it stands lit when your bond total has cleared the threshold behind it.
Friends in place
Everyone holding bond points with that profile stands in the deepest ring they have unlocked, so the profile leaderboard becomes something you can walk past.
Live visitors
Other people exploring the same world at the same time appear and move in real time. If presence never connects, the world still runs with its resident characters.
Wildlife and wisps
Rabbits, foxes, deer, birds, and butterflies wander the bands while glowing wisps drift over the paths and bridges between them.
The Tree of Bonds
Every road ends at the same planted sanctuary in the middle of the world, where the profile owner stands.
Moving around
How to walk through a Ring World
The world opens on the profile you are visiting. There is nothing to learn first: press, walk, and follow the road toward the center until a gate stops you.
-
Drag anywhere to walk
The stick appears under your finger wherever you press, so nothing sits on top of the world. Arrow keys work on a keyboard.
-
Pinch or scroll to pull back
Zoom out far enough and the whole ring system fits on screen. Zoom in, zoom out, and reset buttons do the same thing with a tap.
-
Tap a friend to inspect them
A card shows their name, their bond total, the ring they are standing in, and a link straight to their profile.
-
Watch the bar at the top
It always names the ring you are standing in and the bond total that got you there.

Your circles, your names
The profile owner shapes the inside
The Outer ring is permanent. Everything closer can be named around the actual group — longtime friends, teammates, cousins, or any circle that fits — and the world redraws itself around whatever you choose.
-
Name the ring
Up to 80 characters. Use whatever your group actually calls itself.
-
Describe the place
Up to 280 characters explaining what this part of the world is for.
-
Set the unlock threshold
Any whole number of bond points, as long as no other ring on your profile already uses it.
-
Edit or remove it later
Custom rings can be renamed, re-priced, or deleted. The Outer ring is permanent and stays exactly where it is.
Rings do more than decorate the map. Publishing a quiz to a ring gives that ring its own share link, so the round only reaches friends who have already earned their way in. See the full product loop.

Visibility
Who can see your Ring World
A world is attached to a profile, so the same rules that govern your profile govern the land around it.
Signed-in visitors only
Ring World opens inside the BestieScore app for people with an account. There is no public web view of anyone's world.
They only reach their own ring
A visitor walks the rings their bond total has unlocked. The gates past that point stay shut, however long they wander.
Blocked accounts are absent
Someone you blocked cannot open your world, does not appear in it, and is not counted when the ring widths are drawn.
More on this: safety and current control limits, what BestieScore stores, and how reporting works today.
What ring progress shows
Who keeps playing your rounds and remembering the answers.
What it never claims
Who cares more, who is more loyal, or who matters most.

Ring World FAQ
What is Ring World in BestieScore?
Ring World is an interactive map of one profile's friendship circles. Friends appear in the deepest ring their bond points have unlocked, and visitors can walk through the part of the world they have access to.
What is the Outer ring?
Every profile has one permanent Outer ring with a zero point threshold. Everyone begins there. Custom rings sit closer to the center and use higher thresholds.
Can I name my own rings?
Yes. The profile owner can create, name, describe, edit, and remove custom rings. Each one takes a bond point threshold that no other ring on that profile is using.
How does someone move to a closer ring?
They earn bond points by correctly answering new quizzes from that profile. Their running total determines the deepest ring they can enter.
What can people do inside Ring World?
Visitors walk the terrain they have unlocked, cross the rune gates available to them, inspect friends standing in their rings, zoom out over the whole system, and travel toward the Tree of Bonds at the center.
Who can see my Ring World?
Anyone signed into BestieScore who opens your profile can enter, but they only reach the rings their own bond total has unlocked. Accounts you have blocked cannot open your world and do not appear in it.
Do I need the app to explore Ring World?
Yes. Ring World runs inside BestieScore for signed-in accounts, because the world is built from your own bond points. This page shows a drawn preview of the same world.
What happens if I delete a custom ring?
The ring disappears and the remaining rings take back its land. Bond points are untouched, so nobody loses progress. The share links created for that ring are removed with it, so any link you posted for that ring stops working.
Does a closer ring mean someone is a better friend?
No. Ring position is game progress based on quiz answers. It is not a judgment of loyalty, care, compatibility, or anyone's worth.
