Quick answers.
Do I have to use the timer?
No. Time a job, or log it already done. Both earn points. Only timed jobs can set a personal best.
Who chooses the jobs?
You two do. Choose your own jobs or ask your partner. A new job request joins their list after they accept.
When does the week end?
Sunday at 7pm, London time. The weekly score starts fresh; your XP carries forward.
Can I lose anything in Extras?
A scrub clears unbanked Spin winnings, not your original job points. Refusing a dare costs 200 coins, not XP. Declining a duel costs nothing.
