No. HLOD!! uses virtual points only. You cannot put real money in or take any out, there is nothing to buy and there are no prizes. Points have no value outside the game.

No. HLOD!! is a game. Nothing in it is financial, investment or trading advice, and your score says nothing about real markets.

It is called "Your data. Your choice." It asks whether we may see how you play. Tap Share and we get your choices, scores, timings, survey answers you type, and a player name. Tap Don't Share and nothing is sent. Both are fine, and the game works the same. Your play is saved on your phone either way. Nothing is sent before you choose.

1. Open the menu: tap the gear button, or press and hold with two fingers.
2. Find the section called Your data. Your choice.
3. Switch off the Share switch.

New play then stays on your phone. Stopping does not remove what was already sent. To remove that, see "How do I delete my data?"

1. Open the menu.
2. Under Your data. Your choice., tap Get a copy of my data.
3. Save or send the folder from the share sheet.

You get a Read Me page in plain language, a data file, and spreadsheets (CSV) of your choices and rounds. This is your copy of what is on your phone. If you shared, we also hold a copy; email us to ask for it.

Open the menu, find Your data. Your choice., and tap Delete my shared data. If that does not work, or for older data, email HLODsupport@icloud.com with your install ID and we will delete it within one month. See Your data: steps below.

The game saves your play as small text files (ending in .jsonl) in its Documents folder. Open the Files app, go to On My iPhone, and open the HLOD!! folder. You can delete the files there, or delete the app, which removes them.

Off by default. If you switch on Use my Game Center name, Apple asks you to sign in to Game Center, and the game uses your Game Center nickname as your player name. Switch it off to go back to a generated name such as T-AB12. You can also type your own name under Tester Tools > Player ID. Names already sent stay in your records until deleted.

Open the menu. Haptics turns vibration feedback on or off. Sound plays on silent mode decides whether sound ignores your phone's silent switch. Under Tester Tools, Sound pack lets you pick a sound style. You can also mute sound with the speaker button on the game screen. If you hear nothing, check your volume and silent switch.

Open the menu and tap Replay the tutorial.

After some runs the game asks a few short questions. Typing answers is optional. If Share is on, they are sent to us; if not, they stay on your phone. The longer survey has a No more surveys button that switches them all off.

The game mixes real public headlines with made-up ones. Real headlines come from third-party sources, are shown without our endorsement, and can be inaccurate or about distressing events. Made-up characters and news are fiction. If a headline bothers you, email us the headline text and we will look at it.

The app needs an internet connection to fetch real headlines. Without one, or if a source is down, the game uses its built-in made-up headlines.

No account is needed. The game is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

Account deletion does not apply, because HLOD!! has no accounts. Your play is tied to a random install ID. To delete what we hold, see "Your data: steps" below.

No. Resetting your points costs nothing. Points are only part of the game.

HLOD!! is for ages 16 and over.
