What your score in Impostor among us: Escape from prison really means
Scoring in Impostor among us: Escape from prison is best understood as progress plus consistency. A single good move helps, but a run of good moves without a careless mistake helps far more. Think of it in words rather than a formula: your score grows with what you do well, and it grows faster when you chain good moves together instead of breaking the chain.

|---|---|---|
| First solid run | 868 | You understood the basics and finished a clean run. |
| A good run | 2,494 | You kept your momentum and avoided early mistakes. |
