Survival of the Fittest Digit

Number Survivor is a tournament-style game where you pick one digit (0-9) and hope it outlasts the others. Each lottery draw eliminates digits based on a three-strike system. The last digit standing wins the tournament, and every player who picked that digit shares the victory.

How Strikes Work

After each draw, digits that appear in the winning combination receive a strike. Once a digit accumulates three strikes, it's eliminated from the tournament. Since a typical 3-digit draw contains 3 digits (with possible repeats), multiple digits get struck each round. Tournaments usually last between 5-15 draws before a winner emerges.

The Digit Grid

The main display shows all 10 digits (0-9) in a grid. Each card shows the digit's current strike count (0, 1, or 2), its alive/eliminated status, and how many players have chosen it. Green means alive, red means eliminated. Your chosen digit is highlighted so you can track it easily.

Draw Log

The draw log records every round: which numbers were drawn, which digits received strikes, and which digits were eliminated. This history helps you understand the pacing of eliminations and gives you data for future tournament strategy.

Tournaments and Stats

Each tournament runs from start to finish (when one digit remains). Your personal stats track tournaments played, wins, losses, win rate, and current streak. A tournament history table shows past winners, and the global leaderboard ranks all players by win count.

Number Survivor Strategy Tips

Since digits that appear in draws get struck, you want a digit that appears infrequently. Check the Hot & Cold page — cold digits (those drawn less often) have a natural survival advantage. However, any digit can get lucky or unlucky in a short tournament, so the game maintains an element of surprise.
