How do points work?

Completing public rooms gets you a certain number of points.

The room's difficulty will increase or decrease the points rewarded respectively. However, "challenge" rooms award more points than "walkthrough" rooms.

Walkthrough Rooms:

Completing "walkthrough" rooms within the same month that they are released will award you 25% of the available points to your account; the points will be counted in both the "Monthly" and "All-time" leaderboards. However, completing "walkthrough" rooms older than a month will only award you 25% of the points towards the "All-time" leaderboard - not the monthly leaderboard/Workspace leaderboard.

Challenge Rooms:

Completing "challenge" rooms within the same month they are released will award 100% of the points to your account on both the "Monthly" and "All-time" leaderboards. Completing "challenge" rooms not released in the same month will still grant you 100% of the available points towards the "All-time" leaderboard, but only 25% of the points will be included in your score on the "Monthly" leaderboard/Workspace leaderboard.

Leaderboards:

Monthly:

The monthly leaderboards are calculated from the points given above. Monthly points reset to 0 on the last day of the month at 23:59 GMT.
The #1 ranking at that time will receive a badge on their THM profile and a random security gift.

All-time:

Here is where you fight for your place on the wall of fame. You are ranked with the value of your account points against every TryHackMe user. Your prize is #1.

Summary:

  • Only the points from "public" rooms will increase your rank and level.

  • First, to first blood (complete), a box will gain more points than the rest of the users.

  • Challenge rooms released this month give you 100% of the points (to your all-time and monthly scores).

  • Old challenge rooms (not released this month) will give you 25% of the points to your monthly score and 100% to your all-time score.

  • Walkthrough rooms released this month give you 25% of the points to your all-time and monthly scores.

  • Old Walkthrough rooms (not released this month) only give you 25% of the points to your all-time score, none for your monthly score.

  • The "Monthly" leaderboard resets to 0 on the last day of the month at 23:59. #1 will receive a badge on their profile and a random security gift.
