# Puzzle Storm ![screenshot of the storm page](https://image.lichess1.org/display?h=0&op=resize&path=nojoke:cmsPage:tYG6dDXVW64l:E0eo38Gw.png&w=800&sig=c6f9faeb01cdd902f3e770101d6cfe382b31a9a8) [Solve as many puzzles as possible in 3 minutes](https://lichess.org/storm). Game rules --- Each puzzle grants one point. The goal is to get as many points as you can before the time runs out. You always play the same colour during a storm run. ### Combo bar Each correct **move** fills the combo bar. When the bar is full, you get a time bonus, and you increase the value of the next bonus. Bonus values: * 5 moves: +3s * 12 moves: +5s * 20 moves: +7s * 30 moves: +10s then +10s every 10 further moves. When you play a wrong move, the combo bar is depleted, and you lose 10 seconds. ### Puzzles They come from the [Lichess puzzle database](https://database.lichess.org), and become more difficult as you progress through the run. Frequently asked questions --- ### Is it free to play it? **Yes** . And we mean it. It's free for everyone forever, and it's unlimited. And there are no ads - [as usual](https://lichess.org/features). ### Is there a leaderboard? **No**. At least not at the moment. Where there is a leaderboard, there is cheating. We don't think moderating this is a good use of our resources currently. However you can see your [best scores for each day](https://lichess.org/storm/dashboard), and the best score of each player is displayed on their [profile page](https://lichess.org/@/thibault). ### Does it change my puzzle rating? **No**. Puzzle Storm is unrated. And when you review a puzzle from a storm session, it also is unrated. ### Will people memorize the puzzles? We have [more than a million puzzles](https://lichess.org/training/themes), so it should be very rare to see a puzzle more than once. The Puzzle Storm set is renewed every 6 seconds. ### Will there be more puzzle modes? Maybe. We'll first see how this one goes, and listen to the feedback. [edit] We added [Puzzle Racer](https://lichess.org/racer)!
