An exam you have not studied for, a phone in your lap and a teacher who does not move like a person. The whole game happens at one desk. You look down, find the answer, look up before you are caught, and repeat that for four days of increasingly hostile invigilation. It is a pure attention-management game with the tension turned up, because the punishment for a badly timed glance is not a bad grade.

How to play Cheat Or Repeat
- Watch the teacher before you look down. Their pattern is the timer the whole game runs on.
- Take one answer per glance. Greed is what gets people caught; two answers is rarely worth the extra second.
- Put the phone away before looking up, not while looking up. The animation costs time you have not budgeted.
- Write down what you found immediately. An answer you remember but have not written is an answer you will lose.
- Learn each day's new pressure. The invigilation changes between exams and yesterday's safe rhythm becomes today's mistake.
- Keep the paper filled in as you go. A day that ends with answers found but nothing written down counts for nothing.
Tips
- Sound matters as much as sight. The audio tells you something has moved before you can see it.
- If you lose the rhythm, take a blank turn and just watch. Recovering the pattern is faster than guessing at it.
- The last day rewards patience over speed, so leave the difficult answers until the pattern is clear.
- Two glances in quick succession are far riskier than one longer look at the right moment, because the pattern has not moved between them.
Questions about Cheat Or Repeat
What am I actually doing?
Finding answers on a phone hidden under the desk while an invigilator watches, and not being seen doing it.
Is it a jump-scare game?
There are scares, but the core is stealth and timing rather than surprise.
What happens if I am caught?
The day ends. You start it again, knowing a little more about the pattern that caught you.
How many exams are there?
Four, and each adds a new kind of pressure rather than simply going faster.
Can I just answer without cheating?
Not realistically. The premise is that you have not studied, so every answer has to come from the phone.
