How to play the agent of the day
Pick an agent from the list and press Guess. The row that appears compares your agent with the mystery one on five points:
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Role | Duelist, initiator, controller or sentinel |
| Region | The part of the world the agent comes from |
| Country | The agent’s country of origin, when the lore gives one |
| Released | The year the agent joined the game, with an arrow |
| A–Z | Whether the answer’s name comes before or after your guess |
You have six guesses. A good first guess splits the roster in two: an agent released around 2022, with a name in the middle of the alphabet, tells you a lot whichever way the arrows point.
A worked example
Say you open with Fade: initiator, Europe, Turkey, 2022. The Role cell stays dark, Region turns yellow-green, the year shows an arrow down and A–Z an arrow down. The answer is therefore a European agent who is not an initiator, released before 2022, with a name before “Fade”: Breach is out (initiator), and Clove and Deadlock arrived after 2022. That leaves Chamber, in two guesses.
Whose ability?
The second tab shows the name of an ability and four agents. Pick the owner. There are five questions a day, and your score can be shared the same way. Ability names are trickier than they look: plenty of players have used Paranoia a thousand times without ever reading its name.
Where the data comes from
The quiz uses the 30 agents available as of patch 13.09. Role, country and release year are public information about each agent. A few agents have no stated country, such as Omen, and show as Unknown. The ability round covers all 30 agents, with ability names and icons taken from the game data, so a reworked kit is picked up at the next update.
Keep it fair
The answer is the same for everyone, so do not post it in a lobby chat. Share the grid instead. And if today’s puzzle went badly, the random agent picker will happily assign you an agent to go and learn.
