The 85% Milestone

Hitting 85% on a Lore Quiz is Buddzy's gold standard of friendship. Unlock special animations, notifications, and Aura rewards.

In Buddzy, 85% is not just a number — it is the number. When a friend scores 85% or higher on your Lore Quiz, it triggers a whole celebration because that score represents something real. It means someone genuinely, deeply knows you. That is rare, and Buddzy makes sure it feels special.

How It Works

The 85% Milestone is classified as a "Hard" achievement for good reason. Think about what it actually takes to hit that score. Your friend needs to correctly answer the vast majority of questions you wrote about your own life, your opinions, and your decision-making patterns. These are not simple trivia questions — they are deeply personal, and getting 85% or more right is a serious flex.

When a friend crosses that 85% threshold, three things happen:

  • Special animations fire off on screen — it is a full visual celebration that both of you can see
  • Notifications get sent to both the quiz creator and the high scorer, making it a shared moment
  • Aura rewards get granted as a bonus — because proving deep friendship knowledge deserves extra recognition

Why 85% Is the Standard

Buddzy set the bar at 85% intentionally. It is high enough that you cannot stumble into it by guessing, but achievable enough that a truly close friend can reach it. Here is the math — on a 10-question quiz, 85% means getting at least 8.5 out of 10. You basically cannot miss more than one question.

That level of accuracy on personal questions about someone else is genuinely impressive. It tells you this person pays attention, remembers the details, and understands how you think. In Buddzy terms, it is the gold standard of friendship proof.

The Aura Connection

The 10 Aura from the 85% Milestone goes to the player, on top of the 3 Aura for completing the quiz. The creator earns nothing from it — their Aura comes from making the quiz, not from how anyone scores on it. Acing a quiz is a claim about the player, so the player is who it pays.

What the creator gets is the better half anyway: a notification that a friend knew them that well. And if the score also cleared 75%, they owe that friend 2 Stars — see The 75% Star Reward.

Pro Tips

  • If you want friends to have a realistic shot at 85%, calibrate your quiz difficulty carefully
  • Questions that test patterns and preferences rather than random facts give close friends a fair chance
  • Celebrate when someone hits 85% on your quiz — it means your friendship is the real deal
  • Keep track of which friends consistently hit this milestone across multiple quizzes
  • The milestone gets harder to reach on longer quizzes since there is less room for error

Good to Know

  • The 85% threshold applies to all Lore Quizzes regardless of length or format mix
  • Partial credit from Hot Take Radar questions counts toward the total percentage
  • A friend can take your quiz once — there is no retaking to improve the score
  • The milestone notifications and animations only trigger the first time someone crosses 85%
