Good to know
- 10,000 points a round. Points come from how close you get on both place and time, up to 10,000 a round.
- Your scorecard. Each round is a square: blue for 9,000 or more, green for a strong round, yellow for a fair one and red for a miss.
- A broader mix. Museum collections lean European, so the objects are weighted to cover a wider range of cultures and periods.
