Terms of service

Last updated November 8, 2026

1. Agreeing to these terms

The Job, the daily puzzle game at playthejob.com, is run by Campbell Lee (“we” or “us”). By playing, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t play.

2. Who can play

You must be at least 13 years old. If you’re under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission to accept these terms.

3. The game

• A new job opens every day at midnight US Eastern time. Each player gets one attempt at each day’s job.
• Dry runs, training, practice on a finished job and replays don’t count toward any board.
• The Job is free, has no ads, and is supported by optional tips.
• We may change, pause or end any feature, or the whole game, at any time. We may also correct or reset results and boards, for example after a bug.

4. Fair play

You agree not to:

• Use bots, scripts, solvers or any other automated tool to play the daily job or submit results.
• Use more than one player ID, device or browser to get more than one attempt at the same day’s job.
• Post or share a route for a job that’s still open.
• Tamper with the game, its servers or other players’ data, or try to overload or break them.

We may remove results, crews or codenames, or block access, if we believe someone has broken these rules.

5. Codenames and crews

Codenames and crew names are generated from word lists, so players can’t post their own text. Anyone with a crew’s code can join it, and crew members see each other’s codenames and results. Share a code only with people you want in your crew. We may remove crews that are misused.

6. No prizes

Boards, streaks and stats are just for fun. There are no prizes, money or rewards unless we announce a specific event with its own official rules.

7. Ownership and sharing

The game, including its name, design, code, levels and artwork, belongs to Campbell Lee. We give you a personal, non-commercial, revocable permission to play it. You’re welcome to share screenshots, replays and share cards of your own runs, and to stream or post videos of your play. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

8. Tips

Tips are voluntary gifts to support the game. They don’t buy any perks, access, advantage or influence over the game or its boards, and they aren’t tax-deductible. Tips are handled by Ko-fi under its own terms, and are non-refundable except where the law or Ko-fi’s policies require a refund.

9. No warranties

The Job is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises about the game, including that it will always be available, be free of errors, or save your results.

10. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from the game. Our total liability for any claim about the game is limited to $50. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

11. Your responsibility

If you break these terms or misuse the game and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

12. Stopping

You can stop playing at any time and delete your data on the your data page. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We’ll change the date at the top, and announce significant changes in the game before they take effect. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the new terms.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. If you live in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you keep the protections of your local consumer law and can bring a claim in your local courts.

15. General

These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the game. If part of them can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term right away, we haven’t given it up.
