Fantasy mode
Accessible, fast, and fun—modeled after fantasy sports.
Fantasy Mode is Rebellion’s entry-level game experience—designed to onboard new users, reward smart asset selection, and make financial markets fun and competitive without the complexity of portfolio management.
Unlike traditional trading platforms, Fantasy Mode simplifies decision-making while using relative scoring to ensure fairness, even when many players choose similar assets.
How It Works
Team Size: 10 assets
Weighting: Fixed and equal (each asset = 10% of the portfolio)
Asset Selection: Choose from a pre-curated universe of crypto, stocks, bonds, and commodities
Diversification Rule: Minimum 1, Maximum 4 assets per category
Draft Budget (Optional): Each asset may have a cost to prevent overloading teams with top performers (e.g., BTC = 30 pts, DOGE = 8 pts)
Scoring Model: Relative Scoring (vs league average)
Power-Ups & Rebalancing: Not available in Fantasy Mode
Scoring: Relative Performance Model
Instead of scoring based on raw returns alone, each team is evaluated against the average performance of all teams in the league.
Formula: Score = (Your Return – League Average Return) × 100
This ensures players are rewarded for outperforming the field, even in a down market—or when many teams have similar picks.
Example:
Your team return = +2.8%
League average = +1.3%
Score = (2.8 – 1.3) × 100 = +150 points
A player whose team lost 1% in a week where the league lost 4% could still place in the top tier—because they performed better than the majority.
Why Use Relative Scoring?
Keeps contests competitive, even when users draft similar portfolios
Neutralizes market-wide trends (up or down), leveling the field for all players
Focuses on skill, not just following hype
Prevents ties or score inflation during one-sided market weeks
Ideal Use Cases
First-time users exploring financial assets
Sponsored or free leagues focused on onboarding and education
Fast-paced competitions (daily/weekly) where simplicity and fairness matter most
