Can You Cheat the Equalture Games?

An Equalture game has no question to search and no answer to copy. It reads how you play, and compares that with people who already do the job well.

Short answer: no.

There is no answer key: the games record every move, the speed and style readings have no better end, and the result is a fit against a benchmark built from the employer’s own staff, which nobody outside can see.

The games
Short browser games, not multiple choice. Each one records every move you make, not only the final result.
The readings
Abilities such as flexibility and learning run from lower to higher. Preferences such as speed against accuracy have no better end.
The result
A Fit Score of high, medium or low against a Success Model built from the employer’s own top performers in the role.
Afterwards
Equalture offers employers interview questions based on your results, so the reading can follow you into the room.

There is no answer key

The shortcut most people have in mind is a list of answers. An Equalture game has nothing to put on one. You drive a car, pick out birds or work through a puzzle, and the game records how you do it: every move, not only where you end up. Equalture says its games score every action a candidate takes, not just the final answer. Two people who finish in the same place can still play very differently, and it is the playing that is read.

Equalture also publishes very little about how its games work. Guides that claim to explain them are mostly guesses, and a guess at the rules is not an answer.

Some readings have no better end

Equalture splits its results into kinds. The cognitive games, such as The Racer and The Fish Discovery, run from lower to higher. The behavioural preferences, such as speed against accuracy in Bird Spotting and an intuitive or systematic style in The Ferry, have no right or wrong answer. Equalture describes both ends as strengths.

That takes away the usual reason to fake. On a preference, there is no high score to reach. Pushing yourself to one end only moves you away from where you naturally sit, and which end suits the job is something you cannot see.

You cannot see the target
The employer’s Success Model sets a minimum range for each trait, built from its own top performers in the role. It differs from one employer and one job to the next. Without it, there is no profile to copy, and a profile copied from someone else’s advice may fit a different job.

The result follows you into the interview

An Equalture result is not only a gate. Equalture offers employers an interview guide built from your readings, with questions that probe the traits the games measured. A reading that does not match the person answering those questions is hard to explain. Equalture also says results tend to stay broadly similar when people play again, so an unusual result stands out.

What moves the result

On the ability games, what helps is the same thing that helps at work: noticing change quickly, testing one idea at a time and planning before you act. All of that improves with practice at the same kind of task. Our Equalture practice games are our own designs that train those skills.

Do
Read every instruction screen. It is the only official description of each game.
Learn what each game measures, so you know whether to adapt, plan or learn.
Play the preference games at your natural pace.
Play rested, somewhere quiet, on the device you know best.
Use any break the employer allows between games.
Do not
Do not hunt for answers. The games are not question and answer.
Do not try to guess the employer’s profile. It is built from its own staff and you cannot see it.
Do not force yourself to one end of a preference. Neither end is a higher score.
Do not let someone else play. Your results can be used to plan your interview.

For each game in detail, see our guides to the Equalture Racer game, Bird Spotting, The Ferry and The Fish Discovery.

Frequently asked questions

Can you cheat the Equalture test?

No. There are no questions to search and no answers to copy: each game reads how you play, move by move. The result is then compared with a benchmark of the employer’s own staff, which you cannot see, so there is no ideal profile to aim for either.

Are there answers to the Equalture games online?

No. The games are not multiple choice, so there is no answer list to share. What circulates online are guesses at how the games work, and Equalture does not publish its rules.

Should I play Bird Spotting fast or carefully?

At your natural pace. Bird Spotting reads a preference between speed and accuracy, and Equalture treats both ends as strengths. Forcing yourself to one end does not raise anything; it only gives the employer a picture of someone who is not you.

Can someone else play the Equalture games for me?

Nothing physically stops it at home, but employers can plan your interview from the results, with questions chosen from them. A profile that does not match the person in the room is hard to explain.

Can I retake the Equalture assessment to get a better result?

That is up to the employer, not to you. Equalture says results tend to be broadly similar when people play the same game again, even a year later.

What actually helps with the Equalture games?

Knowing what each game is looking for, reading every instruction screen and playing rested on a device you are comfortable with. Practice at the same kinds of task takes away the mistakes that come from nerves and unfamiliar controls.

Equalture practice tests

Equalture is a Dutch game-based hiring assessment. The employer picks a few short games for the role, such as The Racer, Bird Spotting, The Ferry and The Fish Discovery, and the Equalture test takes 15 to 45 minutes in a browser. Equalture publishes what each game measures but not how it is played, so the 4 practice games here are our own designs that train the same skills: adapting when things change, balancing speed and accuracy, planning a solution and learning new rules. The Pitch and Team Tactics are not covered, because nothing is published about how they work. Also searched as the Equalture assessment and Equalture games.
