Help Center
Everything you need to outlast them all.
Getting started
How do I create an account?
Outpick uses Sign in with Apple. Open the app and tap Sign in with Apple. No password to remember.
How do I join a pool?
Tap Join a Pool and enter the invite code from whoever runs your pool. If house pools are open for the season, you can browse and join those too.
How many people can be in a pool?
As many as you want. There's no limit on pool size, for friend pools or house pools. Survivor works at any size; big pools just take longer to crown a champion. Invite the whole group chat.
How do I create my own pool?
Tap Create a Pool, name it, choose the rules, and share the invite code with your group. Free accounts can be in up to 2 friend pools, created or joined; house pools never count against that. Outpick Pro unlocks unlimited pools for $9.99 a year, from the Account tab.
How do I change my display name?
Account tab, tap Name. That's the name your pools and standings see, so make it fun.
Playing the game
Can I pick the same team twice?
No. In survivor pools every team is one-time-use for the whole season. Burn the Chiefs in Week 1 and they're off your board until next year. Choose wisely.
When do picks lock?
Each pick locks at that team's kickoff, not one weekly deadline. Pick the Thursday team and you're locked Thursday. You can change an unlocked pick anytime before your team takes the field.
What happens if I forget to pick?
A missed pick counts as a loss. Set up pick reminders in the app so it never happens.
What happens if my team ties?
A tie counts as a loss. You picked them to win and they didn't. Brutal, but that's survivor.
What's a mulligan?
A second life. In pools that allow one, your first loss burns the mulligan automatically and you keep playing. Your second loss eliminates you. Most pools are strict with zero mulligans.
What if everyone left loses in the same week?
Nobody is eliminated that week. Everyone survives and plays on. The pool only ends when someone outlasts the rest.
What if more than one player survives the whole season?
Co-champions. If multiple players are still alive after Week 18, they all win.
Can I join a pool after the season starts?
Pools close to new members at their first kickoff. But new pools can start any week of the season, so a mid-season pool is always a fresh, fair start.
Can I leave a pool?
Yes, until your first pick locks. Open the pool and tap Leave This Pool at the bottom. Once a pick of yours has kicked off, you're part of that season; to bow out after that, just stop picking.
Can I delete a pool I created?
Yes, until anyone's pick in it locks. Open your pool and tap Delete This Pool at the bottom. It disbands the pool for everyone, so warn the group chat first.
Can I see what other people are picking?
In your pool, picks stay hidden until each game kicks off, then they appear in standings. To see what everyone across Outpick picked this week, check outpick.app/nfl-survivor-picks. Same rule there: pick percentages appear only after each kickoff, so nobody can copy the crowd.
See this week's picks›Is this gambling?
No. Outpick never takes entry fees or pays prizes. Any stakes stay between you and your group, outside the app.
Account and privacy
How do I delete my account?
Go to the Account tab in the Outpick app and tap Delete Account. This permanently removes all your data.
How do I restore my Pro purchase?
On the Account tab, tap Restore Purchases. Your Pro subscription is tied to your Apple ID.
