How does Freerice work?
As you play Freerice and answer questions right, advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world.

In the game, these payments are represented via grains of rice. The amount of money generated when you see an advertisement can vary, but is roughly equivalent to what the World Food Programme spends to purchase 10 5 grains of rice.

Please note: as of 30 July 2020, we have temporarily reduced all scores in the game to 5 grains of rice instead of 10. This is because, due to the COVID crisis, the online ad market is not generating enough money for us to consistently guarantee that Freerice can raise enough money each day to purchase 10 grains of rice per right answer. When the ad market improves, we will increase the per-question score back up to 10 again.

By playing, you are generating the money that pays for this rice. This money is used for many types of assistance — not just rice — depending on where needs are greatest. Regardless of the type of assistance, you can be sure that 100% of all funds generated on Freerice go to the World Food Programme, and 93.5% of every payment received by the World Food Programme goes directly towards helping children and their families. Freerice does not earn or keep any money it raises.
