How It Works
Pay more. Take #1. Push everyone back.
The first person pays $1 and takes #1. The next pays $2. Then $3. Then $4. Every time somebody takes the front, the price rises by exactly $1.
Every jump to #1 costs more than the last. The later you arrive, the more expensive the front becomes.
Getting in early means a cheaper shot at #1 — and more time for your place to become part of the history of the queue.
You keep your place
Taking #1 does not disappear when somebody overtakes you. Your entry stays in The Queue, moving back as new leaders arrive. Your name, position, total spend and #1 history remain part of the record.
And you can come back
If you have already been in the queue, you can fight your way back to the front. Pay the current price and your existing entry moves back to #1. Your cumulative spend, appearances at #1 and comeback count all rise with it.
How much is #1 worth to you?
That answer changes every time somebody else takes it.
Everyone has a place. Only one gets #1.
