Nest Score — How Your Team Score Is Calculated
Your Nest Score is the average Level Score of all active Eggs in your Nest. Here's why that makes every single Egg matter — and why one person going hard can't carry the team.
Nest Score
Your Nest Score is the number that puts your team on the leaderboard. Here’s exactly how it’s calculated and what that means for how you play.
The Formula
Nest Score = Average Level Score of all active Eggs in the Nest
That’s it. No weighting, no modifiers. Just the average.
If your 5 Eggs score 120%, 100%, 90%, 80%, and 60% in a given week:
Nest Score = (120 + 100 + 90 + 80 + 60) ÷ 5 = 90%Why This Makes Every Egg Count
Because it’s an average, every single Egg in your Nest affects the score equally.
One Egg going to 200% doesn’t cancel out one Egg at 20%. Let’s look at two Nests:
| Nest | Egg Scores | Nest Score |
|---|---|---|
| Nest A | 200%, 50%, 50%, 50%, 50% | 80% |
| Nest B | 100%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75% | 86% |
Nest B — where every Egg is consistently moderate — beats Nest A, where one Egg is heroic and four are barely showing up.
This is the core mechanic. No Egg Left Behind is not just a motto — it’s baked into the maths.
The Nest Leader’s Job, in Numbers
Getting a struggling Egg from 30% to 70% adds 40 percentage points to that Egg’s contribution. The team effect of that is +8 points on the Nest Score (40 ÷ 5).
Getting the team’s top performer from 150% to 200% adds 50 points to one Egg’s contribution — but only +10 points on the Nest Score.
Lifting the floor is almost always worth more than raising the ceiling.
What Happens During a Health Pause
When an Egg takes a Health Pause, they are temporarily removed from the Nest Score average.
The Nest Score becomes the average of the remaining active Eggs for that period.
| Situation | Nest Score calculation |
|---|---|
| All 5 Eggs active | Average of 5 scores |
| 1 Egg on Health Pause | Average of 4 scores |
| 2 Eggs on Health Pause | Average of 3 scores |
This means a struggling Egg taking a Health Pause can sometimes help the Nest Score if their score was pulling the average down — though the better outcome is always to get them moving, even gently.
See Health Pause for how to request one.
Nest Score on the Home Screen
Your Home dashboard shows the Nest card with each Egg’s individual Level Score and the running Nest Score. This updates as workouts are uploaded throughout the week.
The Nest card is the fastest way to see who’s on track and who might need a nudge.
Common Questions
One Egg in our Nest has barely logged anything. Can we replace them? You can’t swap Eggs mid-challenge. The best move is a private nudge from the Nest Leader — often that’s all it takes. If the Egg is dealing with something, point them to Health Pause, which removes them from the average without penalty.
Our Nest Score is lower than I expected given how hard I’ve been working. Your individual Level Score feeds into the average — but so do all four other Eggs. A strong week from you can be offset by a quiet week from others. The Nest Score reflects the whole team, not any one Egg.
If a Nest has fewer than 5 Eggs, are they at a disadvantage? A Nest with 3 Eggs is still averaged across 3 — so a small Nest can score just as well if all members are active. The risk is that one inactive Egg hurts the smaller Nest proportionally more. Challenge rules on minimum Nest size vary by challenge — check with your organizer.
Does the Nest Score carry over between challenges? No — each challenge starts fresh. Level Score history and individual levels may carry forward depending on your challenge configuration, but Nest Scores reset.
