One-time $5 · five modes
What Hooked Pass includes
The daily haul is free. Hooked Pass is a $5 one-time purchase that adds unlimited random games, crew, duels, and the archive.
The home page, the how-to-play page, the FAQ, and the terms all describe the same price: five dollars, once. The terms name Stripe as the processor. The FAQ says refunds are not offered beyond what the law requires. I am not softening that into a trial or a subscription, because none of those pages describe one.
Daily Haul is the free mode. One set of five categories per local day, and it is the mode that feeds the streak. Unlimited Random is extra themed rounds after the daily one, and it is listed with the pass. Crew is up to five people around one haul. A 1v1 duel uses a six-character join code, and the friend who joins does not pay. Archive replay opens past dates. The pass also removes ads.
The pass is tied to an account. The FAQ says you restore it on a new device by signing in with the same Google or email login and choosing restore. You can play the daily haul with no account at all. Accounts are optional and the terms set the age line at 13.
A six-character code on this game is a join code for crew or a duel. It is not a shop code that grants the pass. I keep those words apart so a search for codes does not land on a reward that the game does not sell.
Whether five dollars is worth it depends on what you wanted. If you only play the daily haul, the public pages say that mode stays free. If you want old dates, extra rounds, or a table with friends, those are the features sitting behind the pass.

Questions people ask
Is Hooked Pass a subscription?
The terms and FAQ call it a one-time $5 purchase. They do not describe a monthly plan.
Can a friend duel without paying?
Yes. The rules say the friend who joins a duel with the code does not need a pass.
What if I change phones?
Sign in with the same account and use Restore a pass. Without an account, the daily game stays on the old browser.
