Most players score between 5 and 10 on their first runs. A streak of 15 or more puts you above the average player, 20+ is a genuinely good score, and anything past 30 is excellent. Scores also vary by category: games with huge value gaps (like country populations) are easier to streak in than games with close values (like IMDb ratings).
