Each successful claim adds hunt score. The leaderboard ranks players by total hunt score.

Every standard postbox is worth 1 point. There are 8,903 regular postboxes in the Netherlands.

Medical postboxes are marked as a special and are worth 3 points total. There are 492 medical postboxes in the Netherlands.

3

Lowered slot

Lowered-slot postboxes are also specials and are worth 3 points total. There are 482 lowered-slot postboxes in the Netherlands.
