[tldr] The short version: Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah runs the Nusuk Challenge inside its official Nusuk (نسك) app, live since 1 November 2026. You get one key a day; use it to open one of four question doors, answer correctly, and your entry goes into that day's draw. Announced prizes: 100 Umrah packages (winner plus one companion) and 10,000 cartons of Zamzam water. Entry is completely free — no fee, no purchase. [/tldr]

Step 1: Install the official app
Install only from the official stores. Never sideload an APK sent over WhatsApp or Facebook.
- Android: Google Play Store → search
Nusuk→ developer Ministry of Hajj and Umra → Install. - iPhone: App Store → search
Nusuk→ seller Ministry of Hajj and Umrah → Get. - Already installed? Update it, the challenge screen needs v11.19 or newer.
Step 2: Create an account without a visa
- Open the app → Sign in → choose As a Guest. This skips the Saudi visa number.
- Enter your name, email and a working mobile number (OTP arrives by email and SMS).
- Verify the OTP, then set a strong password.
Keep the app language on English if Arabic isn't comfortable, the competition screens are translated.
Step 3: Claim a bonus key with a referral
Joining through a referral link adds one extra key, meaning you can answer a second question the same day.
- Open this link in your phone browser: services.nusuk.sa/app?p=27&id=NG-jAmv2Wox, with the app installed it opens the app directly.
- If the app asks for a referral code, enter:
NG-jAmv2Wox - The Keys counter in your account should increase by one.
[howto_callout type="tip"] Full disclosure: the code above is the site owner's own referral. Using it costs you nothing and gives you an extra key, the referrer also earns one. No payment, no downside. [/howto_callout]
Step 4: Play the daily quiz
- On the home screen tap Nusuk Competition (or Start the Challenge).
- Spend today's key to open one of four doors, each covers a different topic: the Quran, the Prophet's biography, Makkah and the Grand Mosque, or Madinah and the Prophet's Mosque.
- One question appears, pick the answer and hit Submit.
- A correct answer files your entry for that day's draw. A wrong answer still consumes the key, so pick the topic you actually know.
Five ways to improve your odds
- Use the key every day, a missed day is an entry lost for good.
- Share your own referral, find your code in your profile; each successful sign-up adds a key.
- Choose the easier topic, accuracy beats ambition; a wrong answer wastes the key.
- Keep notifications on so a new key or question never slips past you.
- Let family members join on their own accounts, separate entries. Never create fake duplicate accounts for one person.
Safety: what never to do
- there's no fee, no registration charge, no "processing fee". Anyone asking for money is scamming you.
- Never share your OTP, password, passport or ID number, not even inside the app.
- Winners are announced through Nusuk's official accounts and app notifications. A phone call saying "you won, send money" is fraud.
- Use only the Nusuk app, copycat apps and sites with similar names exist.
FAQ
Can I join from outside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. The "As a Guest" sign-in path asks for no visa number, so you can take part from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India or anywhere else, as long as you have the app and a working email/mobile number.
How many times can I play each day?
Normally one key per day. If a referral adds a bonus key, you can answer one more question that day.
When does it end?
Nusuk has not published an end date. Keep using your daily key while the challenge screen is available, and watch Nusuk's official channels for a closing announcement.
Do you publish the quiz answers?
No. The questions cover basic Quran, prophetic biography and Makkah/Madinah knowledge, the easy doors are answerable without help.
