I don't mind answering any questions. Scoring in each chapter is based on many
things. It is possible to score AT LEAST 100 in each chapter, and I do know that
in some chapters you can score much higher. I just don't know the exact numbers.

You can lose points in several ways, including failing challenges, not
completing all challenges, and even going to locations more often than
necessary.

Did you notice the difficulty level increase with Chapter 3? It should also get
noticeably harder in chapters 5 and 7 and 8 (6 isn't too bad, if I recall
correctly).
