Packs and Roulette are two separate sections in the Hard Demon List (HDL) navigation, alongside List, Leaderboard, Submit, and Record. Based on the site's own labels, Packs appears to group hard demons into collections, while Roulette offers a randomized or wheel-style way to pick a challenge. The HDL homepage evidence only shows the navigation labels themselves ("HDL v1.7.0 List Leaderboard Packs Roulette Submit Record"), so the exact rules, contents, and mechanics of each section are not documented in the available source material.

What the HDL navigation tells you

The HDL header lists seven entries:

Packs and Roulette sit between the ranking/leaderboard sections and the submission/record sections, which suggests they are browsing or challenge-selection tools rather than ranking or verification tools.

Packs

A "pack" in level-list communities normally means a curated bundle of levels that players complete as a set, often with its own completion tracking. On HDL, the Packs tab is the entry point for that kind of grouped content.

What you can reasonably expect to do there:

• Browse packs as collections rather than one level at a time.
• Treat a pack as a multi-level goal instead of a single completion.
• Use packs when you want a structured progression path through hard demons rather than picking levels individually.

Because the source material does not describe pack contents, pack sizes, or completion rules, check the Packs page itself for the current list of packs and their requirements.

Roulette

"Roulette" implies randomness: instead of choosing a level yourself, the site (or a wheel mechanic) assigns one. This is a common format in demon-list communities for challenge runs, where the point is to remove player choice and force engagement with levels you would not otherwise pick.

What you can reasonably expect:

• A random selection mechanism for hard demons.
• A challenge-oriented use case rather than a ranking use case.
• A way to discover levels outside your usual comfort zone.

The HDL source does not specify whether Roulette draws from the full List, from Packs, or from a separate pool, nor whether results are recorded. Verify on the Roulette page before relying on it for a run you intend to submit.

How to decide which one to use

• Use Packs if you want a defined, finite set of levels to work through and track as a group.
• Use Roulette if you want a random pick and are treating the session as a challenge or discovery exercise.
• Use List if you want the ranking itself, and Leaderboard if you want to compare player standings.
• Use Submit and Record only when you have a completion to register or review.

Practical notes

• HDL is at version 1.7.0 per the site header; section behavior can change between versions, so re-check the pages after updates.
• The available source material does not state pricing, login requirements, or account needs for Packs and Roulette. Do not assume either section is free or open without checking the site directly.
• If you plan to submit a result from a Roulette or Pack run, confirm the submission rules on the Submit page first, since eligibility criteria are not covered in the source material.

The Hard Demon List (HDL) site at hdl.pages.dev is organized around six top-level sections: List, Leaderboard, Packs, Roulette, Submit, and Record. Each serves a different purpose — List is for browsing the ranked levels, Leaderboard for player standings, Packs and Roulette for alternative ways to find or pick challenges, and Submit and Record for contributing and viewing completion records. The section you need depends on whether you're looking for a specific level, comparing players, or adding your own completion.

List

The core of the site. This is where the hard demon levels themselves are ranked, so it's the section to open when you want to see which levels are considered hardest and in what order. If your goal is simply "what are the hard demons and how do they stack up," start here.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard section shows rankings of players or records rather than levels. Use it when your question is about who has accomplished what — for example, comparing how different players stand based on their logged completions — instead of about the levels themselves.

Packs

Packs group levels together into collections rather than presenting them as one flat ranking. This is useful when you want a themed or bundled set of challenges to work through, rather than picking individual levels one at a time from the List.

Roulette

Roulette offers a different way to land on a challenge — instead of choosing a level yourself, you let the site pick one for you. It suits players who want a random or rotating selection rather than a deliberate pick from the List or a curated set from Packs.

Submit and Record

These two sections handle contributions and history:

• Submit — where you send in a completion or record to be added.
• Record — where records are viewed.

If you've completed a level and want it reflected on the site, Submit is the entry point; if you want to look up existing records, use Record.

Choosing the Right Section

The site identifies itself as HDL v1.7.0, so section names and layout reflect that version.

HDL (Hard Demon List) is a community ranking site for Geometry Dash hard demon levels, currently running version HDL v1.7.0. Its navigation covers List, Leaderboard, Packs, Roulette, Submit, and Record, so it functions both as a difficulty reference and as a place to log and compare player completions.

What the site does

At its core, HDL ranks hard demon levels by difficulty and tracks who has beaten them. The main sections break down as follows:

Who it's for

• Players deciding which hard demon to attempt next, using the List as a rough difficulty order.
• Competitors who want their completions counted on the Leaderboard.
• Anyone looking for a challenge without picking manually, via Roulette or Packs.

How to use it

1. Open the List to see ranked hard demons and gauge difficulty.
2. Check the Leaderboard to see where recorded players stand.
3. Use Roulette or Packs if you want a level chosen for you.
4. After beating a level, go to Submit to send in your completion.
5. Your verified completions appear under Record and feed into the Leaderboard.

Things to keep in mind

• The site is English-language and community-driven, so rankings reflect community judgment rather than an official in-game metric.
• The page evidence does not state pricing or login requirements, so treat account or access rules as unconfirmed until you check the site directly.
• Because HDL is versioned (v1.7.0), sections and rules can change between updates—verify current submission requirements on the Submit page before recording a run.

The HDL Leaderboard and the Record page serve two different purposes on the Hard Demon List (HDL) site. The Leaderboard ranks players by their submitted and accepted achievements, while the Record page is where individual level completions are submitted and tracked. In short: the Leaderboard shows who is performing best overall, and the Record page handles what specific completions back that ranking up.

The HDL Leaderboard: Player Rankings

The Leaderboard is the ranking view of HDL. It aggregates accepted records into a player standing, so it answers "how do players compare against each other?"

• Focus: players, not levels. It orders people rather than listing individual completions.
• Input: only records that have already been submitted and accepted. A completion that hasn't gone through the Record process won't affect a player's position.
• Use case: checking where a player stands, comparing progress between players, or seeing who has accumulated the strongest verified results.

Because it depends on accepted records, the Leaderboard is a downstream view. It reflects the Record page's data rather than generating its own.

The Record Page: Individual Completions

The Record page is the submission and tracking side. It deals with specific level completions rather than aggregate player standing.

• Focus: individual records tied to specific levels.
• Action: this is where you submit a record, which then goes through review before it can count toward anything else.
• Use case: documenting a completion, tracking progress on particular hard demons, and feeding verified results into the ranking system.

The HDL site navigation includes a Submit entry alongside List, Leaderboard, Packs, and Roulette, which reflects this split: submission is its own step, separate from viewing rankings.

How They Connect

The two pages form a pipeline rather than competing features:

1. A player completes a level and submits it through the Record flow.
2. The submission is reviewed.
3. Once accepted, the record can contribute to that player's Leaderboard position.

So if a record is pending or rejected, it appears in neither the ranking nor as a counted result. The Leaderboard is effectively the summary; the Record page is the source.

Which One Should You Use?

• Use the Leaderboard when you want to compare players or check overall standing.
• Use the Record page when you want to submit a completion or look at specific level records.

If you're trying to understand why a player's rank doesn't match what you expect, check the Record side first — the Leaderboard only reflects what has been submitted and accepted there.

The Hard Demon List (HDL) site includes a Submit entry in its main navigation, alongside List, Leaderboard, Packs, and Roulette. That is the starting point for sending in a record. The site itself does not publish the full submission rules on the page evidence available here, so the practical answer is: use the Submit section, expect to provide proof of your completion, and check the current list requirements before assuming a record will be accepted.

What the HDL Site Provides

The visible navigation on HDL v1.7.0 is:

• List – the main ranking of hard demons
• Leaderboard – player rankings
• Packs – grouped challenges
• Roulette – a random-selection feature
• Submit – where records are sent in
• Record – where submitted records are shown

If you are trying to get a completion recognized, Submit is the relevant section. Record and Leaderboard are where accepted entries are likely to appear.

General Submission Flow

Because HDL does not expose its exact form fields in the available page evidence, the steps below describe the normal process for this kind of list. Treat them as a checklist, not as confirmed HDL menu labels.

1. Open the Submit section from the site navigation.
2. Enter the level and your completion details — typically the demon name, your player name, and the completion date.
3. Attach proof of completion — usually a video link or an unedited recording. Raw footage is safer than a highlight clip.
4. Submit and wait for review. Records are normally checked against the list's rules before appearing publicly.
5. Check the Record or Leaderboard section to see whether your entry was accepted.

What Counts as Valid Proof

HDL's own acceptance criteria are not stated in the available page evidence, so verify them on the site before submitting. In practice, lists of this type usually require:

• Full completion footage, not a partial run or a cut clip
• No obvious cheats or edits in the recording
• The level matching a demon already on the list, since records for unlisted levels generally cannot be ranked

If your proof does not meet the current rules, the submission is likely to be rejected even if the completion is real.

Common Problems

• Submitting without a video. A screenshot or a claim alone is rarely enough for a ranked list.
• Using an edited clip. Cuts or speed-ups usually invalidate a record.
• Submitting a level that is not on the list. Check the List section first.
• Assuming instant posting. Records typically go through review before they show up under Record or Leaderboard.

Quick Reference

The one thing you can rely on from the site itself is the Submit entry point. Everything about required proof and eligibility should be confirmed there before you send anything in.
