Pinterest phone screen, rejected

Result: Rejected Number of Rounds: 1 Pinterest SWE phone screen. Got an OOP design question, a game where players start in room 0 and move through numbered rooms. Support addPlayer, moveToRoom, getTopK by highest room. Got through the core structure fine. Tie-breaking in getTopK when players are in the same room caught me for a bit. Rejection came 2 days later, no specific feedback.
