## Abstract

The optimal success probability of a communication game sets fundamental limitations on an operational theory. Quantum advantage of parity oblivious random access code (PORAC), a communication game, over classical resources reveals the preparation contextuality of quantum theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 010401 (2009)]. Optimal quantum advantage in the N-dit PORAC game for finite dimensions is an open problem. Here, we show that the degree of uncertainty allowed in an operational theory determines the amount of preparation contextuality. We connect the upper bound of fine-grained uncertainty relation to the success probability of PORAC game played with the quantum resource. Subsequently, we find the optimal success probability for the 2-dit PORAC game using MUBs for the decoding strategy. Finally, we also derive an upper bound on quantum advantage for the N-dit PORAC game.
