How to play
Each question has four answers and one is right. After every answer you see the correct one with a short fact, so even a miss teaches you something. A round of 10 questions runs from easy to hard.
- Pick a Topic: a single subject, Everything for a mix, or Kids, which keeps to the easier questions across all subjects.
- Choose Players (1 to 4) and the Timer: 15 s, 30 s or Off.
- Press Start. Tap an answer, or use the number keys 1 to 4, or the letters A, B, C and D.
- Beat the timer, then move on with Next question.
- The round ends with your total score and your longest streak.
Controls
- Touch or mouse: tap or click an answer.
- Keyboard: number keys or letter keys, after one click in the game.
- Pause: the button stops the timer.
Tips
- Speed pays when the timer is running: up to 50 extra points for a quick correct answer. A wrong guess pays nothing, though, so don't rush blind.
- Three correct in a row starts a streak bonus worth 50 points per answer, and a miss resets it.
- Read the short fact after each answer. It's the quickest way to learn something from a miss.
- For a class or younger kids, choose Kids and turn the timer off.
FAQ
How is the score worked out?
Every correct answer earns 100. A fast one can add up to 50 when the timer is on, and from the third correct answer in a row onward, each one adds 50 more. Misses and timeouts score zero and break the streak.
How do 2 to 4 players play?
Set the player count to 2, 3 or 4 and enter everyone's names. The screen announces who's up: hand them the phone while the others look away. Each player answers 5 questions, and every lap around the group gets questions of matching difficulty, so nobody gets an easier ride.
What topics are there?
Ten subjects: animals, art and music, food, geography, history, math, science, space, sports and words, with more than 250 questions in all. Everything mixes them, and Kids picks the easy ones.
Can I play the trivia game at school?
There's nothing to download or install, so it works in Chrome on a school Chromebook. The school's network still decides which sites load. If this one is blocked, ask a teacher or the IT team, and skip proxy or unblocker sites, which break school rules and often carry malware.
