Answer fast, score more
The clock is worth points, so hesitation costs you
Points scale with difficulty, and whatever is left on the fifteen second clock is added on top. String correct answers together and the multiplier climbs.
- A five answer streak doubles everything, and ten quadruples it.
- One wrong answer collapses the multiplier, which is what makes a long streak worth protecting.
- The reveal holds for a moment so you can see the right answer. There is nothing to tap.
Double points every night
One category pays double, and it changes every day
A different category is worth twice as much each night. It is fixed the moment you open it, so a round played across midnight still pays what it promised.
- Chosen by the calendar, not a server flag, so it is the same for everyone in your timezone.
- Flagged on the home screen before you commit to a round.
- It rotates through all six, so every category gets its night.
Climb the leaderboard
Play the world, or just your own country
Compare yourself against everyone playing, or narrow it to your country. Your rank updates as soon as a round is banked, so a good night moves you up the table while you watch.
- Global and country boards, switched with one tap.
- Your own rank is pinned, however far down the table it is.
- Every point you have ever scored counts toward it.
Keep the streak alive
Miss a day and it starts again at one
Play a round each day to keep your daily streak running. It is the one number in the app that only goes up by turning up, and the only one you can lose overnight.
- Your points, correct answers and streak, all on one screen.
- Eight badges track the milestones worth chasing.
- A daily reminder, if you want one, pointing at a different category each time.
Eight badges
Milestones worth chasing, from your tenth right answer to the top of the table
