Who it's for
For history buffs, students revising, and trivia players who want more than pop culture. Questions are factual and self-contained: you either know it or you learn it.
How a round works
- 10 questions, about 2 minutes. A new set goes live every day, and everyone gets the same one.
- Easy or HARD. Easy gives you 4 choices. HARD gives you none: type the answer for double points.
- 15 seconds per question. After that you can still answer, but you can't win points.
- Points by difficulty: +1 / +2 / +3 🔥 for a right answer, −3 / −2 / −1 for a wrong one. Guessing has a price.
- Streaks, leaderboards and groups: one right answer a day keeps your streak alive.
