Home›How it works

Speed is the whole competition

Everyone who knows the answer gets points. How many depends entirely on how fast you were sure.

1

20 seconds, answer options open immediately

Same for every question, every difficulty — the clock is identical for everyone in the room.

2

1,000 points on the table

Every question opens at its full value. From there it only goes one way.

3

−50 points per second

Answer at four seconds, score 800. Sit on it for fifteen and you're competing for 250.

4

Wrong answer scores zero

No negative marking. A guess costs you nothing but the seconds you spent.

How a competition is built

Every competition is 30 questions (10 in the daily free quiz), pulled from a bank of 20,000+ written and reviewed questions across 40 topics. Each tier mixes in a harder edge as it opens: Easy is 30 easy questions; Medium is 25 medium plus 5 easy; Hard is 25 hard plus 5 medium; Expert is 25 expert plus 5 hard. Every question carries an explanation you'll see afterwards in your post-competition report.
