How to play

Three lives

Every wrong answer or timeout costs one heart. Lose all three and you can continue once per credit, at a cost.

60-second clock

Each level gives you a full minute to think. Every second left on the clock adds 2 bonus points to that answer.

Combo multiplier

Chain correct answers to raise your multiplier up to x4. One mistake and it drops back to x1.

Keyboard ready

Press 1–4 or A, B, C, D to answer and Enter for the next level. It plays great on phones too.

    Is this site affiliated with game companies?

    Are the questions the same each time?

    The 25 levels are the same, but answer positions are shuffled on every run, so memorizing button positions will not help you.
