What is this game?
A classic quiz game inspired by television game shows like "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." Each round tests your general knowledge across a wide range of topics including science, history, geography, literature, art, sport, and entertainment. You face 8 multiple-choice questions with four possible answers each — only one is correct. You have room for two mistakes, but the third one ends the game immediately.
Ranked vs. free play
Each calendar day brings a new ranked quiz — the same 8 questions for every player who visits that day. Completing the ranked quiz updates your streak and all statistics. Survive all 8 questions to keep your streak alive. Once the daily quiz is finished you can keep playing in free-play mode with randomly chosen questions; those games are unlimited and do not affect your stats, so they are ideal for learning new facts or warming up before a ranked attempt.
The 50/50 hint
Twice per round you can activate a hint that eliminates two incorrect answers, leaving only the correct answer and one wrong option — a classic 50/50 lifeline. Use them wisely: once a hint is spent it does not come back, and you only get two per round regardless of how many questions remain. Saving hints for harder questions later in the round is often the smartest strategy, but sometimes an early hint prevents a costly mistake that would narrow your margin for the rest of the game.
How categories work
Questions are drawn from a pool of thousands covering dozens of categories. Each question displays its category in the top corner so you know the subject area before committing to an answer. In ranked mode the daily set is fixed and deterministic — every player sees the same questions in the same order. In free play the questions are drawn randomly from the full pool, so you will rarely see the same question twice.
Streaks and statistics
A streak counts the number of consecutive days on which you completed the ranked quiz successfully. Missing a day or losing a ranked round resets your current streak to zero. The landing page tracks your current streak, best-ever streak, win percentage, total puzzles solved, and perfect rounds — games where you answered all 8 questions without a single mistake. All data lives only in your browser's local storage: it is private, instant, and needs no account or server.
Tips for better scores
Read every answer option before selecting one — the first plausible option is not always the correct one. Pay attention to the category label: knowing whether a question is about geography or science can help you rule out answers that belong to the wrong domain. If two answers seem equally likely, consider using a hint to narrow the field rather than risking a precious mistake. Remember that you only need to survive 8 questions, not ace every single one — sometimes a cautious hint on a tough question is worth more than a confident guess.
