What's It Like To Play a Question?

The Questions are your chance to get competitive or just have some fun, all while learning something. Having an understanding of how a Question rolls out is essential to maximizing your score!

Here's how it goes...

CLUE:

When you play a Question, you'll first see a clue for about 10 seconds. If you're playing a Live round with everyone you will have to wait until the "fuse" timer runs out on the Clue and the Question is revealed. There's no rushing the timer fuse - imagine it as the time when sprinters take their marks. Everyone plays the Question at the same time

QUESTION:

Once the Question displays, you'll have 15 to 25 seconds (this is configurable) to answer. The answers could be text multiple-choice, True/False, or could be a group of images to choose from.

Read the Question fast and make your choice. The scoring always starts at a pre-determined value (e.g., 300 points) and then decreases as time ticks away until the minimum Question value is reached (e.g., 100 points). Your score will reflect how fast you answered. The quicker you answer, the higher you'll score if you get it right. But if you get it wrong, a quick answer means more points lost. So choose wisely!

You can see how much time you have left to answer by watching the moving "fuse" pass from left to right inside the Question title box. Don't wait too long to answer! If the Question time expires you won't earn any points.

INSIGHT:

After you play the Question or the timer has run out, and while you are waiting for others to answer, you'll be given an Insight into the correct answer. Insights are awesome because they deepen your understanding of the subject AND boost your score in the future. Be patient, during this time the system is waiting to hear from everyone who played the Question and compiling their results. And because everyone wants their result, it's an ideal time to learn something new!
