Rookie plays slow and makes mistakes — a friendly way to learn the ropes.
🛋️ Same device — Pass & Play

2–4 players share this phone or laptop, taking turns. Trivia runs turn-based so the buzzer never favors one seat — fair for everyone.

🌐 Invite online · needs server

Remote invite-link play — each person on their own device — needs a small backend to host the room and sync buzzers in real time. This build runs fully offline as a single file, so live rooms aren't wired up here yet. It's the natural next step on the PHP/JSON stack.

🚀 New here? The 30-second version: On your turn, tap a tile on the board. Most are trivia — slap the buzzer the moment it unlocks, then pick your answer. Get it right to score and keep control. Highest score after the Final wins. That's it — jump in on Rookie difficulty and you'll pick up the rest as you go.

Beat your rivals across a board of trivia, word puzzles and mini-games. Highest score after the Final wins.

The Board

On your turn, pick a tile. Its color tells you what's inside:

Gold = trivia buzz-in · Cyan = word puzzle · Magenta = Daily Double (wager) · Violet = mini-game · Green = power-up.

Buzz-in trivia

Everyone races to buzz. Hit BUZZ before the bar runs out, then answer. Right = points + you keep the board. Wrong = you lose the points and rivals can steal. Tip: you can read along while the question appears, but the buzzer only unlocks once it finishes.

Word puzzles & mini-games

Take turns guessing letters — a correct letter reveals it and you go again. Solve the whole phrase for a big bonus. Mini-games (scramble, missing vowels, fill the blanks) are scored on speed: the faster you solve, the more you score.

Power-ups

Earn and spend them mid-question: 50/50 cuts two wrong answers, Freeze slows rivals' buzzers, 2× doubles the tile, +Time adds seconds. Stuck on a question? A 50/50 is your best friend.

Daily Double & Final

Wager some of your score on one question. Bet big to catch the leader — or play it safe. Only you answer a Daily Double; everyone answers the Final at once.

💡 Tips for beginners

  • Start on Rookie and Quick length while you learn — you can crank the difficulty up any time.
  • Only buzz when you actually know it. A wrong buzz hands rivals a free steal.
  • Save a 50/50 for a category you're shaky on — cutting two wrong answers makes a guess a coin-flip.
  • Behind going into the Final? Wager big. Ahead? Wager just enough to stay on top.
  • Little pop-up tips appear the first time you hit each feature — they won't nag you twice.
