More about this game
Your goal is to survive as long as possible while building a high score by correctly identifying trivia statements as fact or fiction. In the core loop, you read a statement, select a confidence multiplier of one, two, or three, and submit your guess. As you answer correctly, your streak builds and the base point value increases with your level. The run ends when you lose all three of your lives by making incorrect guesses.
Tips
- Reserving the highest confidence multiplier for statements you absolutely know is crucial, because guessing wrong at the three-times multiplier costs two lives instead of one.
- Build your streak by answering correctly in a row; every three consecutive correct answers adds a five-point bonus to your base score calculation.
- Do not rush your answers, as there is no time limit; carefully read the statement to spot subtle tricks before locking in your guess.
Questions
How is the score calculated?
Your base score starts at 10 points and increases by 2 per level up to 30. This base, plus any streak bonus, is multiplied by your chosen confidence level.
How do I lose lives?
You start with three lives. An incorrect guess at confidence level one or two costs one life, while a wrong guess at confidence level three costs two lives.
How do I level up?
Your level increases based on the total number of questions you have answered and your current correct answer streak. The base point value increases as your level rises.
