📉 How does the Wrong Answer Drop event work?

In Wrong Answer Drop you earn exactly like in Timed Score — but here, mistakes bite back: every wrong answer knocks points right off your score.

How a match works

• A match has 3 rounds.

• You and your opponent see the same question and answer simultaneously until the timer ends (currently 30 seconds).

• The higher round score wins the round; a 2-round lead ends the match early.

Scoring

• Correct answer: a 20-point base plus a streak multiplier that grows by +0.1 per consecutive correct answer.

• Wrong answer: −10 points off your round score (it never drops below 0) — and your streak resets too. You'll see the red drop on screen.

• Duplicates (answers your opponent already found) score 0 but carry no penalty and don't break your streak.

Power-ups

• Joker — available by default and works as usual.

• Change Question — available by default before the round starts.

• Time Extend — unavailable in timed rounds.

Tips

• A mistake costs double — the −10 plus your hard-earned multiplier. One extra second of thinking is usually worth it.

• Build your streak on safe answers first, then take calculated risks.

• In a tight endgame, weigh every guess: a single −10 can decide the round.

Speed wins rounds, discipline wins matches — the player who avoids the −10s usually takes it.
