Power-ups: Joker, Time Extend and Change Question

TL;DR

Three power-ups can rescue your turn: the Joker answers for you, Time Extend restarts your clock, and Change Question swaps the whole question.

Updated June 11, 2026

Mind gone blank? Three power-ups can save your round. The first use of each is paid in coins, and a repeat use in the same round costs gems.

Joker

Automatically submits one correct answer for you — instant relief. Up to 2 uses per round: the first costs coins, the second currently costs 4 gems.

Time Extend

Restarts your turn timer for a fresh countdown, right when the clock is about to run out. Up to 2 uses per round; the second use currently costs 2 gems.

Change Question

Hate the question? Swap it for a brand-new one and keep playing the same round. 1 use per round.

Good to know

  • Coin prices scale with the room — power-ups cost more in Champions than in Classic. The exact price is always shown on the power-up button in the game.

  • If a power-up fails for any reason, you are automatically refunded.

Pro tip: save the Joker for late in the round, when the easy answers are gone and the timer is at its shortest. That's when it earns its price.
