⚔️ How does a match work, from start to finish?

Step 1: pick a room

Hit the Play button and choose a room — currently Classic, Advanced or Champions. Each room has a coin-and-energy entry cost and matching prizes; there is no Trophy entry fee. The exact live amounts are always shown on the room card. Higher rooms = bigger stakes, bigger wins.

The game then matches you with a real opponent searching in the same room. No bots, no mercy.

Step 2: the round begins

Each round opens with a 10-second waiting preview. In rooms or events where category preview is enabled, you see only the category before the round; the full question is revealed when the round starts. In a room that shows the full question, use the preview to start listing answers in your head.

Then you take turns. Each turn has a timer, and later turns become shorter as more correct answers are found. If a reserve question begins in a ranked match, its first turn uses the regular turn length; every new correct answer then shortens the following turn until the game's minimum is reached.

Step 3: answering

• A correct new answer passes the turn to your opponent, and the next turn's timer starts again.

• A wrong or already-used answer does not end your turn — keep trying until your time runs out.

• Spelling is typo-tolerant, so type fast and do not overthink perfect spelling.

Step 4: winning rounds and the match

• If your timer runs out on your turn, your opponent wins the round (+1).

• When the reserve-question rule is active in a standard turn-based match and a suitable reserve is available, finding every answer to the first question triggers “Question Cleared! A fresh question is coming…” and loads that reserve in the same round; the other player starts it.

• If the rule is off, no suitable reserve is available, or the reserve question is also fully cleared, the round uses the normal draw result and both players get +1.

• The match ends early as soon as someone leads by 2 rounds; otherwise the best score after 3 rounds wins.

• A tied match is a draw — your entry fee is refunded.

Stuck mid-round? Power-ups can save you: Joker auto-answers for you, Time Extend restarts your timer, and Change Question swaps the question. By default the first use of each costs coins, and a repeat use costs diamonds.

Pro tip: fire off the obvious answers fast while the timer is long, and save your trickiest answer for the endgame when turns shrink to the minimum.
