⚔️ 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 preview where both players see the question. Use it well — start listing answers in your head!

Then you take turns. On your turn you currently get a 15-second timer to type a correct answer — and here is the twist: the timer shrinks as more answers get found in the round (by default 1 second per found answer, down to a minimum of 8 seconds). The longer a round runs, the spicier it gets.

Step 3: answering

• A correct new answer passes the turn to your opponent with a fresh timer.

• 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).

• If every answer on the list gets found, the round is a draw 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.
