Question 1

Who picks which question comes up each round?

Accepted Answer

At the start of each round, 4 questions are drawn from the deck and shown to whoever is about to give the first guess. That player picks one to play, the other 3 are discarded. This avoids questions where the answer is already obvious to everyone in the wording, there's always a better one to pick instead.

Question 2

How does the rising guess work?

Accepted Answer

Once the round's question is chosen, going clockwise, each player must say a whole number higher than the previous guess. The first guess of a round can be any number starting at 0. Nobody knows the right answer until someone challenges or it gets revealed.

Question 3

What happens when someone shouts "Doubt It!"?

Accepted Answer

The last guess is checked against the question's real answer. If the guess was higher than the answer, whoever guessed it takes the round's card. If it was equal to or lower than the answer, the challenger takes it instead. Either way, whoever challenged starts the next round.

Question 4

Who wins the match?

Accepted Answer

At the end of the chosen number of rounds, the player holding the MOST cards is the "biggest loser", everyone else wins. Ties in card count are broken by the weight of each card (2 or 3, based on the question's difficulty) minus any "Doubled!" chips each player collected.

Question 5

What is the "Raise the stakes?" module?

Accepted Answer

It's a counter-bluff: when someone challenges your guess, instead of accepting right away you can push back with "Raise the stakes?". The challenger then decides: hold the challenge (and, if they lose, take the round's card plus the next card in the deck) or fold (letting you continue the round with a new, higher guess).

Question 6

How does "Doubled!" work?

Accepted Answer

If your guess is at least twice the previous guess, you automatically earn a "Doubled!" chip, even if the round ends with you taking the card. Each chip cancels out 1 weight point when it's time to break ties for the biggest loser at the end.

Question 7

How does "Bullseye!" work?

Accepted Answer

Instead of challenging a guess as "too high", you can bet that the previous guess is exactly the right answer. A perfect hit means nobody takes a card that round. A miss means you take every card still left in the deck, the game's most dramatic outcome.

Question 8

Where do the questions come from, and how do I know the answer is right?

Accepted Answer

Every question ships with the source used to verify its number, visible as soon as the answer is revealed, and only facts that are stable over time make it into the deck, completed historical records, physical constants, counts of events that already happened, and fixed measurements. We never use data that changes over time, like current prices or populations.

Question 9

How many players can play?

Accepted Answer

From 2 to 10 players, all gathered around a single device, just like the game is meant to be played at a table, whoever is holding the phone or tablet types in the guesses as the group calls them out loud.

Question 10

Can I undo a mistaken guess or round?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in two ways: "Undo guess" reverts the last number typed in, for a mistyped tap, and "Undo round", available right after moving on to the next round (even before picking its question), rewinds the whole match back to the start of the previous round, as if it never happened.

Question 11

Do I need an internet connection during the game?

Accepted Answer

Only to load the page. The question deck is already loaded into your browser, and all of the game's logic, shuffling, question choice, guesses, challenges and the scoreboard, runs locally on your device.
