How to play
Game modes (Solo, Ranked, Duel), scoring, streaks and the ranks from Iron to Challenger.
Solo
To practise, no account, no pressure.
You pick the topics (one, several, or precise sub-topics such as “History: Middle Ages + Sport: Ligue 1”), the difficulty, the number of questions (5 to 20) and their types: mystery excerpt (find the article whose title is hidden), picture, dates (year, timeline), creators, odd one out and countries.
Ranked
The ranked mode, with an account: 10 questions of every type, on the topic of your choice.
You don’t pick the difficulty: it follows your rank. The higher you climb, the harder the questions.
Every game wins or loses you RP (rank points). Details in the Ranks tab.
Multiplayer
2 to 12 players in a room, for General knowledge, Blind test and CurioGuesser: the same questions (or the same place) at the same time.
Create a room, share its 6-character code or link, invite your friends: the host starts the game once everyone is in.
The fastest correct answer scores the most: +50 for the first, +40 for the second, +30 for the third… In CurioGuesser, the closest to the spot wins the most points. No rank: it’s all for the win.
Duel · 1 vs 1
Live against a friend: same questions, at the same time.
Roulette: 4 rounds of 4 questions, each round’s topic is drawn at random.
Classic: you pick the topics and sub-topics, the number and types of questions.
The first correct answer takes +50; the second loses 10 pts of that bonus per second behind. A mistake costs nothing, but breaks your streak.
You can also look for a random opponent close to your rank.
A correct answer
100 points, plus up to 50 if you answer fast. Wrong answer or time’s up: 0 points.
The streak
Chain correct answers to multiply your points. The first mistake resets the streak.
8 in a row: ×1.75. 5 in a row: ×1.5. 3 in a row: ×1.35. 2 in a row: ×1.2.
The difficulty
The harder it is, the more every point counts.
Easy ×1, Medium ×1.5, Hard ×2, Expert ×3.
The ranks
The League of Legends ranks: everyone starts in Iron IV. From Iron to Diamond, each rank has 4 divisions (IV, III, II, I) of 100 RP. Master, Grandmaster and Challenger have no divisions (400 RP each, Challenger is the top).
Iron: 0 – 399 RP · expected 40 % · Easy
Bronze: 400 – 799 RP · expected 45 % · Easy
Silver: 800 – 1199 RP · expected 50 % · Medium
Gold: 1200 – 1599 RP · expected 55 % · Medium
Platinum: 1600 – 1999 RP · expected 58 % · Hard
Emerald: 2000 – 2399 RP · expected 61 % · Hard
Diamond: 2400 – 2799 RP · expected 64 % · Hard
Master: 2800 – 3199 RP · expected 67 % · Expert
Grandmaster: 3200 – 3599 RP · expected 70 % · Expert
Challenger: 3600 RP and up · expected 72 % · Expert
How RP change
Each rank has an expected score: the share of correct answers a player of that level gets on average. At the end of the game, your score is compared to the expected one for your rank.
Better than expected: you gain 10 RP per correct answer above the expected score (up to +50).
Right on the expected score: nothing changes.
Worse than expected: you lose 10 RP per correct answer below it (down to −40). You never go below 0.
The higher you climb, the higher the expected score and the harder the questions: you settle at the rank that matches your level, and climbing takes real progress.
Examples: in Iron IV (40% expected), 6 correct answers out of 10 earn +20 RP and 4 change nothing. In Silver IV (50%), 4 out of 10 lose 10 RP and 7 earn +20 RP.
Leaving a game in progress counts as a loss: the remaining questions count as wrong, and you lose at least 15 RP.
Seasons
A Ranked season lasts a month, like the pass. On the 1st, a new season starts and everyone loses 1000 RP, that’s 2 to 3 ranks, in all three modes (General knowledge, Blind test, CurioGuesser). You never go below 0 RP.
Every season, everyone restarts lower and climbs again: staying at the very top has to be earned every month.
Coins and XP
Every game you finish with an account earns coins (10, +2 per correct answer, plus a bonus in Ranked, for a duel win or a room podium) and XP for the season pass.
Boosters
A game with at least one correct answer also gives a booster of the topic you played (up to 10 a day). Its rarity varies: lots of commons, fewer rares, few epics and legendaries. A great game has a better chance of a good one.
Every day, a free booster; every week, an epic booster of the topic of your choice. The shop sells them too.
Cards and showcase
A booster holds 5 cards: Wikipedia articles from its topic. The most famous (Mbappé, Einstein…) are the rarest. Show off your 10 best cards on your profile, and sell your duplicates to the bank.
Market
Put a card up for auction (starting price, optional buy-now price, from 1 h to 3 days): other players bid. Your bid is held while you lead and returned if you’re outbid. The bank keeps 5% of the sale price.
Season pass
One season a month, 30 levels of 100 XP: coins, increasingly rare boosters and exclusive cosmetics. Remember to claim your rewards before the month ends!
The rooms
The Chat button in the header opens the chat: a World room, one per game (General knowledge, Blind test, CurioGuesser) and one for your country. The last 50 messages show when you open it, and the counter tells you who’s around.
Every logged-in account can write; visitors need an account.
Replies and mentions
The reply arrow next to a message replies to it: your answer quotes the original, and clicking the quote jumps back to it.
Type @ to mention a friend: your friends are suggested, Tab or a click completes the name. The mentioned player sees the message highlighted.

All three packs (Base, Party, Game) are free for everyone, from the chat sticker picker. A sticker is sent like a message.

The “⋯” menu on a message lets you report it or block its author (you stop seeing their messages).
