How the gauntlets work

Streak, Deep, Sport, Atlas, Biz, Script and Quotes share one shape: a bank of four-choice questions in five tiers, twenty seconds a question, and one life. Everyone gets the same questions in the same order, so the leaderboard is a straight count of how far you got. Play five of them back to back as the Trivia Gauntlet and there is one combined board.

The rest are puzzles rather than quizzes. Focus shows one photo at nine times zoom and pulls back a frame per miss. Extra redacts a historic headline and tears a word free with every wrong guess. Circa narrows the year with each miss. Listed asks you to rank eight real things top to bottom.

Where to start

Streak if you want the classic pub-quiz feel. Sport, Biz or Script if you have a specialty. Focus if you would rather look than read.
