Cheats

These valuable little things will help you advance in the game.

How to get cheats

There are five ways to get a cheat.
One for inviting 5 of your friends and another for every friend that joins the quiz. You earn cheats for every new level you achieve. You also get rewarded for every streak of 10 right answers. Plus, if you’re struggling, we’ll give you a cheat after 10 wrong answers in a row.

Cheats explained

50/50 eliminates two wrong answers, leaving you with a 50/50 chance to get it right. Careful here, though, because the clock keeps ticking.

Stop the clock freezes the 30-sec timer so you can take as much time as you need to answer the question.

Free Pass automatically gives you the right answer, but you’ve got to be quick if you use it to get the maximum points. This is a great one to have - use it wisely.

Poll the audience shows you how many other players chose each possible answer. Be careful, though, the "wisdom of the crowd" isn't always right.
