How Scoring Works
Transparent, skill-based scoring with no hidden mechanics.
Base Points
Every correct answer earns a base of 100 points. Incorrect answers or timeouts earn 0 points.
Speed Bonus
You have 15 seconds per question. The faster you answer correctly, the higher your speed bonus. The bonus scales linearly from 0 to 100 extra points based on remaining time.
Speed Bonus = (timeRemaining / 15) × 100Difficulty Bonus
Harder questions are worth more. Each difficulty level adds 50 bonus points per level.
Streak Multiplier
Get 3 or more correct answers in a row and your points are multiplied. The multiplier increases by 0.5x per streak answer, up to a maximum of 4x. One incorrect answer resets the streak to zero.
Streak 0-2

Streak 3

Streak 4

Streak 5+

Final Score Formula
Points = (Base + SpeedBonus + DifficultyBonus) × StreakMultiplierMaximum possible per question: (100 + 100 + 100) × 4 = 1,200 points
Weekly Leaderboards
Leaderboards reset every Monday. Your weekly total is the sum of all points earned from Monday to Sunday. Rankings are calculated in real-time based on accumulated weekly scores.
