The server starts your question timer when it issues the question. Loading time counts.

Tap one of four choices, or use keys 1–4.
Points & lives
- Every correct answer: +1 point
You keep all the points you earn. A mistake does not reset your score.
- Wrong answer or timeout: −1 life
Both cost one life. The correct answer is not revealed afterwards.
- One choice per question
Your answer locks as soon as you choose it. There is no free skip.
- A new question follows
The next image appears after brief feedback, while you still have lives and questions left.

Two different clocks
- Time left
- The countdown for the current question. It starts when the server issues the question, including image loading. Switching tabs does not pause it.
- Quiz duration
- The total time from the start of your quiz to its end. It includes question and image loading, feedback and time in the background. During play, it is labelled Elapsed.
The server deadline applies during connection and image-loading errors too. Retry confirms the same question or chosen answer; it never resets a clock. The final duration stops when the server accepts the last answer, or receives your exit.
When a quiz ends
A regular quiz ends when you lose your last life, reach the end of the available questions, or choose to exit. Leaving, reloading or closing the page also ends that run.
You can revisit your last result and start a new quiz. A regular quiz cannot be resumed.

Guests & saved records
You can play regular quizzes without an account. Your last guest result stays on this device while browser storage is available; logging in later does not add it to your account.
Log in before starting a quiz to save personal bests and join the leaderboard. Records are kept separately for each category and difficulty. Higher scores rank first; equal scores are ordered by shorter Quiz duration. The server measures time, so your connection can affect it.
Daily Challenge
A separate challenge: one question and one answer per day. An account is required.
- Until midnight US Central. Answer time runs from the first server start until the server accepts your answer, including loading, connection delays and time away. Continuing on another device keeps the original start.
- Build a streak. Correct answers on consecutive days extend your streak.
- A new question at midnight. Daily resets in America/Chicago (US Central), which may differ from your local date. Yesterday’s question closes immediately; unsent or late answers cannot be saved after the reset.
