Classic Quiz Games
The Classic Quiz is the simplest form of trivia game: one question, four answers, only one of them right. During the short countdown you read the question; then the options appear and the timer starts. Speed counts here: to get a 10 you have to answer correctly within 4 seconds, and your grade goes down as time passes, to a 4 for a right but slow answer. If you're not sure, you can use the Bomb, which removes one option and costs a point, or the Atomic Bomb, which removes two with no penalty.
You can play the Classic quizzes right away as a guest; with a free account you also save your scores and grades. Timing, grades and hints for every mode are in the quiz guide.
Collections in Classic mode
The General Knowledge Quiz is played entirely in Classic mode: twenty-five questions across nineteen subjects, free and with no sign-up.
Subjects that suit the Classic best
The Classic format works with every subject on the site. If you're looking for a place to start, try the history quiz, the music quiz or the animal quiz. If you'd rather answer at a glance, try the picture quiz.
