How to play

Five hundred questions in sixteen categories: history, geography, science, arts and literature, Belgium, sport, language, video games, film and TV, music, nature and animals, space, tech and internet, food, mythology, comics and manga.

Pick a category, then answer by clicking or with the 1 to 4 keys. After each answer, a short explanation appears: take the time to read it, then move on with Enter or the Continue button. By default, there is no time limit.

The timer goes from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, or no limit. Esc pauses the game: the timer stops and the question is hidden. Your best score is saved on your device for each combination of settings.

Every correct answer adds to your progress: the bar shows how many questions you have already got right in the chosen category. In review mode, the questions you missed come back in a loop at the end of the game.
