How points work

Scoring

Earn points every night
Score is based on correct answers and how fast you lock them in.
Speed rounds pay off
Lightning rounds reward the fastest correct answer with extra points.
Standings never reset
The leaderboard is all-time — every point you earn stays on the board.
💰 Wager Rounds

Certain rounds let your team risk points you've already earned on how confident you are in your answer. Get it right and you gain big — get it wrong and you lose what you wagered. It's the moment the whole room holds its breath.

FAQs

Is it free to play?
Yes — keKNOWsabe Trivia is free to play, every week.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Scan the QR code on the big screen with your phone's camera and you're in — everything runs in your browser.
Do I need to sign up ahead of time?
No sign-up required. Just show up with your team before the game starts.
Can I play solo, or do I need a team?
Either works — grab a group and play as a team, or jump in on your own.
What happens if my phone dies or loses signal?
You'll need a working phone with a live connection to answer each question, since scoring happens in real time. If the venue allows it, you can ask the host to switch your team to paper answer sheets instead.
