How to Play
Know it · Bet it · Lock it in
A confidence-wager quiz show. Every multiple-choice question, you don't just answer — you bet on how sure you are. Pick a 1×/2×/3× multiplier, lock your answer against the clock, then gamble it all on the double-or-nothing finale.
2–12 players · ~10 questions + a double-or-nothing finale
A round, beat by beat
1. Read the question
A multiple-choice question hits the screen — four options, A through D. Everyone answers the same question simultaneously, under one ~20-second timer. The difficulty badge tells you the base points on offer: Easy 500, Medium 1000, Hard 1500.
2. Set your confidence
Before you lock, spin the confidence dial: 1×, 2× or 3×. Dead sure? Crank it to 3×. Hedging? Play it at 1×. Your multiplier decides how much that question is worth to you.
3. Lock it in
Commit to an option and pull the lever. A lock is final for the question — no take-backs. The lock board fills as the room commits, and once everyone's locked (or the clock runs out) play moves on.
4. The reveal
The correct answer lights up green. Nail it and you bank base × your multiplier; miss it and you score nothing — you only ever risk the upside, never your bank. Then it's straight on to the next question.
Scoring
- Base × multiplier— a correct lock banks the question's base points (Easy 500, Medium 1000, Hard 1500) times your chosen 1×/2×/3×. A wrong lock scores zero — you only ever risk the upside.
- The finale— after the regular questions, set a double-or-nothing stake out of your bank before the final question is shown. Get it right and the stake is added doubled; get it wrong and it's subtracted.
- Top the board — highest bank after the finale wins the show. The comeback-friendly final round keeps everyone in it to the last lock.
Contestant tips
Save your 3× for the questions you'd stake your name on — a wrong 3× just means zero, but a right 3× rockets you up the board.
Behind going into the finale? Stake big. The double-or-nothing round is built for comebacks, so a bold wager can flip the standings.
Watch the difficulty badge: a Hard question at 3× is the single biggest swing on offer — 4500 points if you're certain.
Lock early when you know it, but don't panic-lock a guess — a 1× hedge keeps you in the game without bleeding your bank.
