Description
WhatQuiz is a digital trivia and knowledge assessment game developed by an independent studio, first released in 2021. The game presents a series of questions drawn from a broad database covering categories such as history, science, geography, popular culture, and logic. Each question is displayed as a text prompt, and the player is required to select the correct answer from a set of multiple-choice options. The game does not feature a narrative or character progression; its primary function is to test and expand factual knowledge. Questions are generated algorithmically, ensuring a different sequence in each session. The difficulty level adjusts based on the player’s performance, with correct answers leading to more challenging queries and incorrect answers resulting in simpler ones. WhatQuiz includes a scoring system that awards points for each correct answer, with bonus points for consecutive correct responses. The game supports single-player mode and a local multiplayer mode where two players compete on the same device by alternating turns. No online connectivity is required for standard play, though a leaderboard feature for comparing scores with other players is available through an optional account system. The visual interface is minimal, consisting of a question panel, four answer buttons, a score counter, and a timer bar for timed rounds.
Instructions
Gameplay and controls are structured around a turn-based question-and-answer loop. At the start of a session, the player selects a category or chooses a random mix. A question appears on the screen, accompanied by four answer options labeled A, B, C, and D. The player selects an answer by pressing the corresponding key on a keyboard (A, B, C, or D) or by tapping the on-screen button on a touchscreen device. In single-player mode, the player has a set amount of time, typically 15 seconds per question, to make a selection. If no selection is made before the timer expires, the question is marked as incorrect. After an answer is chosen, the game immediately displays whether the response was correct and shows the correct answer if the player was wrong. The score updates automatically. In local multiplayer mode, players take turns answering questions. The device screen displays whose turn it is. Each player’s score is tracked separately. The game ends after a predetermined number of questions, usually 10 or 20, or when a player reaches a target score. Controls are limited to selection inputs; there is no movement, inventory, or character interaction. The interface includes a pause button that halts the timer and allows the player to review current scores or exit the session. No additional peripherals are required.
