Everything you need to know about playing The Trivia Guru.
The Trivia Guru is a free daily trivia game where you answer a fresh set of questions every day across 11 categories, including Science, Geography, History, Movies and Sports. Each quiz is fast-paced: you get 20 seconds per question and earn points for both speed and accuracy. As you play you gain XP and level up, unlock badges for milestones like perfect scores and long streaks, and build a daily streak by playing every day. Your results feed global and country leaderboards, so you can see how you rank worldwide and against players at home. Guests can jump in instantly and answer up to 10 questions, while a free account unlocks the full 20-question quizzes and saves your stats, history and progress across devices.
Yes, The Trivia Guru is completely free. You can start playing instantly as a guest with no account, answering up to 10 questions per quiz. Creating a free account unlocks the full 20-question quizzes and saves your stats, streaks, badges and leaderboard rank.
You earn 100 points for every correct answer, plus a speed bonus of 10 points for each second left on the 20-second timer, so answering quickly is rewarded. On top of the base score, several bonuses stack up: each unused lifeline is worth 100 points (up to 500), finishing a quiz without using any lifelines adds 200 points, and answering every question correctly adds a 200-point perfect-accuracy bonus. Consecutive correct answers build a streak that applies a ×1.5 multiplier, so momentum matters. A strong 20-question run that combines fast answers, saved lifelines and perfect accuracy can total well over 2,500 points. Every point counts toward your XP, your level, and your position on the global and country leaderboards.
Lifelines are five one-time helpers that protect your streak and boost your score when a question is tough. The five lifelines are 50/50, which removes two wrong answers and leaves a coin flip; Time Freeze, which pauses the question timer so you can think; Hint, which reveals a helpful clue; Double Points, which doubles the question's value from 100 to 200 points; and Skip Question, which jumps to the next question with no penalty. Guests get a limited set, while signed-in members unlock all five. Each lifeline can be used once per quiz, and any you leave unused is worth 100 bonus points at the end. Finishing a full quiz without spending a single lifeline earns an extra 200-point efficiency bonus.
The Trivia Guru offers quizzes across 11 categories, with a brand-new set of questions published every day. Guests answer up to 10 questions per quiz, and members play the full 20-question version with all lifelines unlocked.
No account is required to start — guests can play up to 10 questions right away. A free account unlocks the full 20-question quizzes and all five lifelines, and saves your progress, stats, badges, XP and leaderboard position across devices.
New quizzes reset once every day, so there is a fresh set of questions each day. Playing every day builds your daily streak, which counts toward badges like Daily Warrior and Monthly Legend.
Leaderboards rank players by total score, both globally and within your home country. Strong daily and weekly performances climb the rankings, and reaching milestones like the Top 10 or your country's number-one spot unlocks special badges.
