Trivia... With a Twist!
  • A unique next-generation fusion of game genres.
    • The heart of a trivia challenge.
    • The progression of an RPG.
    • The tactics of a card-based battle.
  • Build and customize your character, grow your wealth, and battle head-to-head.

Modes & Features

Welcome to the Arena. The game features four distinct modes of play to test your knowledge, guts, and strategy: Showdown, Gauntlet, Blitz, and T.K.O. Trivia Knock Out!

• Showdown

Your traditional mode of play. Showdown is where you will compete for your spot on the global leaderboard, view and share stats, build up your XP to level your avatar and gear, and compete in special events and tournaments.

  • Test your knowledge across various categories.
  • Select a difficulty and number of questions to begin.
  • A category is chosen randomly for each question.
  • Answer quickly! Your score is based on how much time is left on the clock.
  • Complete all questions to see your final score.
  • Reward Focus: Primary source of XP and Character/Gear leveling. Very low coin rewards.
💰 Gauntlet

The Gauntlet is the ultimate high-stakes, solo challenge. It’s where you bet your knowledge for massive Coin rewards. You will not earn significant XP here, but it is the place to gamble, show guts, steal glory, and amass the riches needed to buy or upgrade your Elite Gear.

  • Entry: Always 100 Coins to enter.
  • Format: Solo, double-or-nothing trivia. Each correct answer doubles your current Coin pot.
  • Risk/Reward: After every correct answer, you face an agonizing choice: Cash Out and claim your current pot, or Let It Ride for the chance to double your winnings on the next question.
  • Loss: Get any question wrong, and you forfeit your entire pot, including the initial 100 Coin entry.
  • Progressive Bonus: After every 4 consecutive correct answers, a static Coin bonus (the "tease") is offered to be added to your pot if you choose to continue to the next question. This bonus increases your risk/reward factor significantly.
  • XP Focus: Very low or no XP gain. Primary source of Coin rewards.
⚡ BrawlRoom Blitz

Blitz is a fast-paced, multi-person competitive mode, blending the speed of Showdown with the intensity of T.K.O.

  • Format: Compete against up to 10 players simultaneously in a single, continuous stream of questions.
  • Scoring: Time-based elimination. The slowest player to answer correctly is eliminated after every set interval of questions.
  • Goal: Be the last player standing to claim the highest rewards.
  • XP/Coin Focus: Moderate gains for both XP and Coins—a hybrid reward path.
🥊 T.K.O. Trivia Knock Out!

T.K.O. is the battleground where your built-up XP from Showdown, your strategic Gear purchased with Clue Coins, and your raw trivia skill come together for the ultimate head-to-head duel.

Core Gameplay: HP & Turns

  • Goal: Be the first player to reduce your opponent's Health Points (HP) to zero.
  • Health: Players start with 3 Base HP, plus any additional HP granted by equipped Gear.
  • The Swing (Offense): The active player answers a question. A correct answer is a Swing.
  • The Defense (Counter): The opponent answers the same question. A correct answer is a Defense, which nullifies the Swing.
  • The Hit (Damage): If a Swing is landed and the opponent fails the Defense, it is a Hit.
  • Damage: A standard Hit deals 1 damage. This is increased by Damage Gear bonuses.
  • The Miss: An incorrect answer by the Offensive player is a Miss, and no damage is dealt.
*Duels

Available to Combat Club members, Duels allow players to challenge other players from their friends list, and custom curate the match. There are no leaderboards, XP, or Clue Coins to be won in this mode. Except from your friends. This is about bragging rights, and taking your friends coins.

  • Choose the number of questions.
  • Select your difficulty.
  • Choose whether you want random categories or pick the one you want to challenge your friend to and send off the challenge.
  • You can play your turn immediately and when they play their turn, assuming they accept your terms, your scores will be compared and the winner will collect the pot.
