How to Play Knowigo
Knowigo is a real-time guessing game you play with friends. There's no question bank — the questions and the answers all come from you. A full round is the four steps below and takes about 10-15 minutes.

A reckoning after every question
The correct answer, who fell for what, and the live scoreboard are revealed. At the end, one of you is crowned.
How scoring works
Every correct guess is 50 points. In Bluff mode you also earn 50 points for each player who falls for the fake answer you made up. In Multiplier mode you start with 200 points and answer each question with Play it safe (+50 correct, 0 wrong), Sure (2x, ±100) or Dead sure (3x, ±150) — your points never go below zero. After every question a screen shows who played what and the live standings.
What you need

- A phone, tablet or computer each, and an internet connection.
- No sign-up required — type a name and play as a guest.
