Marathon
An endless run of questions that grows harder every 5 correct answers. You have the four classic lifelines, once each — and a single wrong answer ends the run.
An endless run. The questions get harder every five correct answers, you have the four lifelines once each, and you get 2 minutes for each question. One wrong answer or a timeout ends the run, and your score is the number of correct answers.
Ranked play and fairness
Marathon and Time Attack runs are always refereed by our server: the correct answer never reaches your device before you answer, and the clock is kept on the server. Anyone can play them; sign in with Google to put your score on the leaderboard.
