Online trivia game where you bet on your friends

Free multiplayer quiz game for parties and game night

Know It is a free online trivia game for 2 to 10 people in the same room. One person creates a game, everyone else joins on their own phone with a 6-character code or the invite link. Nothing to install, no account.

How the trivia game works

  1. A category is picked, and the game tells you what kind of answer to expect: “I'm thinking of a city.”
  2. Everyone secretly decides how many clues they need: one, two or three. Fewer clues, more points.
  3. Everyone bets on another player: will they get it right or not?
  4. Clues appear one at a time, hardest first. You answer right after the clue you chose.
  5. The reveal: the answer, who got it, and who called it.

A wrong answer costs nothing. A wrong bet costs a point. So the game is as much about reading your friends as knowing facts, and the quiet one at the table can win it. Full rules and scoring.

An example round

The category is People, and the game says: “I'm thinking of a person.” Ana feels brave and commits to one clue; Tom plays safe with all three. Ana bets that Tom will get it; Tom bets that Ana won't.

  1. Clue 1: He was an electrician at the Gdańsk shipyard. Ana answers “Lech Wałęsa”. Right: 3 points.
  2. Clue 2: He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983. Nobody answers yet.
  3. Clue 3: He led the Solidarity movement and became President of Poland in 1990. Tom gets it too: 1 point.

Ana's bet on Tom was right (+1) and Tom's bet against Ana was wrong (−1). The round ends Ana 4, Tom 0, and next time Tom will think twice before betting against Ana.
