An iKNOW-style quiz you can play online
The iKNOW board game has a brilliant idea at its heart: you bet on how little you need to know, and on what your friends know. Know It is a free online game built on that same idea, played on the phones you already have.

What carries over from iKNOW
- Three clues, hardest first. Each question comes with three clues. The first is hard, the last nearly gives it away.
- You choose how brave to be. Before any clue is shown, you commit to answering after one, two or three clues. Right after one clue scores 3 points, after two scores 2, after three scores 1.
- Betting on your friends. You bet on another player: will they get it right or not? +1 if you called it, −1 if you didn't.
- A wrong answer costs nothing. Just like the board game, the real risk is in the bets.
What's different
| iKNOW board game | Know It | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | A board and cards on the table | Everyone's own phone, in the browser |
| The reader | One player reads each round and sits it out | The app shows the clues, so everyone plays every round |
| Choosing | Players place tokens in turn | Everyone chooses at the same time, then it's revealed |
| Answers | Said out loud | Typed and hidden until the reveal, so nobody copies |
| Scoring | Chips, counted by hand | Automatic, with a podium at the end |
| Winning | First to 20 points | Most points after 10 rounds (or first to a target) |
| Questions | The cards in the box | 1,141 questions of our own, easier ones by default |
| Languages | One per edition | English, Lithuanian and Polish in the same game |
Playing with a group in 30 seconds
- One person opens knowitgame.com and taps Create a game.
- Everyone else opens the invite link, or types the 6-character code on the home page.
- Each player picks a name and an avatar and taps I'm ready.
- The host starts. That's it.
It's built for people sitting together, but it also works over a video call: share your screen or just talk while everyone plays on their phones.
Good for
- Game nights when the box is at someone else's house.
- Groups bigger than a board allows: up to 10 players.
- Mixed-language groups: each phone shows its own language, and an answer in English, Lithuanian or Polish counts either way.
