About this quiz
This space trivia quiz climbs from easy warm-up questions to real brain-benders. You will meet questions about the planets and moons, the history of spaceflight from Sputnik to the space station, and stars, galaxies, telescopes and black holes.
Play it alone to see how high you get, or use it as a game for a family night. Each level has several questions, a wrong answer sends you back to your last camp, and two jokers help when you are stuck. Questions come in a different order every time.
What the questions cover
The quiz has three parts: our own solar system, the people and machines that explored it, and the wider universe beyond. Early levels cover the planets, the Moon and famous astronauts. Higher levels move into orbital facts, mission details and astronomy.
The questions rely on well-established facts, so answers do not change with the latest measurements.
Playing with kids
Younger players can start with Levels 1 to 3 and read the answers aloud together. The fact after each answer is short enough to turn into a conversation about the night sky.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know astronomy?
No. The early levels are general knowledge. The harder levels are for readers of astronomy books.
Is the quiz good for kids and family groups?
Yes. The early levels are easy and the questions are written to be family friendly. The upper levels are harder and suit adults.
How does the quiz work?
You answer questions across ten levels. Every correct answer takes you one level higher, and the questions get harder as you climb.
What are the camps for?
Camp 1 (Level 4) and Camp 2 (Level 7) are your safety nets. If you answer wrong after reaching a camp, you fall back to that camp instead of losing everything.
What do the jokers do?
50:50 removes two wrong answers. Swap question gives you a new question at the same level. Each joker can be used once per game.
Does it cost anything?
No. You do not need an account or a sign-up.
