About this quiz

This trick questions quiz climbs from easy warm-up questions to real tests for experts. Expect questions on wordplay, logic, counting puzzles and questions with a catch.

Play it alone to see how high you get, or use it as a group game. 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

Each question looks like it needs a hard answer, but careful reading gives a clear one. Early levels use classic tricks. Higher levels use subtler wording and arithmetic that is easy to rush.

Every question has exactly one logical answer, and the explanation shows how the trick works.

How to play

Read a question aloud and let everyone commit to an answer before you reveal it.

Frequently asked questions
