PICK YOUR NEXT ROUND
From Beginner to Legendary
Start anywhere. Every set has four choices per question. Replays shuffle the questions and answer positions; an unfinished round keeps its order when you return.
Beginner
Start with familiar places, everyday science, widely known stories and the foundations of world history. Take your time, learn from each explanation and find a comfortable rhythm.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 1 →Easy
Build on the basics with recognisable events, geographical landmarks, familiar cultural works and everyday inventions. The choices become closer, so read the whole question.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 2 →Casual
A broad pub-quiz round for the curious. Expect fewer obvious clues and more connections between the facts you already know. Each set keeps the same balanced subject mix.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 3 →Intermediate

Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 4 →Knowledgeable
Test the breadth of your knowledge across all eight subject areas. Specific names, works and discoveries matter more here. Use the subject breakdown to choose what to revisit.

Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 9 →Elite
A particularly demanding mixed round. Expect less familiar names, terminology and connections. The 45-answer pass mark is intentionally ambitious, and unlimited practice remains free.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 10 →Genius
Take on obscure knowledge drawn from a wide range of fields. Genius is a game-level name, not an intelligence assessment. Use explanations and source links to build your next attempt.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 11 →Legendary
The final tier brings together the most specialist material in this collection. Legendary is a trivia achievement rather than a measure of ability. Aim for 45 correct answers and keep learning from the rest.
Five sets · 50 questions each
Explore level 12 →A balanced mix in every set
- 7 History

The subject mix stays the same throughout the challenge. Difficulty labels are editorial estimates, not measured ability scores. “Genius” and “Legendary” are game titles.
Keep what you learn
A pass requires 45 correct answers out of 50: 90%. A score of 44 needs one more correct answer. Pass all five sets in a level to earn its completion badge, or all 60 sets for General Knowledge Legend.
