The Ranking for „All Modes” considers the 5 different Modes that you can play for a Quiz. Naturally, a Player who plays the 2 Minutes Mode has double the time and can therefore score a better High Score than a Player who plays the 1 Minute Mode. It becomes more obvious when you consider the 3 Minutes Mode. To assure that the “All Modes” Ranking is fair, a weighted system is applied for its calculation. This means that your 1 Minute Mode High Score will count as 100% towards the weighted total sum, the 2 Minutes Mode High Score will count as 50% towards the weighted total sum, the 3 Minutes Mode will count as 33% towards the weighted total sum, the Stacker Mode will count as 100% towards the weighted total sum, and finally the Sudden Death Mode will count as 100% towards the weighted total sum.
For simplicity purposes, consider this example: Your High Score for a Quiz in the 1 Minute Mode is 1000, your High Score in the 2 Minutes Mode is 2500, and your High Score in the 3 Minutes Mode is 4500. You haven’t played the Stacker or Sudden Death Mode for this Quiz yet. To calculate your overall sum of the weighted High Scores for your “All Modes” Ranking, which determines the best Players for any given Quiz, the formula is as follows: (1000 x 100%) + (2500 x 50%) + (4500 x 33%). In other words: 1000 + 1250 + 1485, which gives you an “All Modes” score of 3735.
The reason for this weighted scoring is simply to not advantage or disadvantage any Player depending on the Quiz Modes they choose.
The 1 Minute Mode starts with 60 seconds on the timer, and once it reaches 0 the Quiz ends.
Each correct answer will add 100 points to your High Score, an incorrect one will not give you any additional points.
The bonus is based on a streak of correct answers. If you answer 2 questions in a row correctly, you will get a small bonus of 5. For the third correct answer in a row, you get an additional 10 points (so, now your total bonus count is 15), for the fourth correct answer in a row you get an additional 15 points (so, now your total bonus count is 30), and so on. If your streak is interrupted by an incorrect answer, the formerly gained total bonus remains, but your new bonus counter starts again at 5 once you have another streak of 2 correct answers. Sounds a bit complicated? Once you have played a few Quizzes it will seem straight forward, and it is meant to reward players who get multiple correct answers in a row.
Finally, the multiplier starts at 1.00 and increases by 0.02 for each correct answer. The multiplier is meant to reward players who are fast.
Players who are both fast and correct will get the highest Score, which is calculated at the end of the game as follows: (POINTS + BONUS) x MULTIPLIER.

Challenge Ranking shows a list of Players based on their skill and strength in the Challenge Mode (Challenges are Quizzes played in groups of 2 to 5 Players). Challenge Points are awarded depending on how well you perform.
All Points are awarded at the end of a Challenge. A Challenge ends when a group is full and all Players have played, or when it expires, whichever occurs first.
When you create or join a Challenge but do not play, you will lose 1 point. We do this so that Players don’t randomly create or join Challenges and then don’t play them (which would somewhat ruin the Challenge for the rest of the Players).
When you create or join and play a Challenge, you are awarded 1 point.
You get additional points when you beat Players in a Challenge. For every Player that you beat, you get 1 additional point. Thus, the most points you can get is 5, which would occur in a group of 5 Players. By winning that group, you have beaten 4 other Players (+4 points) and you will also receive 1 point for joining and playing that Challenge.
