About Knockout Trivia
Knockout Trivia is a trivia game where a wrong answer is an event. Every question is four answers and fifteen seconds, and everyone answers every one. There are no points: being right keeps you safe, and being fast keeps you off the bottom of the ring.
When someone in the ring gets one wrong, there is a 20-second duel at a game drawn at random from the arcade and puzzle games on the site. With nobody on the bench to answer for it, the bottom two of the ring fight and the loser goes to the bench. The bench keeps answering, and when the ring is wrong the fastest right answer on the bench fights the bottom of the ring instead: win that and you take their place.
Three right answers in a row earn a dodge, which only you can see. Lose a duel holding one and you slip the punch, and the other boxer goes down instead. After the last question the final bell rings, redemption stops, and every question ends in a duel until one boxer is left. A boxer alone in the ring at the bell still has to beat the fastest right answer on the bench in one title fight.
How to play
- Everyone answers every question: four answers, 15 seconds, one tap. Right and fast keeps you off the bottom of the ring.
- A wrong answer in the ring means a 20-second duel at a game drawn at random. With nobody on the bench to answer for it, the bottom two of the ring fight and the loser sits down.
- On the bench you keep answering. Be right while the ring is wrong and the fastest of the bench fights the bottom of the ring: win and you take their place.
- Three right answers in a row earn a dodge. Lose a duel holding one and the other boxer goes down instead.
- Before every duel the screen says why each boxer is in it: what they answered, how fast, and what put them in the ring.
- After the last question the final bell rings: every question ends in a duel until one boxer is left. Alone in the ring at the bell? One title fight against the fastest right answer on the bench.
