Accurate and Fair
Questions stick to facts that do not change, such as release years, creators, characters and studios, rather than sales charts that go out of date. Easy rounds suit younger players; hard ones ask who created Mario or which NES game first had the Konami Code. A short fact follows each answer.
The right answer stays on the server until you have answered, so nobody can peek, and both players always face the same question. Spotted a mistake? Use the feedback link in the footer and we will fix it.
