    How to play

    How to play the Prize Ladder Quiz

    1. Pick a game. The Daily game has the same 15 questions for everyone today. Practice gives you a fresh set each time, and doesn’t repeat questions until you’ve seen them all.
    2. Answer the question. Each question has four answers and only one is right. Tap your answer, then tap Lock it in to confirm.
    3. Climb the ladder. Every right answer moves you up a rung, from 100 points at question 1 to 1,000,000 points at question 15. Questions 1 to 5 are easy, 6 to 10 are medium and 11 to 15 are hard.
    4. Use your lifelines. You get each of the three lifelines once per game, and you can use more than one on the same question.
    5. Know when to stop. A wrong answer drops you back to your last safe level (1,000 or 32,000 points), or to nothing before question 5. If you’re not sure, walk away and keep the points you’ve won.

    The three lifelines

    • Two picks. Use it, then lock in an answer. If it’s wrong, that answer is struck out and you get to choose again, with no points lost. If it’s right, you carry on as normal.
    • Crowd check. A crowd votes and you see the result as a bar chart. They are usually right on the easy questions and less sure on the hard ones.
    • Ask a friend. Your friend tells you what they think and how sure they are. They know a lot, but not everything.

    Tips

    How to win more on the quiz

    • Save your lifelines. The first five questions are meant to be easy. Lifelines are worth far more on questions 10 to 15.
    • Crowd check early, Two picks late. The crowd is most reliable on easier questions; Two picks always helps, however hard the question, because a wrong first answer doesn’t end your game.
    • Ask first, then use Two picks. Hear what your friend or the crowd thinks, then switch on Two picks as your safety net before you lock in.
    • Bank the safe level. Once you pass 32,000 points you can’t drop below it, so questions 11 and 12 are worth a careful guess. After that, a wrong answer costs much more.
    • Walk away when you really don’t know. At 500,000 points a wrong guess drops you to 32,000. A coin-flip guess there is a bad bet.
    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the Prize Ladder Quiz free?
    Yes. The Daily game, Practice games and friend challenges are all free, with no sign-up, no email and nothing to download. The points are fictional and have no cash value.
    Is this a general knowledge quiz?
    Yes. The questions cover general knowledge across science, history, geography, sport, TV, film and music, food, the arts, space, nature, technology, maths, words and life in the UK, and they get harder as you climb the prize ladder.
    Is this based on a TV show?
    No. It is an original 15-question multiple-choice quiz made by Altto, with its own points ladder, lifelines and music. It is not affiliated with any TV programme or its makers.
    How does the Prize Ladder Quiz work?
    Answer 15 multiple-choice questions in a row. Each has four answers and one is right. Every right answer moves you up the prize ladder, from 100 points to 1,000,000 points, and the questions get harder as you climb.
    What are the lifelines?
    Two picks gives you a second go: if your first answer is wrong it is struck out and you choose again. Crowd check shows how a crowd voted. Ask a friend tells you what your friend thinks. You can use each one once per game, and more than one on the same question.
    What are the safe levels?
    The safe levels are 1,000 points (question 5) and 32,000 points (question 10). Once you pass one, a wrong answer can only drop you back to it. Get a question wrong before question 5 and you leave with nothing.
    Can I walk away with my points?
    Yes. At any point before you lock in an answer, tap Walk away to leave with the points you have already won. The game then shows you the right answer.
    What is the prize ladder?
    100, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000, 16,000, 32,000, 64,000, 125,000, 250,000, 500,000 and 1,000,000 points.
    What is the Daily game?
    Fifteen questions that are the same for everyone each day, with new ones at midnight UK time. Only your first game counts, and it goes on today’s board under your nickname: the most points win, and the time breaks a tie. You can share your result afterwards.
    Will I get the same questions again?
    Not in Practice games until you have seen them all. The game remembers on your device which questions you have had, and picks new ones each time.
    How do I challenge a friend?
    After a Practice game, tap WhatsApp, Messages or Copy link under Challenge a friend. Your friend gets exactly the same 15 questions and sees whether they scored more than you.
    How hard are the questions?
    Questions 1 to 5 are easy, 6 to 10 are about pub quiz level and 11 to 15 need real general knowledge. They cover geography, history, science, nature, sport, the arts, food, words, maths, TV, film and music, UK life, space and technology.
    Does the quiz have music?
    Yes. Each question has its own tense background music with a ticking clock and a heartbeat, which gets faster and higher as you climb the ladder, plus a big moment when you lock in an answer and sounds for right and wrong answers. It is original music played with orchestral instruments. Tap the speaker button on the game to turn it off.
    Can I win real money?
    The points are fictional and have no cash value, and the quiz never asks for payment or bank details. Reaching the top level in a Practice game can earn an entry into a monthly prize draw for a £25 Amazon voucher: see the prize draw rules. Otherwise the only thing to win is a place on the daily board and bragging rights.
    Is this an official game from a TV programme?
    No. It is an independent, free quiz made by Altto. It isn’t linked to or endorsed by any TV programme.
    Can I play with a keyboard or a screen reader?
    Yes. Press A, B, C or D to pick an answer, then Enter to lock it in. Each question, its answers and the result are read out to screen readers, and animations are reduced if your device asks for less motion.
    Can I pause the game and come back later?
    Yes. Press Pause (or the P key) between answers and the clock stops and the question is hidden. A Practice game can be paused as often as you like. The Daily game allows two pauses, because it goes on a board. Close the page and the game is saved on your device: you can carry on a Practice game for 24 hours and a Daily game for 90 minutes. The time you were away is left out of your time.
    Is anything stored or uploaded?
    Your best score and the questions you have seen are saved only on your device, and so is a game in progress (so you can pause and come back); it is cleared when the game ends. Only a Daily game result is sent, with your nickname, so it can appear on today’s board.
