Sports Quiz FAQ

How many questions are in a round?

Pick 10, 15, 20 or 25 questions before you start (or between rounds). Every round is drawn from the questions you have not answered yet on this device — the counter above the quiz shows how many are still new to you — so you keep meeting fresh questions until the whole bank is done, and then the cycle starts again.

What are the knowledge badges?

Every round ends with a badge for your score: Rookie (under 40%), Fan (40–59%), Expert (60–79%), Pundit (80–99%) and Legend (a perfect round). Your best badge for each round length is saved on this device, so you can climb the ladder over time.

Which sports are covered?

World football (soccer), cricket, basketball (NBA), American football (NFL), baseball (MLB), tennis, the Olympics, Formula 1 and Indian sports — hockey, kabaddi, badminton, wrestling, boxing, shooting, athletics and chess. The single-sport quizzes draw from the same banks.

Are the answers shown?

Yes — the right answer lights up after every question, and the complete question bank with answers is printed below the game so you can run it on paper or revise.

How many questions are in Sports Quiz?

Each round has 10 questions drawn from a larger bank, so replays give different questions.
