Topics

18 topics, 1,849 prompts and about 1.4 million accepted answers. Every prompt has a long list of right answers, each in a tier from Liftoff to Supernova.

A host can mix every topic together, pick a few, or play one theme. On your own, every topic is a themed mission of seven prompts, and Practice lets you search them all. The answer lists are never published: finding the rare ones is the game. Tap a topic below for more sample prompts.

How the prompts are made

Prompts are short and neutral, the way a person would ask them: “name a river in Asia”, “name a word that ends in -ness”. Most have several hundred right answers and the broad ones well over a thousand, so there's room for everyone in the room to be right and still be different. A few are closed sets, like the countries of a continent.

Every list is sorted into tiers by how often players give each answer, and the tiers keep adjusting to real play. Answers that aren't listed yet are checked by AI during a mission and, if they're right, added for everyone. The how to play page explains the tiers and the checking in full.

The 18+ pack

There is also an 18+ pack of adult humour, for adult hosts only. It is off unless a host turns it on, it is never used in class mode, solo modes or Open Orbit, and it isn't listed here.
