About Altitudle
A free daily trivia game. You have three minutes to type as many answers as you can, and every correct answer lifts a hot-air balloon higher, from the mountains, up through the clouds and out past the Moon, towards the Andromeda galaxy.
How to play
- Type your answers. There are no options to choose from. Spelling doesn't need to be perfect, and common alternatives are accepted: "UK" for United Kingdom, "four" or "4", a surname for a famous person.
- Questions start easy and get hard. A run has 40 questions across five levels, from Warm-up to Brutal, and harder questions lift you further.
- Speed and streaks multiply your lift. A quick answer is worth more than a slow one, and an unbroken streak of correct answers multiplies it further.
- Misses cost time. A wrong answer, a skip or a 15-second timeout costs 3 seconds on the clock and resets your streak. Every 5 correct answers in a row earns 3 seconds back.
- One climb a day. Everyone gets the same questions each day, so you can compare how high you got. A new set arrives at midnight in Sydney (Australia/Sydney time).
New here? The home page has a 1-minute practice run with a small fixed set of questions, so you can see how it works before you start today's climb. It doesn't count towards the leaderboard or your streak.
Scoring and the leaderboard
Your score is the altitude you reach. After each run you can see how you compare with everyone else who played that day, on a chart of where players finished, and the top ten climbers are listed on the leaderboard. You can add a short name for the leaderboard, or play as a guest. Answers and timing are checked on our server, not in your browser, so scores can be trusted.
Where the questions come from
Many of the questions come from the Open Trivia Database (opentdb.com), which is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0). We have filtered and edited those questions, reworded some, and added alternative accepted answers. The rest of the questions are written for Altitudle.
If you find a question that is wrong, unfair or impossible to answer by typing, please tell us, and we will fix or remove it.
Free to play
