1. Initiate the two-player mode by pressing [Player 1/2] on the keyboard after the first question appears. 

    The "Two-Player-sign-in screen" appears.

2. Player 1: Type in your name and press [Enter].

3. Player 2: Type in your name and press [Enter].

The two-player mode screen disappears, and the names are saved.

After the player sign-in screen has been filled in, the game proceeds similar to the one-player mode except the 

players must compete to answer the questions. 

The first player to hit his/her button (Player 1: left cursor button, Player 2: right cursor button) is awarded an 

attempt to answer the question. 

1. If the first player answers the question correctly, points are awarded to the first player, and the game continues.

    If the first player answers the question incorrectly, the second player is invited to answer the question.

2. If the second player is correct, points are awarded to the second player, and the game continues.

3. If the second player is incorrect, the correct answer is revealed, and the game continues. 

Two-Player Game Rules

Each attempt to answer a question is timed (1 minute for levels 1-5, 30 seconds for level 6).

Each player is given one attempt to answer a given question. Ten points are given for the first correct answer and 

zero points for an incorrect answer. In the second attempt, 6 points are awarded. No hints are available in the 

two-player mode. Game questions come in groups of ten. After a group of ten questions, the summary screen 

shows both players’ scores and announces the winner.
