How TipIQ works

The explanation and the takeaway matter just as much as the score. That is the whole design.

  1. 01

    Answer five questions

    One at a time, no timer, no penalty for thinking. Practical knowledge rather than obscure trivia.

  2. 02

    Read the explanation

    You immediately see whether you were right, what the correct answer is, and why it is true.

  3. 03

    Keep the takeaway

    Each question ends with one practical TipIQ takeaway - the bit you will still remember next week.

  4. 04

    Come back tomorrow

    A fresh five every day. Your streak, totals and strongest categories build up as you play - and every five days running banks a freeze that covers a missed day.

What you will be asked about

The mix makes each round a general knowledge quiz with a practical bias.

  • Money
  • Technology
  • Health
  • Travel
  • History
  • Science
  • Everyday Life

Frequently asked questions

Is TipIQ free?
Yes. The daily five-question quiz is completely free to play, with no ads interrupting a round.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play as a guest and your streak is kept on the device you play on. Creating a free account simply keeps your streak, scores and category strengths in sync across every device.
How long does a round take?
About five minutes. It is five questions a day, answered one at a time, with no timer and no penalty for thinking.
What kind of questions will I get?
Practical, useful knowledge across Money, Technology, Health, Travel, History, Science and Everyday Life - the sort of thing worth remembering, rather than obscure trivia.
What happens if I miss a day?
Every five days you play in a row banks a streak freeze, up to three at once. A freeze is spent automatically to cover a missed day, so one busy evening does not wipe out weeks of habit. Miss more days than you have freezes for and the streak does reset - a fresh five is waiting whenever you come back.
How is my score compared with other players?
Once enough people have finished a given day's round, your results screen shows roughly how your score compares - an honest comparison against real players, not a made-up number.
