Single Player Mode
What is Single Player Mode?
Single player mode allows you to play the topic of your choice at your own pace. You have 10 seconds to select the correct answer from the time answer choices appear. You do not earn more points for how quickly you answer.
Throughout the game you will be randomly faced with ‘Brain Buster’ questions. When you receive a ‘Brain Buster’, you may choose to answer a question from 3 randomly selected topics. If you do not like the topics presented to you, you may use your gems to shuffle to a new topic.
You start each game off with 3 free lives; which means you can answer questions incorrectly without ending your game. You lose a life each time you answer a question incorrectly. When you correctly answer a Brain Buster question, you will get a new life. The maximum number of lives you can carry at any time is 3. Once you are out of lives your game ends, unless you choose to use your gems or watch an ad to pay for another life. Each game restarts with 3 lives; you cannot carry them over.
Your progress in single player mode is based on the number of correct answers you give. You earn 1 point for each correct answer. Try to beat your highest score.
Single player mode is available for offline play, meaning you can play without an Internet connection.
How does Brain Buster work in Single Player mode?
Throughout the game you will have to randomly answer ‘Brain Busters’ to continue
When the ‘Brain Buster’ screen appears, you are presented with 3 random topics. Select one topic to be asked a question from that category or use your gems/watch an ad to shuffle for new topics
Once a topic is selected, you will be presented with a corresponding question. Answer the question correctly and you will receive a free life (max of 3 lives at a time). Answer incorrectly and you lose a life
