GENERAL Gameplay loop: Each round is a ten-question examination spanning all ten disciplines — History, Geography, Arts & Literature, Science, Nature, Society, Business & Economy, Entertainment, Sports, and Lifestyle. Questions ramp from the easiest rank to the hardest, so the round gets progressively tougher. Every answer is hidden inside the active letters on a keyboard: tap letter tiles from the pool to fill the blank slots and reconstruct the correct answer. Tap a filled slot to return that letter to the pool. Time Pressure: Each question opens with a 3-second reading window. Then the answer phase begins: the time you get depends on the length of the correct answer — 20 seconds plus one second for every letter. A short answer means a tight clock; a long one gives you more room. The faster you answer, the more points you earn. Scoring: A correct answer earns points based on difficulty and speed. Every point you earn in a full round flows directly into your XP Balance, pushing you toward the next level. Hints: Stuck during a question? The answer is on the tip of your tongue. If only you have a small nudge in the right direction. Scholarta gives you two types of hints to use during a quiz round. TYPES OF ROUNDS Academy rounds: The standard ranked round. Ten questions across all ten disciplines, drawn from your current tier's difficulty mix. Practice rounds: Choose a specific category to train in. Practice rounds use the same question format but are focused on a single category. Battle rounds: Multiplayer 10-question battles against up to 7 other players. Each player pays an XP entry cost based on their tier — this forms the XP pool. A quizmaster is randomly selected and chooses the battle tier. After 10 questions, players are ranked by score and the pool is distributed according to placement. Topic rounds: Within every topic sits a topic round. This round becomes available after you have seen all 10 Learn More-cards in this topic. In a topic round you answer 10 question on the topic you have just learned about. LEARNING JOURNEY Goal: The aim of the Learning Journey is to provide a structured learning experience. Reviewing knowledge structured into topics and then completing questions about it, allows you to retain the information much better. Learning loop: Tapping the topic tile will reveal 10 thumbnails. Clicking a thumbnail reveals the Learn More-card behind it. Read all 10 the cards to immerse yourself into the topic. When all 10 the cards have been visited, the topic round opens. Achieve 8/10 to unlock the next topic. Scholars who achieve 10/10 also receive a generous XP reward, which will help them progress through the tiers faster. MULTIPLAYER Overview: Multiplayer battles are a fun way to test your knowledge against other scholars. It is also a good way to have access to higher tiers than your current active tier level. It is also the fastest way to level up for the best players. Lobby system: Create or join a lobby with up to 8 player slots. Players of similar tiers are grouped together — no two players in the same lobby can be more than 6 tiers apart, ensuring balanced matches. Each player pays an XP entry cost based on their tier. Mark yourself ready when you're prepared. Battle & pool distribution: The battle consists of 10 questions with live rankings after each one. After the final question, players are ranked by total score and the XP pool is distributed: 1st place gets the largest share, descending through the ranks.
