How high can your knowledge take you? Higherly is a higher-or-lower trivia game that challenges you to compare the world around you. Pick the card you think has the higher value, build your streak, earn points, and keep climbing. Sounds easy? The longer your streak gets, the tougher the challenge becomes. COMPARE EVERYTHING Test your knowledge across countries, cities, animals, buildings with more categories on the way. Compare everything from population, area and top speed to height, lifespan, net worth, revenue and beyond. Every category brings a different challenge and a new way to test what you know. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Choose from multiple difficulty levels and put your knowledge to the test. More cards mean more possibilities, and a harder decision. BUILD YOUR STREAK Every correct answer keeps your run alive and pushes your score higher. Make the wrong choice and your run is over. How long can you keep climbing? NEED SOME HELP? Use Hint when you're stuck or Pass when you don't want to risk your streak. Use them wisely, they're limited. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Turn your knowledge into a high score and compete for your place on the leaderboard. Think you know which is bigger, faster, taller, heavier, or more populated? Guess higher. Climb higher. TERMS OF USE Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Higherly Terms of Use: https://higherly.canerates.com/terms-of-use
