How to Play Live 5
Live 5 is a fast trivia game with one simple goal: answer 5 questions correctly in a row. Each correct answer brings you one step closer to earning a "5." But get one wrong and your streak resets to zero. The pressure is on every single question!
The Rules
- You get 10 seconds to answer each question. If the timer runs out, it counts as wrong.
- Pick one answer from four choices.
- Build a streak of 5 correct answers in a row to earn a "5."
- One wrong answer (or timeout) resets your streak back to zero.
- Keep going as long as you want - there is no limit!
How Streaks and 5's Work
| Streak | What Happens | Reward |
|---|
| 1-2 correct | Building up | Nothing yet - keep going! |
| 3-4 correct | On fire! 🔥 | You are on a roll |
| 5 correct in a row | LIVE 5! | +1 to your "5's earned" counter |
| 10 correct in a row | Double LIVE 5! | +2 to your "5's earned" counter |
| Wrong answer | Streak reset | Try to beat your longest run |

Tips to Get a High Score
- Stay calm under the clock. Ten seconds feels short, but it is usually enough. Read the whole question before looking at the answers.
- Use process of elimination. Even if you are unsure, you can often rule out two wrong answers immediately.
- Watch the timer bar. When it turns red, you have 3 seconds or less. Make your pick!
- Play in streaks, not marathons. It is better to stay focused for 20 questions and build a real streak than to rush through 100 questions carelessly.
