Trivia Showdown

Multiple-choice elimination trivia — answer or you're out

Category: Trivia · Players: free-for-all · Status: Stable

Multiple-choice elimination trivia. Each round shows a question and four answers; chat votes A–D. On the reveal, everyone who picked wrong — or didn’t vote at all — is eliminated. The last player standing wins. It also runs as a points game where nobody’s out and answering fast pays off.

Gameplay

1
Join

Type !join, or just vote — your first A/B/C/D vote joins you automatically.

2
Vote A–D

Type a letter (a/b/c/d) or a number (14). One vote per round; your first choice locks in.

3
Survive the reveal

The answer flips. Wrong answers and silent players drop out; the last one standing wins.

How a round resolves

Every round is one question, four answers, one correct — and a reveal that thins the room.

Four options A-D with the correct one highlighted and wrong ones marked eliminated
Vote A–D; a wrong answer or no answer drops you (elimination mode)
  • Vote or be out. In elimination mode, a wrong answer or no answer drops you — staying silent is as fatal as guessing wrong.
  • Exactly one is right. No ties to reason about; the roster locks on the first reveal, and late arrivals wait for the next game.
  • Points mode is friendlier. Nobody’s eliminated; every correct vote scores, and answering early earns a decaying speed bonus (up to +3).

Lifeline gift. Off until the host picks a gift. In elimination mode it banks immunity (see Gifts); in points mode the same gift is worth +1 point instead.

Gifts

Trivia Showdown uses the same stadium-immunity lifeline as Higher or Lower. It’s off unless the host configures it.

A shield meter filling to three, then spending one shield to survive an elimination
Each gift banks a shield (max 3); one is spent to survive a reveal that would eliminate you
  • Sending the configured gift banks +1 immunity, up to 3.
  • When a reveal would eliminate you — wrong or silent — one immunity is spent instead and you survive, but you earn no streak point.
  • In points mode there’s no elimination, so the same gift simply awards +1 point (capped so it can’t be farmed).

Scoring

Elimination narrows the room to the last player standing; points crowns the highest total
  • Elimination: the last survivor (or survivors, if tied) wins; the game also ends when the question pool runs out.
  • Points: the highest total wins, with early correct answers boosted by the speed bonus.
  • Correct answers feed the per-streamer win tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
