RISK vs. REWARD

It's not just about knowing the answer—it's about knowing how much to trust yourself.

RISK vs. REWARD is a high-stakes trivia game where every answer becomes a confidence decision.

After seeing each question and its four possible answers, you'll use the RISK/REWARD Slider to decide how much confidence to place behind your answer. As you move the slider, the game instantly shows how your decision affects both your current bankroll and your remaining path toward the $1,000,000 top prize.

Two players with identical knowledge can finish with dramatically different results based entirely on how accurately they judge their own confidence.

How the Game Works

  2. Click "Play the Demo" to begin.
  3. Choose a trivia category.
  4. Read the question and its four possible answers.
  5. Move the RISK vs. REWARD Slider to match your confidence.

    As the slider moves, you'll instantly see:
    • Potential winnings if you're correct
    • Potential losses if you're wrong
    • Your lowest possible finish
