is a high-stakes trivia showdown where a solo contestant sets how much they can win—or lose—on every question, using a dynamic slider that compounds their bankroll and reshapes their final payout in real time.
How to Play
Select one of the sets of questions for your game by using the "Select Question Set" pulldown below.
Start by clicking the "Start Playing RISK vs. REWARD" button below to begin.
Select a "Question Category" for your question. The question and possible answers will appear. Read the question and possible answers carefully.
Click and drag the 'RISK vs. REWARD' slider to adjust your question's values and see your updated potential winnings. Aim high, but be careful — the greater the REWARD, the greater the RISK!
Use the arrow keys for finer slider control. (Up/Right increases values, Down/Left decreases values.)
Select your answer by clicking on the circle next to the answer you want to choose.
Select the "Lock in Answer" button to reveal the results.
You have only 120 seconds to use the slider to set your values, answer the question, and lock in your answer. If the timer expires, whatever you had selected is used.
After seeing the results, you can "Go to Next Question" or "Use the Do-Over" (available for the first six questions to try again).
At the end of the 12 questions, the final results will be displayed, showing your winnings. (Sorry, this is for fun only, there are no real prizes!)
