About the games
What game types are available?| ! | Read more about our game types on "The games" page of the Info & Help section. |
| ! | You play against other members just like yourself. None of your opponents are computer generated players. |
| ! | The winner is always the player with the highest score. But ending first does not always mean that you are the sole winner of the pot. In order to make the games exciting and depending on the number of participants, the pot will be divided amongst the top players (obviously the top player gets the biggest share). The basic principle for deciding how the pot is divided is that the top 33% of the players will have a share. For example, in a game with three players only one will win the pot, but in a game of five the players ending first and second will have shares of the pot. |
| ! | The pot is the total amount that the participants have paid for a game, reduced by the administrative fee that royalquiz charges. |
| ! | The stakes varies in size but the typical amounts are £0.40, £0.80, £1.60, £4.00. It is up to you to choose the amount. |
| ! | Signing up and playing without stakes is free. I money or prize games we charge an administrative fee. In the game types Duel and Speed the fee is £0.1 for a £0.4-stake game, £0.2 for a £0.8-stake game, £0.3 for a £1.6-stake game and £0.4 for a £4.0-stake game. In the game type Tournament the fee is £0.8 or £1.6. |
| ! | You will always find the main categories Entertainment, Culture, Nature, World around, History, Technology, Sports and Miscellaneous. In addition you will from time to time find special categories and topics. Read more on the "Categories" page of the Info & Help section. |
| ! | How the categories are selected depends on the game type. I some games (e.g. Duel) you choose the category, in others (e.g. Speed) it is picked randomly. |
| ! | In order to make the games fair and attractive to all users, the questions are divided in three difficulty levels, easy, medium and hard. Our goal is to provide a fun and challenging game experience for all our members. |
| ! | All questions used in money and prize games are written by our professional writers exclusively for royalquiz. In the "Member quiz" section you will find quizzes created by our members. |
| ! | When you sign up for the first time you will have the status of a "trial player". Feel free to try all game types as much as you like but you will not be able to take part in games where you ca win money or prizes. When you have made your first deposit you will be upgraded to "money player", you can play for money and win prizes. Before signing up you will be able to try the games as a "guest player". A guest does not hold an account, will not be ranked and will have no game results and stats saved. All games involving money is played with questions different from the questions used in free games. In money games you will have access to our complete question bank. |
| ! | In order to create a fair game and best possible game experience all members are ranked according to an advanced ranking system. It is based on internationally accepted principles similar to the one used for chess. The purpose of the ranking is for the members to be able to compare with each other and to follow one's development as a player, "competing" with yourself. - You start with 1600 ranking points. - You win or loose ranking points depending on how well you perform in matches against others and whether your opponent is higher or lower ranked than you. - Money games affect the ranking more than games not involving money. - Activity is rewarded. A member who does not play will loose ranking points. - The system is designed to allow fast climbing but also to prevent extreme unjustified changes. It is rewarded to beat a better player but you do not risk too much loosing to a player with lower ranking. - The ranking is not affected by games where more than five people can participate. |
