About Knewbee

Knewbee takes its name from the rare reader who opens the terms before clicking I agree; its about page cites a study that found only one or two in a thousand software buyers even looked at the licence. The game turns that fine print into a quick daily quiz.

Each numbered puzzle features five real companies. For each question you see a clause rewritten as a plain-English question and pick which app said it, then the game shows the exact quote, checked word for word against the company's own published document. You can also record how the clause made you feel, and the round is meant to take about 60 seconds. The site also tells you how long it would take to read all five companies' full terms.

Beyond the quiz there is an Ask box where you can put a question to the day's apps and get back a real sentence from their policy, or be told that the policy does not say. A live feed shows what other players have been asking.

There are no accounts and no third-party ad trackers; your streak is kept per browser and counts each day you finish all five questions. It suits anyone curious about what they have actually signed up to, in small daily doses.

Tips

• Think about each company's business: ad-funded apps tend to have broader data clauses.
• Clauses about content licences often come from social and video platforms.
• Use the Ask box afterwards to look up anything that surprised you.
