OutClocked

OutClocked is a daily general-knowledge quiz by Karol Gajda that went live on 4 October 2026. A new game goes up every morning at 6am Eastern Time, and every player gets the same seven questions. The days are numbered, so 30 October 2026 was Day 27.

Each question shows four possible answers under a large countdown. The first question gives you 60 seconds, the second 30, then 15, 7.5, 3.75, 1.88 and finally 0.94 seconds. A wrong answer does not end the game on its own. It crosses that choice out and halves the time left on the clock, so you can still find the right one if there is time. When the clock reaches zero you are done for the day, and how many questions you cleared is your score.

The early questions leave plenty of room to think. The last two have to be read and answered almost at once, which is why the game calls itself nearly impossible. The order of the four answers is shuffled, so you cannot rely on a position. Now and then a day carries a theme, such as a set of basketball questions for NBA opening day.

When you finish you can share your result and see how everyone did that day: a chart shows the share of players who got each question right on the first try. A daily leaderboard ranks scores, then fewest misses, then total time, and it shows only players who chose to be named.

You can play without an account. Signing in with an email link keeps a streak, lets you start or join a friend league and can send a reminder when the new game is out. Past days can be replayed from the archive, though replays do not count toward streaks, stats or the leaderboard.

It suits players who like a short quiz with some pressure in it. A whole day takes two minutes at most.
