Quintalist is a daily trivia game about top-five lists. Each numbered puzzle asks a ranking question on any subject and shows ten choices; you select five and submit, and you have five tries to get all of the top five selected in the same try.
About Quintalist
Every Quintalist puzzle is a list question, such as the youngest Nobel laureates, with ten possible answers on screen. Five of them belong in the top five and five are decoys. You choose five and press Submit, and the game tells you how you did so you can adjust; to solve the puzzle you need all five correct answers selected together in a single try, within five tries.
If you are stuck, a light bulb gives up to three hints. The question changes every day and can be about any subject, from history and science to sport and pop culture. Puzzles are numbered and shared by everyone, earlier ones are in an Archived Games section, and a streak counts how many days in a row you have solved it, ending if you miss a day or fail.
It suits trivia fans who enjoy list questions and the deduction of narrowing ten choices down to five.
