Skill Check

About Skill Check

Skill Check is a free daily trivia card game for people who know their games. Its deck holds 1,594 illustrated cards from 86 gaming universes, from Pokémon and Minecraft to Dark Souls and Yu-Gi-Oh.

A new theme arrives at midnight UTC, and the day's run is the same for every player, with scores posted to a global leaderboard. You draw a hand of cartridge cards, drag one into the console, and answer the trivia questions that card generates; correct and fast answers score the most.

The run is split into stages with rising targets. Cards from the same franchise or theme unlock multipliers, so part of the game is choosing which cartridges to play together. Every card you answer correctly is added to a museum collection, and after the daily you get three practice replays.

The daily is free with ads and can be played as a guest; a free account (Google, Discord or email) saves scores and progress. A pay-what-you-want archive upgrade from £1 unlocks past themes, unlimited replays and removes ads. It suits gamers who enjoy trivia with a bit of deck strategy.

How to play Skill Check

1. Open Skill Check and start today's daily challenge.
2. Drag a cartridge card from your hand into the console.
3. Answer the trivia questions it generates, quickly and correctly.
4. Play cards from the same franchise together to unlock score multipliers.
5. Reach each stage's target score to move on, and go as far as you can.

Tips

• Hold cards from a franchise you know well until you can play them together for a multiplier.
• Speed counts, so read the question once and answer.
• Use the three practice replays to learn the day's theme, then aim higher on the leaderboard next time.
