Uphill share card: a pixel-art figure pushing a boulder up a stepped hill toward a flag, with the line How far up can you push it?

Uphill is a free daily trivia game with ten new questions a day. Every right answer pushes a pixel-art boulder one step up a hill, and where it stops is your score; near the top a wrong answer rolls it back.

About Uphill

Uphill turns a daily ten-question quiz into a climb. A little figure stands at the foot of a stepped hill with a boulder, and each question you get right pushes the boulder one step higher. Questions are multiple choice and range across general knowledge, from which of three inventions came first to a fact of the day.

The twist is the slope. On the lower steps a wrong answer only means you do not move, but near the top the hill gets steep and a miss rolls the boulder back a step, so the last questions carry the most weight. Wherever the boulder ends up is your score for the day, which you can copy and share as a block.

Everyone gets the same ten questions each day, and Sundays bring a special with extra questions and a bonus hill past the summit for those who reach the top. Past days are in an archive and can be played without touching your streak. There is no app and no sign-up.

It is a quick, calm quiz for players who like a single short set a day, with a nod to Sisyphus in its look.
