Points Multiplier

The Points Multiplier power-up boosts your score for the next question. Get it right and you earn double, triple, or even more points. It is the ultimate high-risk, high-reward play.

How It Works

During the Power-Up Selection phase, pick Points Multiplier.
A “Multiplier Active” badge appears on your screen showing your boost (e.g., “2x Points”).
Answer the next question — if you get it right, your final score for that question is multiplied by the configured value.
If you get it wrong, you still score zero. The multiplier only applies to correct answers!

The exact multiplier value (2x, 3x, etc.) is configured by the host, so it may vary between sessions.

Risk and Reward

This power-up is a gamble — and that is what makes it exciting:

Outcome	What Happens
Correct answer	Your points are multiplied (e.g., 500 pts becomes 1,000 pts at 2x)
Wrong answer	You score zero — the multiplier does not help
No answer (timeout)	You score zero — the multiplier does not help

[!TIP] Strategy tip: Use the Points Multiplier when you feel confident about the upcoming topic, or when you spot a question category you know well. It is also great for late-game comebacks — if you are behind, a big multiplied score can close the gap fast.

When to Use It

When you are confident in your knowledge of the current topic
During late-game rounds when you need a big push to climb the leaderboard
On high-base-score questions where the multiplier yields the biggest payoff
When you are feeling bold and want to make a statement
