Play with your friends using gamepads and mobile devices

Askutron Quiz can be played locally with 8 players on one (preferably big) screen. It supports not only most gamepads with Xbox-compatible layouts, but also the original "Buzz!" Playstation 2/3 controllers (Windows/Mac). Don’t have 8 gamepads lying around? No problem, just scan the lobby QR code with your phone and play using the Askutron Buzzer app!

Your friends are not in the same room right now? Don’t worry, just invite them via Steam or use the online* match making to find other players! (*: Online mode is still experimental)

Asynchronous Online Multiplayer (Quizatars)

Play against your friends even when they are not online! The game remembers every given answer and allows you to play against your friends’ "Quizatars" who will answer exactly like they would.

Or Play Alone: You Against the Community

If you’d rather play alone we got you, too! Play against the latest "Communi-tron", an advanced AI that uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms and is trained on input vectors of all Askutron players (Or in layman’s terms: The bot picks the answers that on average have been picked most often by players). Find out if you are above the average!

Various Quiz Modes

Currently the game has five selectable quiz modes that can be mixed freely and will be extended in the future.

• Point Hunt – Speed is not important, just select the right answer within 25 seconds to get the points
• Blitz Quiz – The faster you answer, the more points you get
• Cut the Cake – Players are divided into two team and the first answers decides for the team while answers are only gradually revealed
• Viewpoints – Players first answer a opinion question and then have to guess the most popular answer
• Finale – In the finale players get a podium position based on their total score, then every wrong answer can cost you a rank!
