Pantognostis

Pantognostis is a trivia game made from scratch in Greek. The questions are written in our language, not translated from elsewhere — from proverbs and mythology to geography and science. And you don’t play alone: ​​here you play against someone.

In ranked, you face an online opponent of a similar level, and each match counts towards your score. You win, you move up; you lose, you pay. Before the match starts, there is a tactic: you choose two categories that suit you and block one that you can’t stand, and your opponent does the same, so the match is partly decided before the first question is even asked. Ten questions, fifteen seconds each, no second chances.

You don’t have to be online at the same time. You each have twenty-four hours, and you get a notification as soon as an opponent is found and as soon as he or she answers. You put a match on the bus and finish it in the evening.

You play with your friends at the same time, each from their own mobile phone. You create a room, give the six-digit code to whoever you want and you start live — you see the moment the other person answers, before you even know if they found it. You choose their terms: which categories, what difficulty, five to twenty questions. At the end, an analytical table comes out, question by question, who got it right and who didn't. Friendly matches don't affect the ranked score, so you play freely — for company, for family at the table, or to resolve a disagreement on the spot.

The questions are divided into ten categories: Sports, Geography, Language & Proverbs, Greece, Science, History, Cinema & TV, Music, Mythology, Art & Culture. Each question is Easy, Medium or Hard and is worth ten, twenty or thirty points, so a difficult one that you knew could turn the entire match around. And if you want to warm up first, there is a single practice round, without a timer and without playing anything.

You start immediately as a guest, without an email and without a password. If you create an account later, you keep all your history. The account is only needed for the ranked, so that the score and ranking make sense.

You will also find a ranking with the best players, a history of every match you have played, notifications for every move of the opponent, and a dark theme made so that it is not tiring at night.

There are few ads and they are kept outside the game: never in a ranked match or in a game with friends. The data is stored on a server within the European Union, and you can delete your account through the application whenever you want.
