PopQuiz is a daily trivia competition where speed matters. Each day a new question drops — answer correctly and quickly to climb the leaderboard and outscore your friends over the course of a season.
Sign in with your Apple ID for a fast, one-tap setup. You'll then pick a username and build your avatar before joining the game. You can also register with an email address if you prefer.
You don't have to, but we recommend it! Each question you answer earns points toward your season ranking. Missing a day means missing points, so the most consistent players tend to top the leaderboard.
When does the daily question appear?
A new question is published each day. Enable push notifications so you get an alert the moment it goes live and can answer before anyone else.
How long do I have to answer?
There is no hard cutoff timer forcing you to pick quickly, but your response time is recorded from the moment the question loads. Answering faster translates directly to a higher score when multiple players get the same question right.
Can I change my answer after submitting?
No — once you tap an answer it's locked in and your elapsed time is recorded. Take a moment to read the question carefully before tapping.
What happens after I answer?
You'll see an answer reveal screen showing whether you were correct along with a brief explanation. You can then view the leaderboard to see how your response time stacks up.
Scores are based on two things: correctness first, then speed. For each question, players are ranked by whether they answered correctly and how quickly they did so. You earn points equal to (total players − your rank) for that question — so the faster you answer correctly, the more points you collect.
Incorrect answers receive no points for that round, regardless of how fast you tapped. Accuracy always comes before speed.
The winner of each round can post a short brag — a celebratory message visible to all other players. Win a round and show everyone how it's done.
A season is a fixed window of daily questions. Points accumulate across every question in the season, and the player with the highest total at the end wins. Season length varies — keep an eye on the app for details.
The leaderboard shows all players ranked by their cumulative season score. It also displays the score change from the most recent question, so you can see who's climbing or falling after each round. Players who haven't yet answered the latest question show as "Pending."
At the end of each season you'll receive a personalised recap with your full stats: questions answered, accuracy percentage, average response speed, your fastest and slowest rounds, correctness streaks, and your final ranking. A short AI-generated narrative also captures the story of your season.
How do I change my username or avatar?
You can update your avatar at any time from the profile section inside the app. Username changes are not currently supported — choose wisely during onboarding!
How do I turn on or off push notifications?
Go to your device's Settings → Notifications → PopQuiz and toggle notifications on or off. We send one notification per day when the new question is live, plus occasional season-end recaps.
How do I delete my account?
Account deletion is available inside the app settings. This action is permanent and will remove all your scores, rankings, and profile data. If you have trouble finding it, email us at hello@ephemerallabs.com.
Can I use the same account on multiple devices?
Yes — signing in with the same Apple ID or email on another device will restore your account and season progress automatically.
Check your internet connection first — PopQuiz requires an active connection to fetch the daily question. If connectivity looks fine, close and reopen the app. If the problem persists, the daily question may not have been published yet; try again shortly or wait for a push notification.
Make sure notifications are enabled for PopQuiz in your device Settings. If they're on and you're still not receiving alerts, try toggling the permission off and on again, then reopen the app to re-register your device.
Scores update after all submissions for a question are processed. Leaderboard positions can shift throughout the day as more players answer. If your score still seems wrong after a few hours, reach out to us with your username and the affected question date.
Make sure you're signing in with the same method (Apple ID or email) you used originally. If you're certain you used the same login and your history is still missing, contact us — we can look up your account.
