The trivia is presented in fun and creative ways from traditional questions to unique and themed formats such as ‘True or False’, ‘I Spy’, ‘Word Jam’ and more. At launch, players will progress through 17 categories and 11 chapters, and earn rewards to unlock new topics, cards, new modes, and collectible stamps.

• Hanx101 Mode – Take a journey to answer 101 questions, each having a selection of three answers to choose from before time’s up. Players will receive a score, including bonus points for correct answer streaks, along with trophies for completing each node on the map, and work toward a final score upon reaching the end.
• Hanx Daily Trivia – Available for play once each day, players have 60 seconds to answer as many questions correctly as they can. The more correct answers the more stars are earned, with additional prizes awarded for each consecutive day played.
• 1v1 – Matches a player against another online player or an AI opponent. Opponents will compete to answer a series of trivia questions, earning scores for correct answers and answering first. After three rounds, the player with the highest score will be awarded the victory and earn rewards.
