Wedgie Trivia isn't one game — it's four. Every mode uses the same AI-generated trivia engine underneath, but the way you compete changes completely. Here's how each one works, start to finish.
Collect all 8 Wedgies before anyone else does.
Wedgie is the flagship mode: a board built from a ring of 16 tiles, four spokes leading inward, and a hub at the center. Each tile belongs to one of eight categories — history, science, geography, entertainment, sports, art, literature, and technology — spread evenly so no category comes up more than the others.
Land on a Wedgie you already own and you'll get the option to steal instead. Pick a category any rival holds and a target player, then answer that category's question. Get it right and you take their Wedgie. Get it wrong and you lose the duplicate you were standing on — so it's a real gamble, not a free swing.
Get several questions right in a row and the difficulty ramps up with you — a streak of 3 bumps the tier up once, a streak of 5 bumps it again, capped at hard. Miss one and it resets to normal. It's on by default, so the game gets tougher exactly when you're on a roll.
Everyone answers the same question, at the same time, as fast as they can.
No board, no turns — Classic is a straight quiz. Every player sees the same AI-generated question simultaneously and races to answer. The faster you answer correctly, the more points you score; a wrong answer or running out of time scores zero. Play through a set number of rounds and whoever has the most points at the end wins.
It's the fastest mode to set up and the easiest to explain to new players — if your group just wants a quick trivia night without learning board rules, Classic is the one to pick.
Everyone can see your word except you.
Each round, one player gets a secret word or phrase they can't see — but everyone else can. That player asks yes-or-no questions to narrow it down while the timer runs, and the group answers honestly. Get it before time runs out and you score; the faster the guess, the more points.
Stuck? You can ask for a hint — the other players get notified so they know to help you out, and it's visible to everyone what round you're in and how much time is left. Play rotates through everyone in the lobby so each person gets a turn in the hot seat.
Everyone knows the secret word. Except one person.
This is the social deduction mode. Everyone in the lobby gets the same secret word — except one randomly chosen Imposter, who gets nothing and has to fake it. Going around the group, each player gives a one-word clue related to the secret word. The Imposter has to blend in without knowing what the word actually is, while everyone else tries to give clues specific enough to prove they know it, without being so obvious that the Imposter can just guess along.
After the clues, everyone votes on who they think the Imposter is. If the group catches them, the Imposter gets one last chance: guess the secret word correctly and they can still steal the win. Get caught and guess wrong, and the rest of the group takes it.
Any mode can be cast to a big screen.
Open play.wedgietrivia.com/tv on any screen with a browser — a smart TV, a laptop plugged into one, a tablet propped up — and enter your lobby code. The board, questions, and scores display there while everyone else answers privately on their own phones by scanning a QR code to join. It's free, and there's no limit on how many people can join a single lobby.
