How BlitzFame scoring works
Every day at midnight Eastern time (ET) a new Blitz drops: 8 celebrity and pop culture questions, the same set for everyone. There's no clock per question — one stopwatch runs for the whole Blitz, and it keeps running in real time if you switch apps, lock your phone, go back to the menu or reload. Score a perfect 1,000 on a question with sound on and you'll hear a sport-specific callout. Nail the answers, then go fast for the bonus.
Your score = accuracy (up to 8 × 1,000) + time bonus (up to 2,000). Perfect game: 10,000.
The question types
Each Blitz mixes 8 questions drawn from 3 question types, so each type appears more than once.
🌍 Globe tap
Spin the globe and drop a pin where a star was born, or where a movie or show is set or filmed.
Scoring: within 50 km = 1,000. After that the score fades smoothly with distance: about 740 at 500 km, 530 at 1,000 km, 270 at 2,000 km and 140 at 3,000 km.
🔢 Number guess
Type a number: a year, a number of seasons, Oscars or chart hits.
Scoring: closeness counts. Off by 10% = 800, off by 25% = 500, off by half or more = 0. For years, each year off costs 40 (5 years off = 800; 25+ = 0).
🔘 Multiple choice
Four options, one right answer.
Scoring: all-or-nothing, 1,000 or 0.
The stopwatch bonus
The stopwatch starts when you press Play and stops after your last answer. It keeps running while answers and fun facts are shown, unless you tap ⏸ Pause on an answer screen. Finish in under a minute for the full bonus; after that it eases down to nothing at three minutes.
| Total time | Time bonus |
|---|---|
| 1:00 or less | 2,000 |
| 1:30 | 1,710 |
| 2:00 | 1,000 |
| 2:30 | 290 |
| 3:00 or more | 0 |
Accuracy still matters most: a slow perfect game (8,000) beats a lightning-fast sloppy one.
Your share grid
| 🟩 | 800–1,000 points: bang on or very close |
| 🟨 | 400–799 points: in the neighbourhood |
| 🟥 | under 400 points: one to forget |
