4. Game Rules

4.1 Objective
Starting your World Quiz Race in New York with WQ$3000 (World Quiz Race Dollars) in your wallet, you'll need to travel around the globe in real-time answering questions on each city you visit. Get the question right and choose your next destination. Get the question wrong and incur a time and monetary penalty before you can continue.

4.2 Goal
Arrive back in New York in the shortest amount of time, with the most amount of money remaining, without running out of money.

4.3 Specific Rules
  • Players must be registered and have confirmed their email address
  • Players have unlimited games, but can only play one game at a time per email address/account
  • Each travel leg in the game is in an easterly direction of less than 4000 miles
  • Each player begins the game with WQ$3000 (World Quiz Race Dollars)
  • Travel times and costs are approximate to the real-world travel times and costs for the chosen mode of transport between the chosen cities
  • Players incurring a penalty are subject to a time and monetary penalty. The time penalty is 24-hours and the monetary penalty equals the average cost of one night for a hotel room in that city
  • The game is over if the player runs out of money or circumnavigates the globe back to New York
