FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know before you kick off.

Is BallKnowledge completely free?

Yes. Every game mode — quizzes, daily challenges and multiplayer — is free to play. No paywalls or subscriptions. Lives regenerate automatically over time, and you earn coins daily to buy extras if you run out.

How do lives (hearts) work?

You start with up to 3 hearts. Wrong answers and timeouts each cost one heart. Hearts regenerate automatically — one every 30 minutes. If you run out, spend coins to buy one back instantly, or wait.

What is the daily streak and why does it matter?

Your streak increases by 1 each day you complete at least one daily challenge. Maintaining a streak earns bonus coins daily. Breaking your streak resets it to zero.

How is my quiz score calculated?

Each correct answer earns points scaled by difficulty: Easy (5 pts), Medium (10 pts), Hard (15 pts). A speed bonus rewards quick answers, and a consecutive-correct streak multiplies your score.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. BallKnowledge is fully mobile-responsive and works in any browser on iOS or Android. It's also available as a native Android app for a smoother experience.

What are the rank tiers?

There are 7 rank tiers: Ball Boy, Youth Team, Squad Player, First Team, Baller, World Class and Ballon d'Or. Your total score across all modes determines your tier.

What are the multiplayer modes?

Two modes. 1v1 Friendly: create a room, share the code, play 4 turn-based rounds. Football Blitz: a real-time showdown where both players answer simultaneously, with speed bonuses.

Can I add my own quiz questions?

Yes. Once you reach 500 points, a "Propose a Question" button unlocks in the Community tab. Admin reviews every submission.
