Season 2 Is Coming

Season 2 is the biggest update to Geekly Quiz yet — a refreshed lineup of specialist subjects, brand-new question types, a much bigger Gauntlet, fresh ways to earn avatars, and a whole new daily game. Here's everything that's coming.

New specialist subjects

Five brand-new categories to specialise in: Movies, Music, Books, TV Shows, and Video Games. When Season 2 begins you'll pick your new specialty on the quiz page — it's saved to your account, so it sticks until you change it.

New question types

It's not just multiple choice anymore. Season 2 mixes in four ways to be tested:

  • Multiple choice — the classic four options.
  • True / False — quick-fire calls.
  • Match — pair up four items with their answers.
  • Type the answer — spell it out, Wordle-style, one letter box at a time.

Plus image questions — some questions now come with a picture to study.

Two ways to play

Every weekly quiz can be taken two ways. Standard is the full run — answer them all, chase speed and streak bonuses. Hardcore is sudden death: one wrong answer ends your run, softened by a single resurrection that forgives your first slip. Same questions, very different pressure — and both share one leaderboard.

A bigger Gauntlet

The Gauntlet grows into a home for the Season 1 question banks. Pick a Classic Gauntlet — Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, or Lord of the Rings — or take on the General Knowledge Gauntlet, each an endurance run through that subject's toughest questions with mini-bosses and a final boss.

And the Season 1 avatars make their return as rewards: get deep enough into a subject's gauntlet to unlock its avatars — 10 questions for common, 20 for rare, 30 for epic, and 40 for legendary.

A new weekly game

A brand-new weekly bonus game is joining the platform (name coming soon). Spin the wheel for points, buy a vowel, and guess the hidden phrase — a geek-flavoured quote, lyric, speech line, or title. One shared puzzle each week, one attempt, and its own all-time leaderboard. Completely separate from the weekly quiz — just for fun and bragging rights.

New ways to earn avatars

Beyond the gauntlet unlocks, Season 2 adds fresh reasons to keep coming back — avatars for the week's top overall scorer, the top scorer in each specialist subject, and loyalty rewards for players who complete quizzes regularly.

Season 2 launches 31st July 2026. Keep playing Season 1 to sharpen up before it kicks off.
