Zwist 2.0

Our biggest update yet.

Every duel now opens with a face-off and ends with a crown. And 20 new friends just sat down at the table.

Face-off and crown

Every duel opens with a face-off. At the end, the winner’s mascot takes the crown.

Rivalries

Give the weaker player a few points before the duel begins.

Guest players

How a match works

The screen splits. You face off.

1

Sit across from each other

One phone flat on the table between you. The screen splits, and your rival’s half flips 180° to face them.

2

Same question, both sides

The exact same question appears on both halves at once. Tap the right answer before they do.

3

Fast wins, wrong costs

Right answer first: +1. Wrong answer: −1 and you’re locked out until the next one. No button-mashing your way to a win.

Three ways to play

Two players, a whole table, or just you.

VS

2 players · 1 phone

Duel

Phone flat between you, the screen splits, and the first right answer takes the point.

3 or 4 · a tablet

Table

Everyone around one screen, racing for the same answer. Family quiz night, sorted.

Daily Ten

Solo

Study

The Daily Ten, a quick round on your weak spots, your misses coming back, or survival until the first mistake.

What makes it good

Built to be played, not monetized.

No ads. Ever.

Not “fewer ads.” None. The game never stops for a 30-second video.

Plays offline

Beach, plane, road trip, dead-zone bar. Add it to your home screen and it just works.

Pick your own language

You read in Spanish, they read in German. Same match, same question. Made for mixed tables.

2,338 real questions

Twelve categories, hand-checked in four languages. No bot-written filler.

Rivalry that remembers

Saved profiles, head-to-head records, win streaks. Know exactly how many times you’ve crushed them.

Fair-play built in

Read-aloud mode, a head-start handicap, and a category ban-draft so the know-it-all can’t run the table.

Why it exists

It started on a beach.

Quizzing each other to pass the afternoon. My partner and I speak different native languages, so every trivia game we tried was quietly unfair to one of us. Zwist is the quiz game where that unfairness disappears: each player reads every question in their own language.

Henoch, who made Zwist

The honest part

You’ve played the other ones. You know.

The two-player-trivia corner of the app store is a graveyard of ad-spam, fake coins, and questions written by a bot. The most-downloaded one sits around 3.2 stars. We built Zwist because the game we wanted to play with our friends didn’t exist.
