Gauntlet

Team up against the boss — every correct answer is a hit.

Gauntlet is QuizKeep's cooperative mode. Instead of racing each other, everyone in the room fights a towering boss together. Each correct answer lands a hit and chips away at its health bar.

Boss rounds hit twice as hard, so the finale is where games are won. Prefer a rivalry? Split the room into two squads and see which team out-damages the boss.

How to play Gauntlet

  1. Choose Gauntlet. Start a game on the board, pick Gauntlet and a pack. Turn on teams if you want two rival squads.
  2. Gather the party. Two to eight players join on their phones.
  3. Answer to attack. Every correct answer damages the boss. The faster the room answers right, the faster its health falls.
  4. Land the boss rounds. Boss rounds hit twice as hard — this is where the fight turns.
  5. Slay the beast. Bring its health to zero before the questions run out to win together.

Tips

  • Great with mixed ages: experts carry the hard questions while kids land the easy ones.
  • Use teams for big groups — parents against kids is a classic.
  • Pick a longer pack for a more epic fight.
