Risk your pearls before you see the trivia question.

1. Join a 2–4 player game online or with friends. Everyone starts with 10 pearls.
2. See the category and secretly wager 0–3 pearls in 12 seconds. Round five is the Vault Round, with a 5-pearl maximum. You can never wager more than you have. No wager defaults to zero.
3. Once the question appears, you have 20 seconds. A correct answer earns your wager; a miss or timeout costs it. Most pearls after five rounds wins. Tied leaders face a closest-number question; equal closest guesses draw.

Example: Wager 3 pearls from a balance of 10. A correct answer takes you to 13; a wrong answer takes you to 7.

Use lowercase answers, up to two words, with no profanity.
