Welcome & game tips from Coach Lucy & Dr. Rob ▾

Welcome to Category Qwest! I'm Coach Lucy, and Dr. Rob is here too. Think of it like a TV trivia board, but every question makes you smarter and healthier — and pays out real coins. Whether you're playing on your own, battling as classroom teams, or going head-to-head with another school live, the rules are simple and the learning is real.

Tip 1 — Higher-value squares ($500) are harder but worth more. Mix it up!

Tip 2 — Every correct answer earns a 2× Bonus — there are no "throwaway" questions.

Tip 3 — Playing signed in (Academy Play) banks your coins and climbs your class & school up the leaderboard.

How to Play
