You may know it as last man standing, elimination trivia or a knockout quiz. An ordinary quiz ends with a scoreboard. This one ends with a single person still standing while the rest of the room watches, which is a better finish for an all-hands than reading out points.
How to play Last One Standing
- Everyone starts with two hearts. They show next to each name in the player list, so the whole room can see who is close to going out.
- One question, four answers, everyone at once. Your answer locks the moment you tap it.
- Wrong, or too slow, costs a heart. Lose both and you are out. You keep watching every question until the end.
- The clock shrinks. 20 seconds per question to start, 15 after question five, 10 after question ten.
- The last player in wins. If everyone left goes out on the same question, they share the win. After 15 questions, every survivor shares it.
Scoring
- 200 points for each right answer while you are still in.
- Up to 200 more for answering fast.
- 1,000 points for being the last one standing.
Survival matters more than speed: the winner's bonus is worth five quick answers. Players who go out early still keep the points they earned, so the podium reflects the whole game and not only the final question.
Built for big rooms. With 300 people the first few questions clear the room fast, and the last ten minutes of a town hall become something everyone watches. With five people it is a tight duel. You can also add bots to try it alone.
When to use it
- To close an all-hands. Five minutes, a clear winner, and a name to read out.
- After a run of Speed Trivia. Same question style, but with stakes, so it works as the final.
- For a team social. Red vs Blue team mode adds up each side's points, so a side with more survivors usually wins.
