VS How to Win at Fortuna’s Questions
Fortuna’s Questions is Madame Fortuna’s trivia — tap the answer plate you trust, fast, because wrong answers cost you time. It rewards knowing and deciding quickly.
Speed and accuracy both count
A wrong plate costs you time, so reckless speed backfires — but hesitating on a question you actually know loses too. The win is answering what you know instantly and not gambling on what you don’t.
Read the question, then the plates
- Read the full question before scanning answers so a trick wording doesn’t bait you.
- The obvious “trap” answer is often placed first — don’t grab it reflexively.
- Trust your first instinct on facts you know; second-guessing rarely improves a trivia answer.
Manage the clock
- Bank time by answering the ones you know instantly.
- On a genuine unknown, make a quick educated guess rather than stalling.
- Don’t let one hard question rattle your rhythm for the next ones.
First-instinct rule: on trivia you actually know, your first answer is right far more often than a changed one. Save real deliberation for genuine unknowns.
