Game Select

Select a Game

Next, select the game you’d like to play by scrolling down to the day you want to play and double clicking.

Right Again! Trivia - Sports offers a new game each day. If you miss a day, you have 7 days to go back and play an older game. AARP Members have 14 days of access.

Play a Game Multiple Times & Scoring

You can also play a specific game multiple times. However, only the score of your first game will count on the Leaderboard.

Exiting a Game Early

You can exit a game and come back to it. The Game Select feature will display ‘In Progress’ for any games that are partially complete.

Game Basics

Game Rounds

Right Again! Trivia - Sports features four rounds of four questions each. Each round is more difficult than the last and award more game points.

Brain Q and Final Q

You’ll also see a Brain Q, brought to you by AARP’s Staying Sharp, which focuses on brain health (you can’t know too much about that!) and the Final Q, which includes an image that is revealed throughout the game with each correct answer. Everyone loves a good puzzle! 

Early Final Q

You'll also be given the option to answer the Final Q early for extra game points, and AARP Rewards participants can redeem Rewards points for special PowerUps to use in the Brain Q and Final Q. Use the Speedster PowerUp and get 2x total points - up to 1,600 points for a correct answer!

Get the question right for extra game points:

·       400 extra points + 400 regular Final Q points after Round 2 = 800 points

        o   Or get 1,600 total points if you use the Speedster PowerUp!

·       200 extra points + 400 regular Final Q points after Round 3 = 600 total points

        o   Or get 1,200 total points if you use the Speedster PowerUp!

After you attempt the question, you'll continue with the game from your previous spot. If you answer the Early Final Q incorrectly, don't worry. You'll still have a chance to answer the Final Q at the end of the game for the regular value of 400 points. 

Start with Box Highlighted in Gold

Want to get started? Click the box highlighted in gold to begin with Round 1, Question 1! Once you begin, the game will take you sequentially from left to right, without skipping around.

30 Seconds to Answer the Question

Once you see the multiple-choice answers, you have 30 seconds to answer a question. The countdown clock at the top of the header always lets you know how much time you have left!

Instant Replay

Once per game, one of the questions will be randomly swapped out for a question from the one of the previous two weeks’ games. This is the Instant Replay — if you’ve been playing Right Again! Trivia Sports every day, you might even remember the answer. Get it right for double the points!

Singles, Doubles, Triples, Home Runs, and Grand Slams

You have more opportunities to get game points, only in Right Again! Trivia Sports! These special moments will trigger if you get all four questions correct in one round:

·       Single: 100 extra points for getting all Round 1 questions correct

·       Double: 200 extra points for getting all Round 2 questions correct

·       Triple: 300 extra points for getting all Round 3 questions correct

·       Home Run: 400 extra points for getting all Round 4 questions correct

·       Grand Slam: 500 additional points for getting all questions in Rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 correct

When you get one of these bonuses, watch as the stardust travels from the gameboard up to your score indicator, and listen for the crack of the bat and the cheering crowd!

PowerUps

PowerUps in Rounds 1-4

Once a question is displayed in Rounds 1-4, you’ll see your available PowerUps fully lit up. They include:

·         3X Game Points PowerUp for AARP Members - don’t forget to log in!

·       If you’re not logged in – or signed up – click the locked icon and you’ll be able to input your username and password. Once you arrive back at the game, remember to quickly select the PowerUp once more to activate it before the multiple choice answers appear and you can’t go back to the question. 

·         Two Tries PowerUp that provides a second chance to get it right

·         SweetSpot PowerUp that gives you +200 game points if you get the question right

 

 

right again trivia sports powerups

Selecting a PowerUp in Rounds 1-4

You can only select your PowerUp on the question page. So decide after you’ve read the question if you’d like to activate one to use on the current question. If the PowerUp is shaded out, it is already used and not active/available.

PowerUps Can be Used Only Once Per Game

Once you use a PowerUp, you won’t be able to use it again for the rest of the game, so be sure to choose carefully to maximize your score!

(Quick tip: the 3x Game Points PowerUp is strongest during Round 4, where questions are worth 400 points each. Maximize your score by holding onto the PowerUp until the end if you can!)

PowerUps for AARP Rewards Participants

During the Brain Q and Final Q, AARP Rewards participants will have the opportunity to redeem their AARP Rewards Points for exclusive, additional PowerUps. (These are separate from the PowerUps available in Rounds 1-4.) They include:

·       Two Tries PowerUp that provides a second chance to get it right (Cost: 1,000 AARP Rewards points)

·       SweetSpot PowerUp that gives you +200 game points for getting the question right (Cost: 1,200 AARP Rewards points)

·       The Speedster PowerUp that gives you 2X game points for a correct answer but with 10 less seconds on the clock (Cost: 1,500 AARP Rewards points)

Video Watch Bonus

AARP Members can watch a short, educational video to earn 300 extra game points. (There are no ads in these videos.) You can watch the Video Watch Bonus at either the end of Round 1 or Round 4.  There is a limit of one Video Watch Bonus per game. 

Early Final Q

What is the Early Final Q?

The Early Final Q allows you to get extra game points by answering the Final Q way before the end of the game.

How does it work?

At the end of Round 2 and Round 3, you’ll be given the option to answer the Final Q. If you think you know the image behind the game board, you might be able to answer it correctly. Get the question right for extra game points!

Can I use PowerUps during the Early Final Q?

Yes. Just like the normal Final Q, AARP Rewards participants can redeem Rewards points for special PowerUps. Use the Speedster PowerUp and get 2x total points – up to 1,200 points for a correct answer!

How many extra game points do I get?

·       400 extra points + 400 regular Final Q points after Round 2 = 800 total points

        o   Or get 1,600 total points if you use the Speedster PowerUp!

·       200 extra points + 400 regular Final Q points after Round 3 = 600 total points

        o   Or get 1,200 total points if you use the Speedster PowerUp!

What happens if I get the Early Final Q right?

Congratulations! You’ll receive your extra points and you’ll be taken back to the game board screen, where you can continue the game.

What happens if I get the Early Final Q wrong?

Not a problem! There is no penalty for an incorrect answer. If you tried at the end of Round 2, you’ll get another chance to answer at the end of Round 3, and yet another chance at the end of the game.

Private Friends Network (PFN) and Challenges & Wagers

The Private Friends Network, or PFN, allows you to build your own friends network and share scores to see who’s on top each day in Right Again! Trivia. The PFN allows you to build a private network of your own friends to share scores, challenge and wager. Invite your friends to get started and enjoy this fun feature.

Where is it?

You can find the PFN tab underneath the main Right Again! Trivia game screen on the game’s web page, where you can see your Daily Top Score.

The Game Tab

On the Game tab, you’ll see a list of dates in descending order, starting with today’s date and going back 14 days. If you and/or anyone on your friends list have played that day’s game, your score will appear below the date, listed from highest to lowest score. So if you and your 10 best friends all play the same game, you’ll be able to see the rankings here! Only your score from the first time the game is played will be displayed for you and your friends to determine who came out on top.

The Friend Tab

On The Friend tab, you’ll see a list of all your friends. Below their name you’ll see their score for every game they’ve played for the past 14 days. Only your score from the first time the game is played will be displayed for you and your friends to determine who came out on top.

This view is perfect for seeing how your friends – or you – have done in Right Again! Trivia individually.

The Challenges Tab

On the Challenges tab, you can challenge up to three friends per game date. You also have the option to wager up to 300 game points per wager. Only your score from the first time the game is played will be used to determine who won the challenge and wager.

How can I send a challenge or make a wager?

You're a trivia buff and you're ready to challenge your friends to a game of Right Again! Trivia. Good news: now you can! You also have the option to wager up to 300 game points, but wagering isn't necessary to challenge your friends in the Private Friends Network!

Here's how you do it, once you’re on the game page:

1. Make sure you're signed in to the aarp.org website, either as an AARP Member or with a free registration. Make sure you’ve invited at least one friend before you try to use the Challenge feature.

2. Click "Challenge" within the Private Friends Network area. You'll see various Game Dates. Then click "View" on the Game Date you want to use. (You can also click “Challenge” on the Game Select screen, which will bring you to the Private Friends Network area.)

4. Click "Challenge" to send!

You can challenge as many friends as you want every day. However, you can send a maximum of three wagers per game date.

Make sure you challenge your friends before they play that day's game since only scores from the first time the game is played for a specific date is used to determine the winner of the challenge and wager.

5. How long is a challenge active?

Both the challenger and the friend have 24 hours — from 12:01 a.m. EST of the game date to midnight of the game date — to accept the challenge invite.

Your friend must complete and post the first score within 24 hours and 30 minutes.
