About this game
RSKQuiz (The Ricky, Steve & Karl Quiz) is an unofficial fan-made trivia game about the radio shows, podcasts and audiobooks of Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington.
The questions cover XFM (2001 to 2005), the 2005 BBC Radio 2 specials, the Guardian podcasts and Podfathers (2005 to 2006), the Fame and NME specials, and the Ricky Gervais Guides (2008 to 2011). After each answer you'll see the exact bit of the show it came from and which episode it's in, so you can go and listen to it.
Thanks to the fans behind Scrimpton.com and the XFM Vault at therickygervaisshow.com, whose transcripts made this possible.
How scoring works
- Harder questions are worth more: 100, 150 or 200 points for easy, medium or hard. Each question shows its value. Who Said It? quotes are worth 100.
- Rockbusters: 250 if you type the answer, half that if you ask for the options.
- Speed bonus: up to 50 extra points, fading to nothing over the first 30 seconds. There's no time limit, so take as long as you need.
- Streaks: each right answer in a row adds 10% to your points, up to +50%.
- 50/50: using it halves that question's points. Ask Karl is free, but he's only right about 40% of the time.
- Quick-fire 60: 100 points a question with streaks, and no speed bonus.
- Wrong answers score nothing and reset your streak.
Scores and privacy
There are no accounts. Your points, badges and progress are saved in your browser on this device. When you finish a round, your name and score go to the shared leaderboard (pick a nickname if you'd rather not use your real name). Read the full privacy policy. A challenge link carries the round, the question seed, your name and your score, so a friend can play the same questions.
