Hedge

Daily calibrated trivia: bet how sure you are.

Five questions a day, about 90 seconds. This is calibrated trivia: the scoring rewards being right about how much you actually know, not just being right.

What you actually do

You see a true/false statement. Before you answer, you set your confidence: 50% (no clue), 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 99% (bet the house). Then you swipe TRUE or FALSE.

The math (Brier scoring) pays you for confidence you can back up and punishes confidence you can't. Hedging at 50% earns a flat 15 of 20 points either way, what pure guessing is worth. You only climb above 15 by knowing more, and only fall below it by betting confidence you didn't have. Confidently wrong hurts way more than "eh, maybe."

Go deeper with Gut Check

The daily round keeps you honest five questions at a time. Gut Check is the focused version: pick a topic pack, spend Chips to open it, and answer 40 or more questions in one sitting.

At the end you get two reads. Your calibration: was your confidence honest, with your 80% bets landing around 80% of the time? Your conviction: did your gut commit, betting hard on what you knew and hedging what you didn't? Replay a pack to watch your accuracy climb toward mastery. Chips are earned by playing, so the more you show up, the more you get to dig in.

Why it's different

Most trivia rewards luck and elimination. Calibrated trivia rewards self-knowledge. Over time the Pulse calibration chart shows whether your 90%s are actually 90%, which categories you're sharp in, and where confident-and-wrong burns you. Like a weatherman or a bookie, you learn how much you actually know.

Questions made for Hedge

Other trivia apps draw from the same shared question banks, the free and paid sets dozens of them license, so the same questions turn up everywhere. Hedge writes and fact-checks its own. Every question is original to the app and built for the confidence bet, so you're not answering the recycled trivia you've already seen somewhere else.
