# Trivia Showdown
> Multiple-choice elimination trivia — answer or you're out
**Category:** Trivia · **Players:** free-for-all · **Status:** Stable
Multiple-choice elimination trivia. Each round shows a question and four
answers; chat votes A–D. On the reveal, everyone who picked wrong — or didn't
vote at all — is eliminated. The last player standing wins. It also runs as a
points game where nobody's out and answering fast pays off.
## Gameplay
Type `!join`, or just vote — your first A/B/C/D vote joins you
automatically.
Type a letter (`a`/`b`/`c`/`d`) or a number (`1`–`4`). One vote per round;
your first choice locks in.
The answer flips. Wrong answers and silent players drop out; the last one
standing wins.
## How a round resolves
Every round is one question, four answers, one correct — and a reveal that
thins the room.
* **Vote or be out.** In elimination mode, a wrong answer *or* no answer drops
you — staying silent is as fatal as guessing wrong.
* **Exactly one is right.** No ties to reason about; the roster locks on the
first reveal, and late arrivals wait for the next game.
* **Points mode is friendlier.** Nobody's eliminated; every correct vote
scores, and answering early earns a decaying speed bonus (up to +3).
## Configuration
| Option | Values | Default |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Scoring** | `elimination`, `points` | `elimination` |
| **Lifeline gift** | a gift that grants immunity (or a point in points mode) | Off until set |
**Scoring.** **elimination** (default) cuts wrong/silent voters until one
remains. **points** keeps everyone in, scores each correct vote, and adds a
speed bonus for early answers — the highest total wins.
**Lifeline gift.** Off until the host picks a gift. In elimination mode it banks
immunity (see [Gifts](#gifts)); in points mode the same gift is worth **+1
point** instead.
## Layout
1. **Marquee** — game title and how-to hint.
2. **Round + question** — the round number and the current question.
3. **Answer board** — the four options A–D; the correct one lights up on reveal.
4. **Podium** — the top three players.
5. **Chasers** — the rest of the field, or the survivor count.
The game moves through **Lobby → Voting → Revealed → Finished**.
## Gifts
Trivia Showdown uses the same **stadium-immunity** lifeline as Higher or Lower.
It's off unless the host configures it.
* Sending the configured gift banks **+1 immunity**, up to **3**.
* When a reveal would eliminate you — wrong or silent — one immunity is spent
instead and you survive, but you earn no streak point.
* In **points** mode there's no elimination, so the same gift simply awards
**+1 point** (capped so it can't be farmed).
## Scoring
* **Elimination:** the last survivor (or survivors, if tied) wins; the game also
ends when the question pool runs out.
* **Points:** the highest total wins, with early correct answers boosted by the
speed bonus.
* Correct answers feed the per-streamer win tally behind
[avatar ring tiers](/games/leaderboards). Wins are tracked per streamer.
