WhatzWrong® — Format details for partners

A simple game with a strict rule:
Each question presents three statements. Two are true. One is wrong.
Your task is to identify the wrong statement.

WhatzWrong is not a trivia quiz where players recall the “right” answer.
Instead, it rewards careful reading, reasoning, and judgement.

The format is designed so that shortcuts, pattern-spotting, and guessing are ineffective.

How a round works

Each round:

  • Selects 25 questions at random from the question bank
  • Uses three unrelated subjects per question
  • Randomises the position of the wrong statement every time

No two rounds play the same way.

Format & Fairness

With three choices per question, random guessing gives a one-in-three chance per answer.
Across a 25-question round, achieving a top-tier score by guessing alone is statistically extraordinary.

As a result:

  • High scores must be earned
  • Strong results indicate reasoning or learning
  • The format remains fair to new and experienced players alike

This balance is deliberate and central to the design.

The WhatzWrong question bank is curated and expandable.
Statements are never reused as the bank grows, ensuring freshness, replayability, and long-term depth.

The current live build uses a bank of 150 + questions, with new material added incrementally.

Designed for adaptation

WhatzWrong is a format, not a fixed product.
Its rules are simple, but its structure supports adaptation across:

  • digital games
  • print (books and puzzles)
  • education and training
  • broadcast and live play

The format remains consistent while the content evolves.

AI should be human-led — a way of learning from each other, not replacing one another.

This format is presented in the spirit of careful thinking, shared knowledge, and creative play. WhatzWrong is designed to encourage judgement, curiosity, and discussion — using AI as a tool, not a substitute — and shared simply for the sake of ideas, learning, and play.
