Hooked — the daily
fishing trivia game.

A little knowledge. A little luck. One very big fish story. Hooked is a free daily trivia game where the answers nobody thinks of make the biggest splash.

Five categories. Thirty seconds each. Cast your mind beyond the obvious and see what you can reel in.

THE DOCKSIDE FIELD GUIDE

01 — 04
01

Cast your mind.
Catch some fish.

A category appears. Type as many correct answers as you can before the 30-second timer runs out. Every new answer adds a fish to your bucket.

LET’S GO FISHING ↗
02

Think a little rarer.
Reel a little heavier.

The obvious answers are minnows. The less obvious ones are the real catch. Each answer has a fixed rarity rating, so unusual knowledge earns more weight.

03

Five rounds.
One glorious bucket.

Fish your way through five categories. The last round is your golden opportunity: every catch counts double. Your final score is the total weight of your haul.

FINAL ROUND · DOUBLE WEIGHT
04

Same lake.
A fresh day.

A new daily haul arrives at midnight UTC. Everyone gets the same categories. Share your catch, keep your streak afloat, or cast again in practice mode.

LESS SCROLLING. MORE TROLLING.

Good things come
to those who bait.

You don’t need to know everything to have a great day on the lake. Start with the answers you know, follow a stray thought, and surprise yourself with what surfaces.

From geography to animals, food to the solar system, every category is a new stretch of water. There’s no download, no complicated setup—just you, a ticking clock, and the one answer on the tip of your tongue.

A few things
worth knowing.

No fishing license required.

How do I play Hooked?+

Press Cast your line. You’ll get five categories with 30 seconds per round. Type an answer and press Enter or Catch. Keep naming different correct answers until the time runs out, then move to the next round.

What makes an answer a bigger fish?+

Answers have fixed, editorial rarity ratings. Familiar answers earn smaller fish; less obvious answers earn more weight. These ratings are part of the game, not live player statistics. Every category also has one top-rated Kraken answer.

What kind of answers are accepted?+

Each category uses a curated answer list. Capitalization, accents, spaces, and punctuation are ignored, and common alternate names are accepted. A repeated answer only counts once. An answer missing from the list will not score; the round recap shows some answers you could have caught.

When does the daily game reset?+

A fresh set of categories arrives at midnight UTC. The countdown on the dock shows how long remains. Your daily game and statistics are saved in this browser, so come back on the same device to keep your streak.

Can I play more than once a day?+

Yes. The daily challenge counts once per day. Practice fishing is free and unlimited, with a shuffled set of categories each time. Practice games do not affect your daily score or streak.

What happens in the final round?+

The fifth round doubles every fish’s weight. A 5 lb catch becomes 10 lb. It’s your chance for a comeback—or to turn a good haul into a ridiculous fish story.

Do I need an account or an app?+

No account or download is needed. Play directly in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. Your results stay on your device. Clearing browser storage removes saved progress and statistics.

Can I share my results without spoilers?+

Absolutely. Finish all five rounds, then use Share your haul to copy a summary with your weight and round results. Answers stay out of it, so your friends can fish the same waters unspoiled.

THE FISH AREN’T GOING TO GUESS THEMSELVES.

Got one nobody else
is thinking of?
