How to Play GENIUS

Welcome to GENIUS — the 15-Level IQ Gauntlet designed to test logical agility, pattern recognition, and tactical intelligence under pressure.

1. Select Your Avatar Profile

Begin by selecting your profile avatar. Your choice sets up your initial session telemetry and customizes your game interface.

2. Select Your Gameplay Mode

Choose between two strategic paths:

• With Lifeline: Receive 3 attempts per question. Use lives wisely to correct mistakes and navigate tricky logic traps.
• No Lifeline: One attempt only. High risk, maximum precision required. A single wrong answer advances the game without second chances.

3. Solve the 15-Level Gauntlet

Progress through 15 distinct puzzle levels ranging from deceptive basic logic to complex strategic chessboards and philosophical paradoxes.

4. Reveal Your IQ Score & Tier Rank

After completing Level 15 (or discontinuing early), submit your username to calculate your performance metrics, gender averages, and official IQ Tier (ranging from Nerd up to Legend).

5. Explore Conquest Mode

Upon completing Level 6, unlock Conquest Mode to challenge custom 10-question challenges created by other players or build your own gauntlet to defend your rank.
