# How to Play Cosmos Trivia on Cosmos Video

Cosmos Trivia is a multiplayer quiz game with 25 categories that teams can mix and match. It is designed for any group size from small pods to company-wide events, and runs natively at a game table inside a Cosmos Video space with no downloads or third-party apps.

## Rules

1. Pick a category from the 25 available, or choose to combine all categories.
2. A question is shown with multiple answer options and a timer.
3. Each player votes for the answer they believe is correct before the timer expires.
4. Optionally use the 50/50 power-up to remove two incorrect options, but correct answers then score half points.
5. When the timer ends, everyone's vote and the correct answer are revealed.
6. Points are awarded for each correct answer.
7. Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.

## Setup in Cosmos Video

1. Enter a public Cosmos Space or create your own.
2. Approach a game table with the gamified appearance.
3. Press X on the keyboard, or click Games in the toolbar.
4. Select Cosmos Trivia, pick a category, and wait for teammates to join.

## Tips for Groups

- Mix categories to even the playing field across specialisms.
- Save 50/50 for questions you are genuinely unsure about.
- Run a short 10-question quiz before a meeting as a warm-up.
- Rotate the category picker each round.
