    Trivia

    What is Black Friday Trivia?

    Black Friday Trivia allows participants to earn Black Friday tickets and Memory Games by quickly and accurately answering trivia questions on various topics. Black Friday Trivia is a game of skill where the outcome is determined by the participant’s knowledge and ability to answer the questions rather than chance or luck. Tickets earned from Black Friday Trivia are required to unlock exclusive Drops.

    There are three rounds of Black Friday Trivia per day, each with different topics based on that day’s theme. The Black Friday themes are influenced by popular culture, fashion, music, television, movies and more.

    How do I participate?

    To participate in Black Friday Trivia, you can either directly access a round of trivia through a relevant push notification or through the Trivia section located in your Black Friday home screen. If you join a round of Live Trivia prior to the start time, you will wait in the lobby until the round starts. The lobby opens one minute before the start of a round. Once a round of Live Trivia starts, you may join at any time. The time that has elapsed after the round opens will be recorded as your “Start Time”, which factors into your overall results and rankings.

    Each round consists of a set number of multiple choice questions. You must attempt to answer each question in order to complete the trivia round.

    It is a participant’s responsibility to ensure that the Internet or mobile connection for play is reliable.

    You will receive both a daily and overall ranking based on your results if you participate in either Live or Non-live Trivia. Your rankings and results are determined by your start time, accuracy and speed.

    What is the difference between Live and Non-live Trivia?

    Live Trivia is only open for 30 minutes. Once a round of Live Trivia ends, you can still play Non-live Trivia until the next Live Trivia event starts. You have the ability to earn more tickets and Memory Games if you play Live Trivia versus Non-live Trivia.

    Memory Game

    Memory Games provide the opportunity to earn prizes like GOAT Credit, rare items and more. All prizes of GOAT Credit expire one year after the date of issuance unless otherwise indicated.

    To be awarded a Memory Game, you must participate in either Live or Non-Live Trivia. You can earn up to five Memory Games at the end of a Trivia game, depending on your results.

    To play the Memory Game, you must navigate to your BF24 profile and click ‘Play’ on the available game tiles. Once you’ve entered the game, you will have a set amount of time to match as many cards together as possible. Your speed and accuracy will determine which prizes you are eligible to earn.

    Once the allotted time has elapsed, you will see which prize you have earned. All prizes can be claimed through your BF24 profile.

    If you leave a Memory Game while playing, you will not be able to re-enter or replay the game.

    All Memory Games associated with a particular Trivia Theme will expire at the end of the day.

    In addition to playing the Memory Game, you also have the option to share your games with others and earn bonus tickets. If you share a Memory Game, you will not be able to play that game yourself.

    When you share a Memory Game, you will be provided a unique code that you must copy and give to the recipient. The unique code must be entered in order to unlock the game. Each Memory Game can be only shared once and will expire at the end of the day it was shared. You will receive bonus tickets only if the share recipient plays the Memory Game.
