Britannica's daily quiz

Tightrope is the daily trivia game from Britannica, the encyclopedia company. You answer nine questions in order, from a mix of topics, and everyone gets the same set each day. The name has nothing to do with surgery or song lyrics that share the word.

Keeping your balance

Read each question to the end. The last words often change what is being asked.
Rule out the clearly wrong options first, then think about the rest.
Do not rush the early questions. A slip early hurts as much as a slip late.
Learn from the answers. Britannica explains them, which is good for the next day.

Free on the web and in the app

Tightrope is free in the browser and in the Britannica app. If you want more daily trivia after it, Daily Tens and Factle are list based quizzes that are quick to finish.
