In a Sequence round, you’re not just asked what something is — you’re asked to put a list of things in the right order. Chronological order, alphabetical order, size, speed, value — whatever the question asks for. It’s a format that rewards lateral thinking as much as direct knowledge.
How it works
A list of items appears on your device screen — films, events, countries, songs, people, objects — and you need to tap them in the correct sequence. The order you tap is the order you’re submitting, so think before you start tapping.
Questions can be supported by an image, a video clip, or an audio track where relevant. Full points go to the team with the correct complete sequence. Partial points may be awarded for partially correct answers depending on the round settings.
What makes it interesting
Sequence questions work well because you often know some of the order without knowing all of it — which means you can reason your way to a correct answer even if your direct knowledge is incomplete. A team that debates the sequence together usually does better than one person answering alone.
