Yes. Log in and open My questions to submit a numerical question, its answer and optional source links. An administrator reviews its wording, answer, sources and suitability. Every question needs explicit admin approval before it can appear in games; submission alone does not publish it.
Can I submit a question, and who reviews it?
Why do some questions have an expiration date?
Facts such as populations, statistics and records can change. Administrators can set an optional expiration date so a question stops being selected for new games when its information may be out of date. It stays out of circulation until an administrator checks the answer and sources, updates anything that has changed and renews its validity. You can also report an issue before a question expires.
Can I try a trivia quiz before creating an account?
Yes. Try the sample question on the homepage without an account, email or ROX. It gives higher/lower hints. Full campaigns, multiplayer and daily challenges use a guest or regular account.
Is Approx a multiple-choice quiz?
No. Every answer is numerical, and you submit a lower and upper bound. You can catch an answer without remembering its exact value. A narrower correct range is stronger than a wider correct range.
What age is Approx for?
Approx launches for players aged 16 and over. New accounts confirm this during signup; existing and guest accounts confirm before accessing gameplay. This confirmation does not authorize advertising tracking.
Will ads interrupt a question?
Approx is designed around optional rewarded ads: you choose whether to watch an available ad for ROX. Ads should not appear automatically during a question. Availability depends on the configured service and applicable privacy choices.
What is Approx?
Approx is an online numeric trivia and range-guessing game. Every round asks a question with a numerical answer. Submit a lower and upper bound that you believe contains the true value. A precise correct range scores better than a wide one. If you enter just one bound, it counts as an exact guess.
What game modes can I play?
All three modes use the same range-guessing idea, but each gives you a different way to play:
- Single playerExplore campaigns and levels against bots. Complete level objectives to earn stars, then replay levels to improve your result.
- MultiplayerPlay with other people or bots. Join a public game, find a private game, or create a custom lobby and choose its rules.
- Daily challengePlay the same daily setup as everyone else against bots with fixed answers, then compare your result on that day’s leaderboard.
How are points scored?
You score by placing bounds that are as precise as possible while still capturing the correct answer. Wide ranges are safer but usually less rewarding. Tight, accurate ranges score better, and missing the answer entirely can cost you heavily compared to players who captured it.
What happens in a round?
A round starts with a question and a countdown or manual host progression, depending on game settings. Each player submits their lower and upper bounds. Once the round ends, the game reveals the correct answer, points awarded, and updated standings before moving on to the next question.
How do I start a game?
From Overview, choose a mode. For Single player, open a campaign and tap an available level to play. For Multiplayer, join a public or private game, or create your own; the host starts it from the lobby when the players are ready. For the Daily challenge, open today’s challenge and tap Play.
What options can I configure when creating a game?
Game creation lets you choose how many rounds to play, which question categories to include, whether the game auto-advances between phases, how long players get per question, and which power-ups are available. You can also save presets for setups you use often.
What is the difference between public and private games?
Public games appear in the Multiplayer game list and can be joined by other players browsing available games. Private games do not show up in the public list and are meant for direct sharing with invited players.
What does auto-advance mean?
If auto-advance is enabled, the game uses the configured timers and progresses on its own between asking, revealing, and moving to the next round. If it is disabled, the host controls when to continue, so question and break timings are not required.
What are power-ups?
A game can enable specific power-ups. These are configured when the host creates the game. Each power-up can also have a maximum number of uses. Some power-ups are instant, some apply to the current round, and some are passive protections that trigger automatically.
How does Range Shifter work?
Range Shifter is a round power-up. When you activate it, the game can shift your whole submitted range by a percentage of its span if that shift is enough to catch the correct answer. If the shift would not catch the answer, nothing changes.
How does Answer Digit Number work?
Answer Digit Number is an instant power-up. It reveals how many digits are in the integer part of the correct answer. Use it once per round; recharging it adds a use for another round and does not remove that limit.
How does Power-up Recharger work?
Power-up Recharger instantly restores one use of another enabled power-up. Choose the power-up to recharge when you use it. Recharging Answer Digit Number does not let you use it twice in the same round.
How does Near Miss Save work?
Near Miss Save is a passive power-up. If your submitted range misses the answer by only a small margin, the game can extend your range by a percentage of your span and let that expanded range count for scoring. It is designed to rescue very close misses rather than fully incorrect guesses.
How does Wrong Range Warning work?
Wrong Range Warning is a passive power-up. If your submitted range is wrong, the game warns you and prevents that submission from locking in, giving you another chance to correct it. In timed mode, this only works when there is still enough time left in the round, so it is a safety net rather than a guaranteed second attempt.
What is ROX?
ROX can currently be earned through bonuses and rewards. It is intended to be used for additional features and other gameplay-related systems as the platform expands.
How can I get ROX?
You can currently get ROX in three main ways: by claiming your daily bonus, by claiming one-time bonuses when they are available, and by using referral links when a new non-guest account is created. Staff can also grant ROX manually for support or promotional reasons, but that is not part of the normal player flow.
Where can I see my stats, transactions, and bonuses?
Open your profile to see your game stats, current ROX balance, daily bonus, one-time bonuses, transaction history, referral link, and notifications. This is also where future account-related rewards and activity are surfaced.
Can I play Approx without signing up?
Yes. Choose Play as guest on the sign-in page to create a guest account without an email address. You can then choose a game mode. Guest access is tied to your browser, so create a registered account if you want more reliable access to your progress across devices.
Is Approx a multiple-choice quiz or a number guessing game?
Approx is a numeric trivia game with range answers rather than multiple-choice options. Questions ask for a number, such as a year or a quantity. You choose the interval that you think contains the answer, which lets you compete even when you are not sure of the exact value.
How can I play a trivia game with friends?
Choose Multiplayer and create a lobby. A private lobby is useful when you only want invited friends to join. Share the lobby link, choose categories and game rules, and start when everyone is ready. You can also add bots.
Can I play alone instead of joining a multiplayer quiz?
Yes. Single-player campaigns let you explore levels, play against bots, and complete objectives to earn stars. The daily challenge is another way to play on your own and compare your score with the community.
Can I play Approx on my phone?
Yes. Approx works in a mobile browser, with a number keyboard for entering your guesses. Native Android and iOS apps are coming soon; there are no Google Play or App Store download links yet.
Is Approx free to try?
You can visit Approx and create a guest account without paying or entering an email. Games and campaigns can use ROX, the in-game currency, and their entry or unlock costs are shown before you start. Daily bonuses and other rewards provide ways to earn ROX.
What kinds of trivia questions does Approx have?
Questions have numerical answers: years, quantities, distances, and other values. Games can select question categories and difficulty levels. Visit Community stats and its Questions tab to see the current approved library by category.
Can I learn the answers after playing?
Yes. After a round, Approx reveals the correct numerical answer and the points for the submitted ranges. That makes each question a chance to discover a fact as well as test your knowledge.
Do I need to log in to read the rules or community stats?
No. The rules, FAQ & help, and Community stats are public. Login or guest access is needed for playing games, submitting questions, and viewing your personal profile.
How do we prevent cheating?
The system contains mechanisms for tracking player behavior deemed as potential unfair play. If a player matches the configured suspicious pattern enough times, they are warned and will be marked with a warning icon for a certain amount of time. If this behavior persists, it may result in harsher punishments by the administrators.
