Pick Up or Down is a free quiz game in the higher-or-lower style. Two things go head to head – for example two countries, two animals or two buildings – and you decide whether the value on the second card is higher or lower than the first. The game runs right in your browser and as an app, with no registration.
You pick a category and start the round. Two cards show two things; the value of one is visible, and for the other you have to guess: is it higher (▲) or lower (▼)? After every answer you immediately see whether you were right, along with both real values.
A round lasts 60 seconds. If you get 10 correct answers in that time you stay alive – otherwise the round costs you a life.
You get 5 lives per day. They reset at midnight, so you can start fresh every day.
There are currently questions from 12 topic areas, and we regularly add new categories to the game. Each topic has its own overview page with background knowledge:
We compile and review the questions and values ourselves, partly with the help of AI. They are rounded approximations meant for fun – not as a factual source. If you spot a mistake, please send us an email.
Pick Up or Down is also available as an Android app: Get it on Google Play.
Pick Up or Down is available in German, English and Spanish. You can switch the language at any time at the top of the game.
