Your cheat sheet for everything Torah Blitz
| Mode | Players | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 or 2 | 3 outs. Both players can answer each question within 10 seconds. Wrong = lose an out. Game ends when a player is out. |
| Timed | 1 | 3-minute clock. No per-question timer. No outs. Race to get as many correct as possible before time runs out. |
| Lightning | 2 | Speed round! First to answer locks it in. 3 outs. Every 20 correct answers = +1 bonus out. |
| Face-Off | 2 | Turn-based. 5 questions per turn, then switch. Wrong answer = immediate switch. Every 10 correct = +1 bonus out. |
| Unlimited | 1 | No outs, no time limit. Play through all questions in a category. Great for learning — wrong answers don't end the game. |
| Unlimited Dual | 2 | Two-player speed game with no outs. First to answer gets/loses points. Keeps going until all questions are used. |
| Online Play | 2 | Same rules as Face-Off, but vs. an automatically matched opponent online. Requires Family/Family+ plan + a parent to enable Online Play on the player's profile + gender set. |
| Review | 1 | Practice questions you've gotten wrong across all categories. 3 outs. Answer a question correctly in two separate Review games to graduate it out of your review pool. Tap the purple Review tile on the category screen. |
| Correct answer | +5 points |
| Wrong answer | -5 points (except Unlimited mode: no penalty) |
| Timeout | No penalty, moves to next question |
| Score floor | Score can never drop below 0 |

These can only be won from the perk wheel — they can't be used in-game:
Achievements earn you perk spins. Some can be earned multiple times (once per game mode). On the dashboard they're now grouped by category (Getting Started, Score, Winning, Streaks, Mastery, Diligence, Timed, Online Play, Special) so it's easier to see what's left. Hover or tap an achievement to see details.
