Wipeout

About

Wipeout is a fast-paced trivia showdown where players answer questions by selecting correct options from a grid of sixteen. Each round presents a multiple-choice question, with eleven correct answers worth increasing cash prizes. The twist? Five of the options are Wipeouts. Choosing one erases all your earnings for the game. Single or multiplayer modes let you compete to accumulate the most cash, with the top two players advancing to a high-stakes auction round. Here, you bid on how many correct answers you can pick from a new set, balancing risk and reward as you try to outlast your opponent. The tension comes from the constant threat of losing everything, a mechanic that keeps even seasoned players on edge. The auction round adds a layer of strategy, forcing tough decisions about confidence versus caution. With its blend of rapid decision-making and luck, Wipeout remains a classic for those who enjoy the rush of jeopardy-style play. Released in 1989, it’s a relic of early trivia gaming that still delivers punchy, replayable fun.
