Peer Challenge (Multiplayer)

Peer Challenge (Multiplayer) allows your child to compete with other KooBits users by answering questions based on their curriculum and level. Each challenge consists of 5 questions, and your child can earn up to 3 Challenge Points (CPs) based on their performance compared to their opponent. 

Key Rules & Timing

  • Peer challenges limit per day: 
    • Math: send or accept up to 3 challenges
    • English and Chinese: select 3 Random Challenger
    • Science: select 1 Random Challenger
      Note: To keep learning sustainable and fun, we have balanced the daily workload for Science alongside Math. Following MOE guidelines, these limits are designed to prevent burnout and keep your child motivated across multiple subjects.
  • Opening Hours: Available from 6am to 10pm daily.
  • Submission: Once you submit your answers, they cannot be changed. Ensure all questions are answered before clicking the Submit button.

Earning Points in Peer Challenges

Click here to learn how many CPs can be earned for each peer challenge.

  • Random Challenges: When you challenge a random opponent, results and CPs are credited immediately to your account and reflected on the leaderboards.
  • Challenges to Friends or Classmates: If you choose to send a challenge to a friend/classmate, you will see the ‘Pending’ page once you complete your own 5 questions. This means that your challenge request has been successfully sent. You will earn your corresponding CPs after the recipient of the challenge accepts or rejects the challenge.
    1. Accepts the challenge: The sender of the challenge will earn his/her CPs based on the result. Achievement time will be based on the time the recipient accepted the challenge.
    2. Rejects the challenge: The sender will earn his/her CPs based on his/her own result. Achievement time will be based on the time the recipient rejected the challenge.
  • The recipient of the challenge will have up to 3 days to respond. If not, the pending challenge will expire.
