The 99

The 99 is a quiz game built around rounds with 99 possibilities. It offers several modes, with randomly generated rounds, and supports single-player play or up to four players locally. The game is designed primarily for German-speaking players, so some categories may depend on knowledge of German language or history.

Pairing and sorting modes

In 1vs.1, random blocks appear and you match them in pairs, searching for all 99 possible pairs. Not all pairs are available at once, and you compete for a high score against time, randomization and your own knowledge. You can make new blocks appear, but space is limited.

In 2vs.all, blocks arrive on one side while two large fields on the other provide the assignment options. Both modes are manipulated as you play: timers can make blocks appear, disappear or change. Hard mode adds random events every 99 seconds, with events occurring at shorter intervals as the round continues. Some events fill the screen or turn the blocks.

Topsort gives you 40 blocks to sort as quickly as possible into the top 1 to top 20 places, without putting any in the wrong place.

Quiz and puzzle modes

Freequiz is a local quiz mode for up to 16 players. You enter the players’ names and choose when to reveal an answer, move to the next question and award points, leaving the rules and scoring in the group’s hands. Random questions provide room for discussion.

In PuzzleMe, you solve one of 99 randomly selected puzzles, each made up of 25 pieces, then enter the correct answer. ThinkTank presents a statement and adds other statements in a random order and at random times; press your button when you see statements that fit together.
