Our Origin Story
How it started
During a holiday break about 7 years ago, our founder's kids were sweating through a trivia game. "Dad, what's the capital of Spain" <sigh> or "Who was the director of the Godfather movies? (<really?>) He then commented, why can't you all put this much intensity into your academic subjects and ding, the idea of ClashMates was born. He was then introduced to a like-minded technologist whose tech company had developed the needed quizzing engine to make ClashMates a reality and off it went!

What it Is
This first variation is tough. You're pitted against another player trying to answer Advanced Placement (AP) level questions as quickly as possible. So unless you really know Biology, Chemistry, Psychology or US Government & Politics, it'll be a challenge. However, you can start off more relaxed by competing in the Intro sections which includes questions that more of us actually have a chance at answering correctly.
What to Expect Later
-
More AP subjects, for sure
-
More rewards for leveling up and earning achievements
-
PvE arenas and competitions
