FAQ: How to play
Last updated October 13, 2026
What is JinQuest?
A free quiz platform by JinSwara for learning Jain philosophy through play. There are no ads and nothing to buy. More about us.
How do I sign in?
Tap Continue with Google. There is no password to remember, and your progress is saved to your account.
How does a quiz work?
Pick a topic, open a quiz and read its rules, then tap Start. Each quiz has a timer, either a few seconds per question or a total time for the whole quiz. You can skip a question; unanswered questions score 0. When time runs out, the quiz submits on its own.
How is my score calculated?
- Single correct: answer fast for more points, from 10 points down to a minimum of 5.
- Multiple correct: pick every right option for 10 points. Any wrong option gives 0 for that question.
- Negative marking: a wrong answer costs 2 points, a skip costs nothing.
What happens if I leave the app during a quiz?
Leaving counts as a strike, and your progress is saved. After 3 strikes the quiz is submitted automatically with the answers you have given.
What are hints and coins?
You earn coins by playing. A hint removes 2 wrong options from a question. The first hint costs 5 coins and the cost doubles with every hint in the same quiz, then resets on your next attempt.
How do trophies and the leaderboard work?
Leaderboard quizzes award trophies, and only your first attempt counts. You can replay for coins. The leaderboard has the all-time Hall of Trophies, Monthly Learners, players around your rank, your city (if you share it in profile settings) and people you follow. It updates every 30 minutes.
What are learning paths?
Paths string topics into a journey. Pass a topic to unlock the next one, and finish the whole path to earn its path badge.
How do I earn badges?
Badges come from achievements, streaks, scores and social activity, from common to legendary. See yours under Profile, then Badges.
Can I save quizzes and questions?
Yes. Bookmark a quiz from its instructions page, or a tricky question from your results. Find them later under Profile, in Saved Quizzes and Saved Questions.
Can I challenge a friend?
After a quiz, tap Challenge Friend to get a link. Your friend signs in and tries to beat your score before the challenge expires.
Can I play in Hindi or in dark mode?
Yes. Open Settings to switch between English and Hindi and between light and dark mode.
I found a wrong question. What do I do?
Open the question in your quiz results and tap Flag Question with a short note. For anything else, contact us.
