Which one suits you?
Four in a Row
Discs drop into columns, and the first to line up four wins. Any kid gets the rules, yet every game is a small duel of thinking one move ahead.
Pick Four in a Row when two people want a clear-cut duel for a few minutes.
Quiz Night
The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.
Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.
What they have in common

- Both come free with Gather and need no account.
