THE FRIENDS GUIDE
Your people. Your little rivalry.
Bring your favourite people to Pop Quest. Follow their quiz profiles, compare your daily scores and share a challenge when you have a result worth bragging about.
OPEN FRIENDSHow Friends works.
Find your friendsStart for free: anyone can play and send a general game invitation. Create an account or sign in to follow friends and keep your quiz results across devices. Joining does not automatically make your profile public.
Make a follow link: open My profile, then Sharing & friends. Choose a handle using 3–24 letters, numbers or underscores, switch on Make my quiz profile public and save your choices. Your quiz name, avatar, bio, scores and streak become public; your email and account details stay private. Interests are a separate choice.
Invite your people: the Friends page has WhatsApp, Email and Copy link buttons. Supported browsers also offer More ways to share for their device’s share menu. With a public profile, the invitation links straight to you. Otherwise, it opens the games. You choose the recipients and send it yourself; Pop Quest does not access your contacts or send invitations automatically.
Follow a friend: open their profile link, sign in or create an account if needed, then tap Follow. You can also find them by their @handle on the Friends page. An invitation does not follow anyone automatically. Following works one way: ask them to send their profile back so you can follow each other.
Compare this week: open My scores, then Friends this week. Daily Quest and Qwerty points count when earned on the edition’s release day. The week runs Monday to Sunday in London time. Equal points share a rank. POPCORN, Extras, archive play and both Rush games’ fans stay separate.
Share a quiz challenge: after completing a quiz, share your result. If you have enabled public sharing and Allow friend challenges, the link can compare saved first attempts. Already played? Your saved result counts; the link does not restart the game or award extra points.
Take it to the carpet: Red Carpet Rush has its own Challenge a friend card after a run. It opens the same course without requiring an account. Arcade challenge results are separate from the weekly friends table and career progress.
Stay in control: unfollow from a player’s profile, or use Block player and Report profile. Turn public quiz sharing off to hide your profile and revoke quiz challenge links. Messages and images already sent cannot be recalled, and Red Carpet Rush links have separate sharing rules.
Choose your reminders: rivalry reminders are optional in Sharing & friends. They also need notification permission on your device. You can use Friends without enabling notifications.
