Frequently Asked Questions (and the Ones You Were Too Afraid to Ask)

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the board game, the app, and life as a proud TUOHK student.
Don’t worry — no marks are deducted for asking.

Basic

How do you actually win TUOHK?

Faq Question Open Icon

Earn the required degrees, return to the University Hub, and answer one final question correctly. Easy… unless you roll a five when you only need a one.

Do I need internet to use the TUOHK app?

Faq Question Open Icon

No Wi-Fi required! The app is fully loaded with 12,000 questions, timers, and report cards — all built right in. You can play in the deepest library basement and still graduate.

How many people can play at once?

Faq Question Open Icon

Up to six teams can enroll at the same time-one playing token per team. The size of each team determines the number of players overall. The more the merrier.

Can kids play TUOHK?

Faq Question Open Icon

Absolutely. Ages 14+ can jump right in, especially with Split Mode on the app — kids get Pass questions, adults face Honours. Everyone gets bragging rights.

What if two players land in the same Faculty?

Faq Question Open Icon

Academic policy is strict: only one student per Faculty at a time. If all entrances are occupied, you’ll have to wait your turn — or hope for a lucky Tuee Report to shake things up.

Other

What are Tuee Reports?

Faq Question Open Icon

They’re the academic curveballs of life — some will catapult you to success, others will wipe your record clean. Think of them as fate with a sense of humour.

What’s the difference between levels?

Faq Question Open Icon

Pass is for the calm and collected. The tutor is Karen.

Honours is for the bold and overconfident. The tutor is Lee.

Hybrid is for those who want access to all the questions and the suspense of not knowing what level question they are going to be asked.

How long does a typical game take?

Faq Question Open Icon

That depends on your brainpower, luck, and how many times the Tuee's interrupt. The Short Course (4 degrees) usually runs 45–60 minutes; a Long Course (6 degrees) can go a full semester… or at least a couple of hours.
