Your host, Flight Medic Sabo
How much of it are you willing to lose?
Two boards and two ways to play. On your own, or head to head with someone on your base.
Critical Care is the broad board: 225 questions across nine clinical domains — airway, cardiac, transport physiology, trauma, neuro, pharmacology, OB and neonatal, toxicology and environmental, and medical and metabolic.
ABG Jeopardy is blood gases only: 120 questions across eight categories, from reading a clean gas to unpicking three disorders hiding behind a normal pH. Respiratory and metabolic, acidosis and alkalosis, uncompensated through fully compensated, mixed pictures, the anion and delta gap, and oxygenation.
Each board keeps its own history, its own best score, and its own base leaderboard, because an all-ABG score and a mixed score are not the same achievement.
Six categories, five clues each, and a final question. Tap a dollar value to open a clue. The board is dealt fresh every time and remembers what you have already been asked, so consecutive games never repeat a question.
Every clue is four options with a 30-second timer. Tap the one you think is right. Get it right and the value is added to your score; get it wrong and the same amount comes off. Running out of time counts as wrong, so guess rather than let the clock run.
Your score can go negative. That is how the real game works and it is left in on purpose — a category you are shaky in should cost you something.
After every answer you get an explanation of why the right answer is right and why the tempting wrong ones are tempting. Read it even when you got it right. The score is only there to keep you tapping; the rationale is the part that changes what you do on a call.
One clue somewhere in the harder rows is a Daily Double. It opens a wager first — up to your score or $1,000, whichever is larger. You win or lose the wager, not the clue value.
Clear the board and one last question appears. You wager up to your score before you see it. If you are in the red you cannot wager anything, which is its own kind of feedback.
Tap the crossed swords in the header, or Challenge a crew member on the results screen. A duel is a full board you share with one other person, played whenever suits you both.
You can duel anyone on your own base who has signed in to the app. They appear in the list the first time they open it.
The star in the header shows your base's board. It keeps your best score, so a bad run never knocks your record down. You rank against your own crew, not against all 158 bases.
Each clue is tagged CFRN, FP-C or both, and shows which domain it sits in. Transport Physiology is FP-C only — gas laws, altitude and cabin pressure are the material that separates the flight paramedic credential from the rest.
The speaker in the header mutes everything. The music is original, written for this app — it is not the television theme.
It is not a practice exam and it does not predict a score. The questions are written against the published content outlines, not taken from either exam. Nothing here overrides your protocols or your medical direction.
