Obby: Dumb or Genius IQ Test is a challenging obstacle course game that tests your reflexes, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills through increasingly difficult levels designed to measure your gaming intelligence quotient.
Game Overview
Obby: Dumb or Genius IQ Test puts a fun spin on the obstacle course genre by framing the challenge as an intelligence test. As players progress through the increasingly difficult levels, the game assigns them an "IQ score" based on their performance, reaction time, and problem-solving abilities. While not a genuine IQ assessment, the game provides an entertaining way to test your gaming skills and compare results with friends.
How to Play
The gameplay revolves around navigating your character through a series of obstacle courses (obbies). Each level features different challenges, from simple platforms and jumps to complex puzzles, moving hazards, and precision timing challenges. The controls are straightforward, but mastering the physics and timing requires practice. As you complete levels, you'll receive an in-game IQ rating that rises with your progress and performance.

- Practice makes perfect – don't get discouraged by failures, as each attempt builds muscle memory
- For the highest IQ scores, focus on minimizing deaths and optimizing completion time
- Some levels have multiple solutions – experiment to find the most efficient path
FAQ
Is this a real IQ test?
No, Obby: Dumb or Genius IQ Test doesn't provide a scientifically valid IQ assessment. The in-game scoring is designed for entertainment and to create a fun competitive element rather than a genuine measure of intelligence.
How is the in-game IQ score calculated?
The game calculates your "IQ score" based on several factors including completion time, number of attempts, how many obstacles you clear without failing, and your performance on special puzzle elements. The scoring algorithm gives higher weights to more challenging levels.
Can I improve my score by replaying levels?
Absolutely! The game records your best performance on each level, so replaying levels with fewer mistakes and faster times will improve your overall IQ score.
Are there different difficulty modes?
Rather than traditional difficulty settings, the game naturally progresses from simpler obstacles to extremely challenging ones. However, there are bonus "genius level" challenges that unlock after reaching certain IQ thresholds in the main game.
What's the highest possible IQ score in the game?
The game's scoring system typically caps around 200, with scores above 150 considered "genius level." Only players who master all levels with near-perfect execution will approach the maximum score.
