The level of difficulties vary. They fit the amount that they are in. These are general knowledge questions, so it really depends on you how well you will do. But generally, the lower amounts are easy and it gets more challenging as you go up. It’s also competitive because there is a leader board.

Boxes take time to open and gems are hard to collect
