The Finiqians phoenix, drawn in the points a family lights

FINIQIANS

They crossed every sea and never stopped being from here.

Trivia about the Lebanon you know by heart, the family you have not met, and one hour a week when the whole diaspora is awake together.

One app for the whole diaspora

More Lebanese live outside Lebanon than inside it. This is where we all end up on the same leaderboard.

Trivia you actually know

History, food, dialect, Fairuz, landmarks, the diaspora itself — bilingual questions with explanations that teach you something on the way.

Duel your cousins

Same questions, same order, any timezone. Challenge anyone from Sydney to São Paulo and settle who really knows Lebanon.

Village vs village

Bsharri vs Zgharta. Zahle vs Tripoli. Every town gets a board, ranked fairly by average — recruit your family and put yours on top.

The daily challenge

Ten questions, the whole world, one attempt — resetting on your local day, whether that day starts in Beirut or Buenos Aires.

Find your people

Friends, chat, and leaderboards for your country and your governorate. The app knows the difference between where you live and where you're from.

Write the questions

Nobody in Beirut can write a good question about your village — but you can. Submit it, get it approved, and the whole diaspora gets asked, credited to you.

Find the family you have not met

Claim someone as your mother, your brother, your cousin — they confirm it, and the phoenix on your profile lights another point. Nobody sees your family but the people in it.

Sahra

One hour a week, everyone at once. 8pm in Beirut is 3am in Sydney and 2pm in São Paulo — the same ten questions, and a board that moves while you are still playing.

Why “Finiqians”?

The Greeks called them Phoinikes — the same root gives us both Phoenician and phoenix. The people of Tyre, Sidon and Byblos crossed every sea and carried the alphabet with them; the bird burns and rises again. The crimson is Tyrian purple, the murex dye that made Tyre famous, and the gold is what they traded it for. A rising phoenix in those colours is not a logo so much as a family crest — for a people who keep leaving, and keep rising, and never stop being from here.
