Watch this: App of the Day: How Aussie Are You?

Welcome to CNET Australia's App of the Day, where you can see some of the coolest, silliest and most useful apps in action.

Have you ever wondered exactly how much you know about the Aussie way of life? A new quiz game lets you test your knowledge and earn the big bucks (note: you can't actually earn any real bucks) by answering Australian questions. There are four difficulty modes — Tourist, Overseas Student, Wannabe Aussie and Aussie Citizen — across five capital cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide (sorry, Canberra and Hobart; we don't know why you didn't make the cut). A wrong answer gets you zapped by lightning; five zaps, and it's game over.

The questions are actually pretty good, and we like the way the gameplay is put together. You run through the city answering questions; if you make it through without dying of electric shock, you can move on to the next.
