Star Weaver lights a handful of stars in order, then goes quiet and waits. You tap them back the same way, and if you get it right the shape stitches itself into a constellation and hangs in the sky.
It grows one star at a time, so it starts easy on purpose. When you eventually lose the thread, and everyone does, the round just settles and offers you another. Nothing is taken away.
It is a sequence memory game rather than a quiz. There is nothing to learn beforehand and no astronomy knowledge involved. You are only ever holding a short pattern for a few seconds.
Sessions run two, three or five minutes, and the sky keeps whatever you wove while you were there.
