What is your favorite thing about trivia?

The title says it all. Bonus points for details and making it interesting.

I'll go first.

EDIT: I wrote mine and it is a bit much, lol. Feel free to write one line and make it, er, trivial! (It is the writer in me that likes to go on and on sometimes.) 😕

I made a Trivia Show Maker for Trivia Hosts

2 Upvotes

It's free to use and you can customize it many ways.

I'm still trying to figure out how the incorporate more options for the "Final Round" as many Hosts use many unique techniques... but i think there's a lot of potential here. I'd love if anyone had any ideas for feedback.

You can find it at Fat City Entertainment in the nav bar or the Trivia Store.

Hi everyone! I’m an indie Android developer and I recently launched my first trivia game, Trivia Knowledge Booster.

2 Upvotes

I’ve been working on it for a while as a small solo project. The game is focused on quick trivia rounds, different categories, hints, coins, and a friendly owl-themed design.

I joined this subreddit because I’m interested in trivia apps, quiz game design, question balancing, and learning from other people building or playing trivia games.

Since links are not allowed here, I won’t share a link, but the app is available on Google Play if anyone wants to search for Trivia Knowledge Booster.

I’d really appreciate feedback from trivia fans and other developers, especially on question difficulty, category balance, and features people would like to see in a trivia game.

Built a Jeopardy-style practice tool, looking for beta testers

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been a long-time fan of Jeopardy! and always wished there was a better way to actually train for it, not just passively watch or do random trivia quizzes.

So I built something...it’s a simple web app where you can practice Jeopardy-style clues, work on recall speed, and get a feel for how you’d perform under game conditions.

It’s still early, but functional, and I’m looking for a small group of people who’d be open to trying it out and giving honest feedback.

If you’re someone who’s ever thought about auditioning, or just enjoys sharpening your trivia skills, I’d really value your input.

Happy to share access with anyone interested, just comment or DM me.

Thanks!

Are “higher/lower” trivia games still fun, or too predictable?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been playing a few trivia apps lately and noticed a pattern with “higher/lower” style games.

At first they feel super addictive, but after a while it starts to feel predictable or based on gut feeling more than actual knowledge.

Do you think this format still works long-term?

What makes a trivia game actually “sticky” for you:

- difficulty?

- variety of topics?

- competition / leaderboards?

- something else?

I’ve been experimenting with a version based on real-world data (countries, stats, etc.), and I’m trying to figure out what actually makes people come back.

Curious to hear your thoughts 👀

I built a free browser trivia site. What would make you return every day?

5 Upvotes

I built TriviaHub because I wanted one place where I could play a quick daily trivia challenge or choose a longer topic-based quiz when I had more time.

It is completely free, works in the browser and does not require an installation.

I am currently trying to understand what actually makes people return to a trivia game:

• Better daily questions
• Streaks and score history
• More specialised topics
• Playing and comparing scores with friends
• Something else entirely

I would genuinely appreciate honest feedback, especially about the difficulty and question quality.

The site is playtriviahub DOT com. I have written it this way because clickable promotional links are not allowed here.

Looking for Trivia Feedback

2 Upvotes

Hi trivia fans!
I've been working with my podcast team to launch a trivia game starting on the web first before we move to a full on mobile experience.

The first version is out on our website and designed for a mobile experience.
I was hoping you would take the time to give it a quick test run. I have given very little context on the site as I want to make sure the user experience is as seamless as possible.

Please be sure to give it a try when you can and let me know what you think in the comments and the areas in which we can improve.
Oh and if you have a fun question that you think would make a good fit please share in the comments and we would definitely add it ASAP

Check it out on our website -thesidelinepodcast.com

I learned how to craft good trivia questions by writing hundreds of questions for my app — The Daily 5 Retro Trivia Quiz

3 Upvotes

I built a retro trivia app that focuses on a different decade every week. The app launched 11 months ago. Tomorrow the 1980s begin. I consider a good quiz to be one that is fun, takes you back, and doesn’t have people complaining that the answers are wrong or fuzzy.

Here is what I came up with for Monday, October 19, 2026. Each bolded question has one correct answer, which I share at the end of this article.

What color were the Smurfs?
Alabaster
Blue
Green and Yellow
Pink

What was the closest city to the Chernobyl disaster that had over one million people in it?
Kiev
Moscow
Odessa
Pripyat

When did Bryan Adams get his first real six-string?
Age 16½
Long, long ago
Summer of ’69
When JFK was taken

Who wrote the best-selling “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” a collection of short essays filled with everyday wisdom?
Barbara Walters
Kurt Vonnegut
Robert Fulghum
Stephen King

Which Enterprise crew member became Data’s lover in the episode “The Naked Now”?
Beverly Crusher
Deanna Troi
Seven of Nine
Tasha Yar

That’s it. Does it feel ’80s to you? That is what I care about most.

Is the quiz too hard? Or too easy?

Is the variety good?

I try to balance my quizzes so they cover many topics. This one goes “pop culture” (smurfs), “news” (Chernobyl), “music” (Bryan Adams), “literature” (best-selling book), and “TV” (Star Trek).

No time is wasted over-explaining stuff. Smurfs are more than just blue, and Bryan Adams literally did not get his first real six-string as an infant… but you get the idea. This is “pub style” trivia, not Jeopardy! or a court of law.

Sometimes my questions cut right to the chase, and sometimes they have some texture. Like the Robert Fulghum question could have been just:

Who wrote “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”?

But I thought it sounded better with some details. So I beefed it up a little.

I like to have a wordy question or two to act as a speed bump. The app is timed, so the faster you answer, the higher your score. Making competitors read a bit makes it more challenging and slows ’em down.

This is necessary because there are some real speed demons that play every single day. I need some speed bumps.

For the Star Trek question I don’t mention the TV show’s name, or even the words “Star Trek.” You either know the answer, or can figure it out, or you can’t. Dems da breaks.

Even though the quiz is an ’80s one, I never mention a specific year in any of the questions. When I began writing quizzes, almost a year ago, I was including years or even specific calendar dates frequently. But as my quiz-writing evolved I decided this detail was often superfluous.

After all, before the quiz kicks off players are told what decade is being featured.

Sometimes an event or cultural phenomenon might technically fall outside of the decade in question, but it still fits. Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) ran from 1987 to 1994. So it was split between decades. But it feels more ’80s to me. Maybe because it launched in the ’80s it feels anchored there? I go with my gut.

Feeling is a big part of this.

For quiz-writers and quiz-players alike.

Making a person who lived it feel the decade, and taking them back, is my goal. I want the app to be nostalgic. Though making someone who was born later think, “Yeah, that is what it must have been like back then,” works, too.

But heaven help any young whipper-snappers playing my app. It specifically targets Gen-X, and I make no apologies for that. Many questions will be freebies for players of my own vintage and head-scratchers to the younger folk.

For example: the Bryan Adams question. Most of us that lived it will be singing “Summer of ‘69” in our heads when we read that question. Easy-peasy. But someone born later won’t have a clue about it, or what a Five and Dime is, or what was so special about 1969, anyway?

Tomorrow I will see how this quiz plays out. The app let’s users give “Likes” on the Answer screen. Also, many of my friends play the game daily, too, so when I write a banger, I will get a couple of texts saying “nice quiz.” My wife tells me what she thinks, too. I am usually sitting beside her when she does her “Daily 5.“ Afterward we play Wordle together, then a couple other apps. It’s our routine.

Here is to the 1980s! 🍻

If you lived them you know what an interesting time they were. If you want to revisit them, or just like trivia, the app is in my Reddit profile. (No know no links are allowed in this community.)

As me any questions about the app or quiz-writing. I love chatting about it.  ✌️

Answers: (1) Blue; (2) Kiev; (3) Summer of ’69; (4) Robert Fulghum; (5) Tasha Yar

Live matches or turn-based: which do you actually keep playing?

2 Upvotes

I handle marketing for LearnClash, which is turn-based: you play your round, and the other person plays theirs whenever they're free. Old QuizUp players often say what they miss is live matches, where you both answer at the same time.

Live feels more exciting, but it only works if someone is online when you are. Turn-based fits a busy day better, but you lose some of the tension. Which one do you actually stick with, and why?

New update for my trivia game 🧠🎮

2 Upvotes

I’ve been working really hard on my indie game Trivia Knowledge Booster Quiz, and I recently released a new update!

It’s been quite a journey building and improving it on my own. The game now has Image Trivia, classic trivia, Daily Challenges, rewards, themes and avatars, and I’m still working on making it better.

Just wanted to share this little milestone with fellow trivia fans and developers here. 😄 I’d also love to hear what features you guys enjoy most in trivia games!

I made a party game where you guess entries from top-100 lists.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just released my first game, 100 Categories, on Android.

The idea is simple: you get a ranked top-100 list, like Box Office Top Lifetime Grosses or Most Popular Anime, and you try to name what's on it.

The points you score equal the rank, so Attack on Titan at #1 on the anime list gives you just 1 point, but some deep cut at #87 gives you 87. Everyone knows the top answers, but the real points are lower down the list.

Modes:

  • Classic: teams take turns guessing over several rounds. Great for parties.

  • Blitz: 60 seconds per team to name as many as you can, and 3 wrong guesses ends your turn.

  • Daily Top 10: a new solo puzzle every day. Name the top 10 with only 5 strikes, and keep your streak going.

Categories cover football, NBA, music, movies, anime, geography, social media and more, and new lists are added regularly.

I'd really love feedback, and tell me which categories you'd want added!

Link : (to respect the sub-reddit's rules, you can find it in the Play Store called 100 Categories: Trivia Game, or you can search com.categories.zkokatech because I just published it today it might not appear yet in searches)

I built a web geography game with zero labels to test how well people actually know the world map. Looking for feedback!

2 Upvotes

I wanted to introduce myself to the community! I’m a solo developer, and I recently built a browser game called Geopinpoint.

The main hook is pretty straightforward but surprisingly humbling: you get a trivia prompt (like a major landmark, city, or event location), and you have to pinpoint its exact location on a completely unlabeled world map. The closer your pin is, the more points you get.

Since this community is all about trivia apps, I would love to get your thoughts on it. If you're interested in testing it out and giving me some honest feedback on the UI or gameplay loop, let me know in the comments and I can share the name/details! (Keeping links out of the main post to respect the rules).

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

My geo quiz game with innovative categories - any ideas?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'd like to share my new geo quiz app with you named "Geo Madness".

It’s a trivia game that lets you pinpoint all kinds of places / things / creatures on a 3D globe.

So far the game features a large variety of categories. Some are rather unique, such as:

- Animal species ranges
- Celebrities' birthplaces
- Landmarks (from famous buildings to things like the Titanic wreck)

But it also includes classic geo challenges:

- Cities
- Countries
- States (US for now, more coming soon!)
- Mountains
- Rivers

Most categories are closest-guess-takes-the-point, but some categories that are about polygons (countries and states) are a-hit-gets-a-point.

Do you guys have suggestions for further categories, especially unusual ones, that might be fun?

I’d be very grateful for general feedback as well.

I built a casual web puzzle game where you claim a hex board by naming players - would love to hear what you guys think of the concept!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Like most of you here, my morning routine usually involves checking the box scores and then playing Wordle, Poeltl, or whatever daily puzzle game. Over the last few months, I decided to channel that into a hobby project and built a daily browser game that mixes all of that with basketball knowledge.

HexHoops is basketball trivia played on a hex board. Every hex is tagged with a category — "Lakers," "All-Star," "25+ PPG," that kind of thing — and you claim a tile by typing a player who fits it. 

My main goal is to get feedback from people with basketball knowledge on the core concept itself:

  • The Concept: If you like Wordle-style games or hoop grids, what makes those games "stick" for you? Does a court-positioning mechanic sound like a fun daily challenge?

  • Ideas for features: What real NBA concepts would be coolest to add to a daily puzzle format? (Different player eras, hot streaks, defensive variables, etc.?)

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make a daily basketball game truly engaging for hardcore fans. Let's discuss!

Trivia apps with gameshow-like feel?

3 Upvotes

I came to this sub years ago during the HQ/Joyride phase and I enjoyed that era. While I suppose people won't work to host trivia games, AI hosts can be created on an endless schedule of gamees potentially.

I started building out an episodic music trivia game, but it's far from done and not cross-platform. Has anyone creted Trivia app sto evoke toe HQ/Joyride feel, even if it is AI hosts? Can't really play a Trivia Crack or anything like that these days because I was so immersed in the experience of HQ and knock-offs.

I still don’t understand why nobody replaced QuizUp properly

I was genuinely obsessed with QuizUp back then, so me and my co-founder recently started building something inspired by that feeling called Quelo.

Still early-stage, but would genuinely love suggestions from old QuizUp players on what made QuizUp special for you and what you feel modern trivia apps still get wrong.
