Puzzle and word
Trivia
Games that ask you questions about the world, in categories, and score you on what you know and how fast you answer.
Also called: quiz game, quiz, trivia game, general knowledge
What defines it
- Multiple-choice or typed questions, grouped by category.
- Play against friends or strangers, or solo against the clock.
- Rounds that are quick and easy to pick up and put down.
- Question packs, power-ups or lifelines as the usual extras.
Trivia is one of the oldest formats in games, borrowed from quiz shows and pub quizzes. Phones made it social, with turn-based duels that run over days.
The content is the product, so trivia games live or die on the quality and freshness of their questions.
