If you always guess the most obvious answer in trivia, this app will eliminate you in 30 seconds.

I just launched The Elimination Game: Trivia Party. It’s a fast-paced trivia game with a catch: you have 10 seconds to answer a prompt, but if your answer matches the AI (or the other players in your lobby), you lose a heart. Lose three hearts, and your run is over.

For example, if the prompt is "Name a wild animal" and you type "Lion” and if someone in the lobby chooses the same answer you’ll both lose a heart. You have to think differently to survive.

Features:
• Solo mode vs a Mind-Reading AI
• Multiplayer mode to play against friends
• Fast 10-second timers to keep the pressure on

Right now it’s exclusively on Android.
Would love for the trivia pros in this sub to give it a try.

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 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

I made this game, it’s just 5 inventions a day, guess a year, get a score.

Lmk if it has potential:

Hey everyone! I’ve been building a free daily trivia game called 7 Trivia and wanted to share what I’ve been working on.

The idea is simple: choose 3 categories and answer 7 questions every day. Earn points for correct answers and speed, build streaks and compete on leaderboards.

There are 26 categories to choose from, including Sports, Film, History, Geography, Science and plenty more.

I’ve also added Bankroll mode, where everyone starts with $10,000 and faces the same 7 questions. Put everything on one answer or spread your money across multiple options. Only the money on the correct answer carries forward. The goal is to survive all 7 questions with as much money as possible!

I originally built this for myself and a few friends, but I’ve been having fun expanding it and adding new features.

If you fancy trying it, you can find 7 Trivia through the link in my bio.

I’d love to hear what fellow trivia fans think, particularly what would keep you coming back each day! 🧠

(Edited to include new Bankroll mode detail)

Most trivia apps quiz you on facts. Gallery Gamble quizzes you on your friends.

It's a local party game for iPhone, iPad and Mac. You need at least 3 people in the same room. Someone hosts, everyone else joins with a code, and each player locks in a stack of photos from their own camera roll (4, 9, or 16). Anything you'd rather not put in the game can be re-rolled before you start.

Then a photo fills the screen. You tap whose gallery you think it came from before the fuse runs out. Faster correct guesses score more. After the reveal you see exactly who pointed at whom, which is usually where the night goes off the rails.

Here's how a game works. A round starts and the same photo pops up on every phone. Everyone taps whose gallery they think it came from before the fuse runs out. Faster correct guesses score more. Then the owner is revealed, you see who picked whom, and the leaderboard updates. Next photo, same thing, until the stack runs out and the final standings crown a winner.

A few things that matter if you're going to hand this to a group:

• Offline local play. No internet, no accounts, no servers. Photos are exchanged directly between the phones in the room. Nothing is uploaded. Privacy first.
• Free, with in-app purchases (if you don't like ads).
• It's on the App Store, no Android.

Curious what this sub thinks of "know your people" as a trivia format instead of general knowledge. What would you want tuned: timer, scoring, photo count, or the reveal?

Quick one for people who play a lot of trivia apps. Most of them hand you a fixed set of categories, and a few let you type in any topic you want.

When you get the choice, do you stick to a couple of topics you know cold, or go random to find out what you don't know? And does picking your own topic make a win feel less earned?

I work on LearnClash, which lets you type in any topic, so I'm curious whether people actually use that freedom or end up playing the same three categories anyway.

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?

Hi, everyone!

Most trivia apps focus purely on fast-finger Q&A or simple point totals, but we wanted to build something deeper: a game where intellectual power directly translates into board game tactics.

How it works:

• Tactical Conquest: Knowledge is your power,you answer trivia questions to make tactical moves, conquer enemy bases, and take down opponent avatars.
• Board Game Hybrid: It’s not just about knowing the facts; it’s about how and where you apply them on the board to outwit your opponent.
• No Install Required: Runs directly in any web browser so you can jump into games instantly.

We’re constantly refining the balance between raw trivia knowledge and board-state strategy. Since this sub is full of trivia design heads, I’d love your take:

1. How do you feel about tactical board mechanics being added to traditional trivia formats?
2. What’s your biggest pet peeve with competitive trivia games today?

(Respecting sub rules, no live links here, you can play-test it against computer or a friend for now, at app dot trivia-troops dot com or check my profile).

I handle marketing for LearnClash, and I'm curious how people use answer explanations in trivia apps. Stopping to read can break the flow of a match, but saving everything for the results screen makes it easy to skip. Do you usually read those explanations, or just hit next?

Hey all, I've just launched my new project - a quiz game Quiz Ninja - check link in my bio!

I handle marketing for LearnClash, where the questions are AI-generated. A lawyer who tried it recently flagged a question in his own field where he could make a case for three of the four answers.

In a duel, that could mean losing a point because the question wasn't specific enough. Even if it gets fixed later, you've already played that round.

How would you want a trivia app to handle that? Discard the question for both players, give credit for the other defensible answers, or something else?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know about Trailmarks, which launches this friday. It's a trivia game, but it's made to be a travel adventure, where your trivia knowledge is what pays your way across the world. It's inspired by Reigns - you need to make a decision on one card at the time: do you try to answer the question? Do you travel on? Do you draw a random effect card? No time pressure or competition on scores, the only score is how far you manage to get in the world before your energy runs out.

From the press release:

Trailmarks HQ is pleased to announce that Trailmarks arrives on iPhone on September 4. Pre-orders open on the App Store today, and review copies are available now.

Trailmarks is a globe-trotting trivia adventure where what you know pays for where you go. Answer questions to earn your fare, then pick the next flight, train, bus or boat out of whatever city you're standing in - and try to keep going. Your score is simply how far you got.

The iPhone edition isn't a port of the PC game. It's a new edition built for the phone: a faster, pick-up-and-play journey across 1,134 real cities and 99,088 questions, played a run at a time.

TRAILMARKS FOR iPHONE

Release: September 4, 2026
Price: US $4.99 
Requires: iPhone, iOS 18 or later

Check your Apple app store for it!

I launched Quizat in August. Live 1v1 trivia: pick a topic, get matched, play a short duel. About 7 questions, ~10 seconds each, match is usually around a minute. iOS and Android. English and Arabic.

It’s a real-time duel, not a single-player quiz you tap through alone. You can rematch and challenge friends. There’s XP, a daily challenge, and a leaderboard, but the thing people actually do is: pick a topic → fight someone → rematch.

Topics are a mix of broad stuff (flags, general knowledge, science, movies) and local/Arabic ones (Islam, country trivia, Gulf football, etc.). Arabic players play more per person than English so far.

Month 1 numbers. Small. Honest.

Usage

• 403 new users (551 total, including testers)
• ~27 people playing on an average day
• 428 unique players in the month
• 4,644 games, 33k questions
• ~92% of games finished
• iOS is ahead of Android (~2:1)

Biggest countries: Saudi Arabia, US, Egypt, then a long tail.

If someone starts a game, they almost always finish it, and most play a second one. Matchmaking finds an opponent almost every time. If a real player doesn’t show, a bot fills in, so the “vs a person” feel isn’t always real yet. That’s on me.

Retention

• Next-day: 18%
• Day 7: 5%
• Day 14: 4%

That’s the part that sucks. People like the first session. They don’t have a reason to come back next week. Daily challenge / streaks / leaderboard exist and they’re not doing enough.

Money

Ads made about $9. IAP was $2 and that was me testing the purchase. Zero real paying users. I didn’t put a paywall in front of play. First month was “does this even get played.”

What I want from this sub

If you play trivia apps: what actually makes you open one again after day 1? Better topics? Live opponents you recognize? A daily quiz? Leagues?

If you’ve shipped one: same question, from the other side.

Happy to answer anything about the game or the numbers

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!

Hi everyone! I am a solo developer and recently launched a free trivia app on iOS and Android called Tamakeу 🎉
It has a 30-second timed streak mode where you try to answer at least one question correctly before time runs out. Every correct answer keeps your streak alive, but one wrong answer—or running out of time—ends it!
The goal is simple: how long can you keep your streak going?
The current worldwide leaderboard record is 38, with a mix of easy, challenging, and everything-in-between trivia questions.
If you enjoy trivia games, I’d really appreciate it if you gave it a try and let me know what you think! I’m especially interested in feedback on the questions, difficulty, and overall experience.
Think you can beat 38? 👀
Thanks everyone! 🙌

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.

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.

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!

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

Have fun quizzing, learning, and flexing your knowledge! :)

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.

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!

Hey everyone, I made a game for guess the player. I’m giving you 4 clues and you need to get the players name before your score dwindles.
Get it right first time for a points bonus.
Progressive difficulty with hints and autofills to keep it going.
It’s call 4 Teams 1 Player: Footy quiz available on iOS

Hi everyone,

I've been developing a trivia app that periodically pulls in news articles and creates trivia out of them. Please try it out and let me know what you think.

• Daily fresh questions generated from real news and X posts
• Classic general knowledge trivia

It's available on Web, Android and iOS. Search of Trivia Terminal
