Trivia Crack: Brain Quiz Games

Trivia Crack is a quiz game from etermax, also known in some regions by its original Spanish name, Preguntados. You answer multiple-choice questions across six subjects: art, science, sports, entertainment, geography and history. In the classic mode, you spin a wheel that lands on a category, answer a question and try to collect a character icon, or crown, for each subject. The first player to collect all six wins. You can play against friends or against random opponents, taking turns at your own pace.

How a match works

When you answer correctly, you keep your turn and spin again. If you answer wrongly, your opponent gets a turn. Landing on a crown question gives you a chance to win that subject’s crown. If you get it wrong, you can try again later. Matches can last for days if both players play occasionally, which makes the game suitable for relaxed competition with friends. Power-ups, such as options that remove wrong answers, can help with difficult questions.

Other modes and features

Besides the classic wheel, the game offers additional quiz formats, tests, word-style puzzles and board-style modes in which you roll dice and collect properties. The details of these modes change over time, so check the current version for what is available. A community feature called the Question Factory lets players submit and review questions, which helps keep the content varied. Leaderboards and rewards give extra motivation for competitive players.

Tips to improve

Notice which subjects you are strongest in and use power-ups on the ones you find hard. Read each question and all four options carefully, since the wrong answers are often designed to look right. Over time you will remember facts that come up repeatedly. If you want to learn rather than only win, take a moment after a mistake to look up the correct answer. This turns the game into a gentle general-knowledge refresher.

Accuracy and cultural differences

Like any large quiz collection, some questions can be outdated, regional or debatable. Because many questions are written by the community, errors can occur. Treat the game as entertainment and verify important facts from reliable sources.

Ads and purchases

The game is free to download. It uses advertising and offers optional purchases for coins, power-ups and other extras. Some modes may encourage you to collect and spend in-game rewards, so decide in advance whether you are willing to buy anything. For younger players, supervise online matches and purchases, and use parental controls.

Who it suits

It suits people who like quizzes, general knowledge and friendly competition. It is also a good game for families who want to challenge one another from different places. Players who dislike ads or who want a purely offline game may be disappointed, since it relies on online play.

How it compares

Compared with Brain Test, it tests knowledge rather than lateral thinking. Compared with Words With Friends, it covers many topics rather than language only.

Our take

Trivia Crack is a lively, social quiz game with enough variety to keep it fresh.
