Trivia Crack is a guessing game. Trivia refers to some trivial common sense knowledge, or "bean knowledge" in Japanese, and Crack is the suffix for a series of games from Etermax. Before that, they also produced the gambling game "Bingo Crack" and the crossword game "Word Crack". As the name suggests, "Trivia Crack" is a game that uses small knowledge to test and compete.

First of all, the game has two game modes that give players different options. Players can create a new game after opening the game and simply registering. Players can choose from two modes: Classic Mode and Challenge Mode. Both modes are asynchronous, the former is more similar to OMGPOP's "Draw and Guess", that is, players wait for the other party's response after taking their part, and both sides can continue a game for several days. The challenge mode is one-time gameplay. After completing the 12-question challenge that belongs to him, the player starts to wait until the other party also completes the game, and then decides the winner by comparing the score and completion time of the game.

This game gives players a certain space for self-challenge, making players more obsessed with this game. We know that human curiosity and competitiveness are eternal. So when Trivia Crack brought the two together, there were a lot of appeals. The classic model of the game does not compare the absolute number of questions a player answers correctly, but rather the number of character medals a player has earned. There are 6 topic categories in the game: Sports, Arts, Entertainment, History, Science, and Geography. In the classic mode, the player randomly selects the topic category of each answer in the form of a turntable. When players answer 3 questions correctly in a row, they answer a random classification question. If the player answers all 4 questions correctly, they can get a character medal. Conversely, if the player fails to answer a question correctly, the right to play is handed over to the other party until the other party answers incorrectly and returns the right to play.

The game of "Trivia Crack" continues in this way, providing a good social function. Problems in the game, like many such games before them, are generated by the player. But in Trivia Crack, the concept of community is particularly emphasized. The game includes a module called "Question Factory", through which players can submit questions based on selected topic categories. After the question is submitted, it is not the end. Other players can also evaluate your question, judge whether the answer to the question is wrong, and submit the correct answer to the question "like" or not. By voting in this way, it is both correct and popular. The problem will naturally rise like bubbling. In addition, the game's question community also has a very important function, players can translate questions they are interested in into other languages. This ensures that "Trivia Crack" can individually customize the answer content for users in some regions. In my opinion, this may be an important key to the success of this game.

However, the increase of the problemss also brought an increase in the difficulty of the game. But it doesn't matter if it's just a simple increase in difficulty, language and poor internet speeds are the biggest factors that affect non-native English-speaking players outside the United States. When it comes to Cambodia, you will think of Angkor Wat, but what if players don't know "Cambodia"? We all know that mad cow disease is caused by prions, but what is a "prion"? Not to mention that it takes more than half a minute to load to match a live person, playing a half-broken and abruptly disconnected network. All of this affects the player's experience.

In general, "Trivia Crack" uses problem communities, props, and social platform linkage to better control players' psychology. For players who are not worried about language problems and network problems, I recommend giving this game a try. Maybe there will be surprises.
