Colour me as quite surprised and I don’t know how often I’ll play it after the initial launch but for a very quick burst of quiz Triviaverse<\/strong> on Netflix, which launched yesterday, is actually pretty good – basically three minutes of rapid fire multiple choice questions that get increasingly difficult after each minute (that’s right, it’s the The National Lottery The Third Degree<\/strong> reboot the nation has been crying out for), answering multiple questions correct in a row offers a streak bonus (and this is the key to a high score – you want to be earning 200pts a question rather than the basic 100pts), it has a slightly trippy background playing in the background, the music gets more exciting and intense as the clock runs down… it’s genuinely quite a fun quiz experience (right up until you get hit with a US sports question, at any rate). It even keeps basic stats like your high score and best and worst categories in the background. you can play against a chum sitting next to you on the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issues? There’s an argument that the harder rounds should be worth more points, as it is you’ll score biggest in the initial minute and there’s certainly a temptation to end early if you get a bad run of questions in the early round. It’s a shame there’s no official way to post your scores anywhere (my best score is 4800 if you want a target to beat). I’ve had one repeat question so far, and I’ve answered around 250 (around 40 questions a set which I accept is fairly fast) so I don’t know how large the database is, but I don’t think it’s keeping track of which questions you’ve seen which is a shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s certainly a more successful thing for me than Trivia Quest<\/strong>, and plays a better game than Cat Burglar<\/strong> (although Cat Burglar<\/em> has other things going for it). Good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
