Games such as Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s BattleGround (PUBG) have enjoyed massive success from the battle royale format. And now it’s being adapted to quizzes. I’ve been playing Trivia Royale for a week, and I’m hooked to it. It’s not your classic 100-people in a game royale format. Instead, nearly 1,000 people join a quiz battle at the start. You’ll have to play a one-on-one quiz against other players to survive multiple rounds and come out on top as a winner. You have to answer five questions to win a round against your opponent; quicker you answer the question, more points you get. And since the last question offers you double points, the game gets very intense. A lot of times, I won because I answered the last question quickly, or built up a lead over the first four questions. If you end up winning one of the ‘Royales,’ you can hang out in a special lounge with other players who’ve won at least one trophy. There’s also a section in the app that lets you play quizzes with anyone on particular topics such as geography, movies, sports, logos, and tech. I’m not a massive fan of PUBG or Fortnite, I play those games once in a while. But I played Trivia Royale many times in the week, and I can see myself playing it more over the next few days. Teatime Games is releasing Trivia Royale for iOS for now, with the Android version in works.
