Dominate your opponents in this game of speed, strategy, knowledge and wits by answering questions in your expert category.
Trivie is a trivia game where your expertise in a category could win you the game. Each game of Trivie is played in four rounds. The first round category is your choice, the second round category is your opponent’s choice, the third round is comprised of questions from both category choices and the fourth round, Final Trivie, has one final question for both players to answer and the category choice will be determined by which player bid the highest.
Use one of three power-ups to give your score an extra boost each round. The three power-up options include Streaker, where you are rewarded bonus points for compiling a streak of correct answers, Hyperdrive, where you can earn more points with a shorter time limit to answer questions and Second Chance, where you will have up to two chances to answer each question in a round. The player with the most points at the end of the fourth round will win the game.
You can choose to play against a Facebook friend, Google+ friend, someone from your contact list, a random player or you can simply search for the player you want to compete against. New categories are added frequently to the game and some of the newest specialty subjects include “Frights & Delights”, “Breaking Bad”, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Frida Kahlo”. This game will also keep track of your personal overall stats including your average game score, average round score, best game score and questions correct; and you can see how you rank against hundreds of other players in the Leaderboard tab upon linking your Facebook and/or Google Plus account to the game.
What makes this game stand out from most trivia games is both players have an equal chance of winning by playing their strengths through selecting their category of expertise. This is the same element that made game shows like $64,000 Question as appealing as they were back in their hey-day. There are a wide variety of questions to be answered to reduce the likelihood of running into repeat questions and the developers have done a great job with the question writing and difficulty, as well as providing supplementary fun facts pertaining some of the answers.
Trivie is easy to play, has great sound effects and a nice smooth jazz soundtrack for the game’s main theme and is fun for everyone (and I mean everyone) to play. This game is free to download in the Google Play and iTunes app store and would be a great app to add to your game collection, if you have one.
