Quizdom - King of Quiz
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
In QUIZDOM - KING OF QUIZ, players compete against each other in rounds, answering a series of questions in one of two selected topics (out of 19). Questions are asked four at a time over four rounds, and you have only 18 seconds to answer, adding a layer of urgency to the game. The more questions you get correct and the faster you play, the more points you earn, which puts you higher on the global rankings (and in those against your friends). Players can challenge any other player to a round, and can set up friends lists of gamers to test their skills against.
Is It Any Good?
A good trivia game against friends can be a lot of fun, but the trouble is, you need to have friends playing the same game. Quizdom - King of Quiz might have a huge number of players, but what we found as we tried the game is that few, if any, of them want to compete against a stranger. That means if you want to really enjoy Quizdom, you need to use a social media account to try to find friends who are playing. If none are, you're going to have a real hard time finishing a game.
If you can find someone who will complete all four rounds, though, Quizdom is a solid game. The questions are challenging and the topics are varied. It's less polished than some of the other trivia games on the market, but ultimately the games are about the quizzes. But because those questions are so challenging, it's a game that will likely be far above the heads of younger players or people that don't have a decent set of friends willing to play along with them.

Did we miss something on diversity?
