No for kids

They game was so fun and educational! We played the game at least 3 times a week. I appreciate the time and effort gone into creating it. I give the app 5 starts for the intelligence that went into the game. However rackers have been able to manipulate the game and ruing the fun. My 13 and 8 year old sons were sent a private message asking if they would like to see a 23 year old girls naked. Absolutely disgraceful. Very disappointed. Unfortunately I’m going to delete the app. I’d like to be updated once security measures are in place.

Too easy plus too Obscure material

Who would know the actor who played a secondary character in a television program no one watches. How many people know what players or teams played in the super bowl when you reference the number not the year? Sports and Entertainment are really badly written.

What’s It About?

Players answer a series of trivia questions in an effort to collect character "crowns." Answer three questions correctly and you're able to attempt to add a character to your collection (by answering a question in that category). Win six crowns and you've won the game. When you miss a question, your (human) opponent gets a chance to answer as many questions as she or he can. You can play against strangers but are unable to message each other through the game, reducing the threat that strangers could make contact with minors. Users also can submit their own questions.

Is It Any Good?

Kids say (10):

Taking a competitive page from Words with Friends and Candy Crush Saga, TRIVIA CRACK puts a winning formula on a new type of game. Answering trivia questions on the whole can be a fun way to test yourself and maybe learn something too, but when you make it competitive, it raises the stakes and makes it a lot more fun. In all honesty, there's nothing particularly new here, but the game is so well-designed it makes the lack of innovation less noticeable. It's a wonderfully social game that will push you to scour your brain for information, rather than simply match three similarly colored items.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
