Repeated Questions

    I’m with you, Eric. This is the best online trivia game I’ve been able to find with the least repetition, but they’ve been around long enough now to improve the quality. Argentinian company Emax started out with a soccer “futbol” trivia game. This explains all the South American players. With all the questions supplied by and approved by players globally, we’re probably lucky it isn’t worse. Emax should at least give us a simple method to flag bad questions/answers. Maybe reward us for those corrections instead of rewarding the suppliers of incorrect information. Either carrots or sticks need to be applied.

    What about the Triviathon categories? Again, Harry Potter, Gilmore Girls? - who the heck watched that?, Vampire Diaries? I try on some of them, but usually only get a question or two right. I guess I need to watch Harry Potter 🤷🏻‍♀️

    And don't forget K-Pop

    Trivia Crack puts the responsibility (i.e. blame/credit) for question/answer quality on the players. I just checked and I have correctly answered over 300K questions with 80% efficiency. No other online trivia game has nearly the variety of TC. Everything from pop trivia to scientific minutiae. Nobody has that kind of encyclopedic knowledge. Anyone who knows the character arcs in Full/Fuller House will likely not know the cellular transformation process of ATP or vice versa. However we should be able to agree that we don’t need hundreds of questions about Full House nor that nuclear scientific knowledge is interesting to 99.5% of players in this game. Trivia is a popular game in bars. Not so popular in meetings at Jet Propulsion Labs. Games must be fun, first and foremost.

    Not to mention the ever increasing number of wrong answers! Facts can easily be checked on the Internet! How are so many wrong answers getting through approval?

    That is absolutely the most frustrating aspect of this game. When you know an answer is correct & you don’t get credit for it. Especially so if you’re competing with someone. They are getting more the “norm” & you can only report them them in 1 game no matter how many times they’ve been asked to make a change. Some of games now are too fast paced to be able to take a screenshot so you can report it. One more complaint & I’m done. When the pictures it shows doesn’t match the correct answer!! I’ve even quit reporting all of them that are intentionally wrong & are passed - when 3 of the answers are dumber than dirt, so everyone will know the correct answer 🙄 I don’t think things will ever change in this regard & I do enjoy playing some of the new games they’ve added, so it’s not all bad

    I’ve always wondered if there’s an “approval club.” A group of players who just automatically approve each other’s  suggested questions without even reading them to get the reward. Also there’s a button to report misspellings. I don’t even bother with misspelled wrong answers because they R actually wrong, but misspelled places and names cannot be “right” by definition. That means the ‘author’ was too lazy to look up the spelling and all the approvers were too dumb or too corrupt to notice.

    I only get that option on my iPad; not on my iPhone. I hope this helps.

    Since Tcrack is always asking for screenshots, I would think they’d make it easy for everyone to do it. Of course I’d also think they’d make it easy for us to address all the content problems, corrupt players, etc.

    I guess I misunderstood when you said you don’t have the screenshot option. You meant  you don’t get the option in the forum, but you do have the option somewhere else?

    Yes that is correct. I can't screenshot something into the forum

    BTW, this guy Ron Cagle authors a ton of questions that I’ve seen and I have no problem with him. His trivia is true trivia, spelled properly and mostly interesting. I wish there were more like him.

    On the other hand Wisconsin has more than twice as many breweries as Vermont, but the poor questions continue to pile up.
