Trivia Machine Review

Trivia Machine isn't an especially remarkable game of trivia, but the sheer number of questions makes it worth the price of admission for trivia buffs.

Trivia Machine is a fast-paced multiple-choice trivia game with more than 7,000 questions, online scoreboards, and an element of strategy. At the beginning of each game you're given a certain number of turns, and the game is over when you run out of turns. Each round, three categories appear at the top of the screen. Question categories are the standard sports, science, movies, history, and such. The questions get harder from left to right, but they also come with progressively bigger rewards. You can choose any of the three questions, and if you get it right, you get some money. However, if you get the answer wrong, you'll lose the same amount of money you could have won. Once you have a certain amount of money, you can move on to the next round. There are also bonuses, like double points, extra turns, and a lightning round where you try to answer 10 questions in 60 seconds to score bonus points. When you're all done playing, you can check your ranking against all the other players online. Trivia Machine is your basic no-frills trivia game, but it wins out in the end simply because of its huge catalog of questions and its online ranking system.
