How to Play

Welcome to TrivQuiz: Pub Edition

Five rounds. One champion. This isn't your average quiz app—it's a sophisticated pub quiz experience designed to make you feel cultured, not just knowledgeable. Every question passes our "Bar Test": un-Googleable, sticky, and fair across London, New York, and Sydney.

The Bar Test

1.
Un-Googleable — Requires thinking, not keyword searching
2.
Sticky — Interesting enough to tell a friend at a bar
3.
Fair — A smart person from any major city has a chance

The Five Rounds

A cultured mix of general knowledge spanning history, literature, science, geography, and "smart" pop culture. Think The New Yorker meets Vanity Fair.
