Trivia Royale
Free with IAP
A couple of years ago an innovative Trivia game, HQ, roared through mobile with its live Trivia feature that emulated a pub-style experience of live Trivia with a time limit. The bonus was that the ultimate winner (out of hundreds of thousands) would win a cash prize. Over time, however, the production heavy team were not able to sustain this enterprise and the app eventually closed.
“Winning a Royale bestows your avatar with a shiny gold piece as well as access to the “Royale Lounge” to chat and compete with other winners.”
In its wake however, several less ambitious – which has you competing against 1024 other players in a knockout tournament to be the king or queen (complete with crown) of Trivia. From the beginning the app screams polish, with great sounds, animations, quick matchmaking and a quirky little feature on Apple devices called “Game Face” which uses your phone’s Face ID cameras to map your facial expressions to opponents.
