It doesn&#039;t really have written questions, though. Instead, it serves up a prompt and then two possible choices. The right choice is a response that has some relation to the prompt. For example, a challenge last week had the prompt &#8220;Sic semper tyrannis&#8221; and listed &#8220;Virginia&#8221; and &#8220;Maine&#8221; underneath. Virginia is the right choice as sic semper tyrannis are written on the Virginia state seal and flag.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which answer you pick, <em>Trivia Linked<\/em> then uses the correct answer from the previous screen as the prompt for the next question. Your goal every day is to get all 12 &#8220;links&#8221; between these prompts correct.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just the facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part of what has kept my attention with <em>Trivia Linked<\/em> is its &#8220;question&#8221; design, or rather lack thereof. In addition to having a clever structure that has you basically word associate through terms and phrases, there&#039;s an added benefit having virtually no ambiguity when it comes to providing answers. This is a seemingly small thing, but it often is what ends up putting my off of other trivia games in most cases.<\/p>\n<p>As for the variety of the questions themselves, I could stand to see different realms of trivia explored a bit more. In my time with the game, it seems like a lot of challenges have at least one link about identifying some historical figure&#039;s nationality. Still, I can deal with rigidity much more easily than I can either repetition or vagueness.<\/p>\n<p><p class=\"center doubleimg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.148apps.com\/2023\/4\/121538\/269736\/trivialinked-ios-3.png\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.148apps.com\/2023\/4\/121539\/269736\/trivialinked-ios-4.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>You get what you pay for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most times, I complete my <em>Trivia Linked<\/em> challenge in one go since it doesn&#039;t have the wide-open possibilities of something like <em>Wordle<\/em>. That said, there was one day I got interrupted in my play only to revisit the game later on and see that my incomplete score got logged and everything I didn&#039;t complete got automatically marked as incorrect. I don&#039;t really care about maintaining my own stats or anything (which the app tracks right on the title screen), but it was annoying that I couldn&#039;t even give the other questions a go because I got interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>There was also one time where I opened the app and it said that the game simply wasn&#039;t available to play, which was also less than ideal. Between these things and also the seemingly glaring omission of a fun way to share your results with friends, <em>Trivia Linked<\/em> definitely limits its own appeal. And, before anyone says anything, I know that the game has a way to share your results, it&#039;s just not visually appealing and feels more like an ad for the app as opposed to a reflection on your own performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite what might sound like some pretty significant issues, I am still quite satisfied with <em>Trivia Linked<\/em>&#039;s style of associative trivia. I suppose a big part of that is the fact that the game is completely free, but then again, I likely wouldn&#039;t mind throwing a little money at a game like this if it could tighten up some of its design.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source link:https:\/\/www.148apps.com\/reviews\/trivialinked-review\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#039;ve been playing Trivia Linked for the past week or two and enjoying its short daily quizzes.
