Well, a few months back I recommended the excellent City Challenge game on Facebook that I was hooked on for a while, but Triviador is my latest obsessions and a quality example of a multiplayer online quiz game.
Head over to Facebook and try it for yourself but to cut a long story short each Triviador battle consists of 3 players, all actual human players played over the Internet. Its a very popular game so you never have trouble finding people to play with. You start off with one base on a map of the world and by answering questions correctly you can build your presence on the map. This is the first round and the game then moves on to a second round in which you "invade" and "defend" sections of the map to acquire points and places. should your base fall you are out of the game. Whoever is top of the points table after 5 rounds wins. It only takes 10 minutes or so per game is is really fun.
There are other things like leaderboards, rankings, xp and perks to help you but the best idea I would suggest is to simply head over and play it. Before you are allowed online you have to have a game against computer opponents anyway to get used to it!
Hopefully I will see some of you on there and feel free to add me to Facebook Daniel Fullard (fully234@hotmail.com)!
Hi Dan
ReplyDeleteThe problem with Triviador is that it can be very frustrating. For one thing you can get matched up against players whose levels are well into the 100s, and who are so familiar with the questions that your chances of victory are virtually nil. I hate the bonuses as well. It really isn't so much about what you know, as about how many parrot and telescope bonuses you have. I don't like the fact that virtually every question goes to the tie break, and the tiebreak is a number question, where you're likely to be beaten by the one with the parrot bonus.
At the moment I much prefer Superbuzzer, and also Quiz Tower.
