"I'll Take Triv for 200, Alex"
Quick Quiz is a quiz mode. You are given your choice of 10, 20, or 30 questions. You can select the difficulty level of the questions, or randomly get questions from all three difficulty levels. If you are playing with multiple players, you can chose to have all players see the same questions or different questions. My favorite option is called horseshoes, a play on the old saying "close only counts in horseshoes and quoits." When horseshoes is turned on, you get partial credit for numerical answers that are close to the correct answer.
Triv Grid is based on the game show Jeopardy. The basic game board is a 3x6 grid - each square represents a specific difficulty level of a specific category. Select any square to get a question in that category of the specified difficulty. If you get an easy question right, you get 1 point. You get 2 points for the medium question and three for a hard question. Unlike jeopardy, you do not lose points for incorrect answers. Each grid is worth 36 points, and a game can consist of 1-4 grids. This is my favorite of the four game modes, but I would like to see an option to lose points for incorrect answers.
Triv Tac Toe is based on Hollywood Squares and Tic Tac Dough. The game board is a classic tic tac toe 3x3 grid. You chose a square and answer the corresponding question. If you are right, you get the square. If you are wrong, your opponent gets the square unless it gives them three in a row. In that case, the square remains empty. All winning moves must be earned by the player. You earn one point for each square you control and five bonus points for winning a round with three in a row. You can chose to either play a set number of rounds or play until one player reaches a specific point total. Triv Tac Toe is always played with two players. If you select 1 player, you will play against a computer opponent. It would be nice to see more features from Tic Tac Dough like assigning specific categories to each square and dragons (where you automatically lose the round) but it is still a lot of fun as is. If you want a traditional Hollywood Squares feel, play the game with a true/false module.
Triv is a very well designed game
