As we’re approaching Christmas, my thoughts are turning to many important things – food, booze and TRIVIA. So I’ve ended up re-installing an app I used to have, called [QuizUp](https://www.quizup.com/en) (this link is to the desktop site, but I play the mobile version). For those unfamiliar, you can play on your own and try and beat your high score, or play a random opponent (in real time or at different times), or find someone you know and play against them. The format is multiple choice and there are six questions plus a bonus one in a round against another player, or just ongoing questions until you flunk if you play alone. It’s pretty addictive. There are loads of different categories (1200 apparently!) covering a broad range of topics – my favourites are The X Files, Dexter, Food, Movies and Backwards Words. _Unfortunately_, since I last played it, it’s a bit laggy and glitchy. But I’m still pretty addicted. I currently rank number 2 in the UK for The X Files for the month of November. Which might mean I’m playing it a tad too much. Or that I’m just shit hot. Or that no one plays that category. Anyway… does anyone else use QuizUp? Or can you recommend a good trivia app? ---

I used to play with QuizUp but some questions / answers were wrong, and after a complain they never updated them. So I uninstalled it… ---

Oh really? That’s annoying. I’ve had some that are slightly oddly worded sometimes but not wrong. What category was it out of interest? ---

I played C64 quiz on iOS a few years back. You get 4 screenshots and you have to match it to a game title. There was a high score and there were a couple of players who were constantly trying to better each others score. Of course after some time it just became a speed redlex game. In the end, I was at #1 and got a message from the runner up to congratulate me that I beat the creator at his own game. 🙂 P.S. : I searched it on the app store, expecting it to be not there anymore (being 8-bit instead of 64-bit). But it actually still is, not for free anymore though.

@TaarakVakil Full disclosure - it made me do that food logos round a second time with the same questions! Didn’t make much difference as I won both times - just slightly faster the second time 😉 Do you watch The X-files or am I better challenging someone else on that one?
