This post was
inspired by a trivia game that I recently started playing. The title of the
game is QuizUp, a mobile game developed for iOS and Android platforms by PlainVanilla Games, an Iceland based company. I was so impressed by the structure of
this game that making a post about it was an absolute no-brainer.
QuizUp provides
a sense of intimacy, a connection between game and gamer, a quality that I have
always found wanting in many trivia games. Right from the moment I installed QuizUp
on my iPhone, I was hooked. I mean I was literally possessed by its
refreshing game structure. I certainly could not stop playing it.

Just to give you
a quick background as to why this game is so addictive, QuizUp offers players
the option to challenge their friends, as well as other random gamers from
across the globe. I would like to refer to QuizUp as the Facebook of trivia
gaming. Other factors that make this game so exciting are its
diversity and "currentness". QuizUp draws questions from a variety of topics
that include, movie titles, sports, Television shows (Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones), general education, general arts, photography etc. What is even
more inspiring is the fact that gamers are able to add new categories filled
with trivia that they have gathered and put together.
Since I began
typing up this post, I have taken quite a few “QuizUp breaks”. Yes! It is that
good. Furthermore, I am convinced that my IQ level has increased since I started
playing this game. At least so I would like to believe. QuizUp isn’t only fun, but it is also an unorthodox form of learning. I think this will lure more people towards it.
QuizUp has been
around for barely five months, but I am totally convinced that this game will
continue to grow in quality and popularity, and I predict that it will become a
household name in the nearest future. Additionally, I also predict that one day
Facebook for will purchase QuizUp for over $1 billion USD. Remember you heard it
here first.
I hope you
enjoyed reading this post. Now I am off to play some more- QuizUp!
