Trivia Game!

I made a massive trivia game in 2 days in a 100x100 world! Play it here.

It has 160 questions, divided into 8 categories. The player can select one of four different choices for each question.

Unfortunately, you may not select a category for each question because some categories are easier than others. The game is mostly random (computers can't be completely random) to prevent any cheating.

You must answer 80 questions (or 50%) correctly to win. I may reduce this number to 40 or 60 later, based on player reactions to the difficulty.

The categories have varying difficulty levels:

-Science [MED] > Blue Column
-English [EASY] > Red Column
-Math [MED] > Purple Column
-World History [HARD] > Yellow Column
-Foreign Languages [HARD] > Cyan Column
-Music [MED] > Orange Column
-Geography and Earth Science [EASY] > Green Column
-Guessing [HARD] > Grey Column

Note that this game is intentionally difficult and not for the faint of...brain. When in doubt, red is your best option. When presented with a TRUE/FALSE question, FALSE is your best option.

Here are some screenshots:

(Sorry about the pictures being so small, I did not expect that.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously some people didn't like it. Firstly, I'll sincerely say that I am sorry it disappointed you, and I will try to fix it in any way I can.

Please consider that I worked very hard on this and would be perfectly happy to improve it if anyone asked for an edit to a question here or there. I'll even redo every last question if I must.

You should also consider, however, that over the internet you speak more freely, because you can't see the person. You don't consider the effect because for all intents and purposes, they aren't real. For those of you who decided to insult me rather than just ask for a correction here or there...I don't appreciate it.

Be more considerate of others in the future, even if your only interactions are through the internet.

Great world, but is should have been harder. Also, the guessing part is annoying.

I will add a category to replace the guessing section.

Very well done.

I guess we could also have a campaign for these levels.

Re: Trivia Game!

While it is good, you go into the questions randomly so you tend to get repeats after a while.

And you can just keep going until you eventually do reach 40.

Theoretically, I could have questions lock after being asked once or twice, but I would need to rebuild the map with a bigger world. Also, if you got more than 120 questions wrong, you would not be able to win...

As far as I can tell, there is no good way to prevent the player answering randomly until they win, but if they don't want to play the game as it was originally intended, that's their problem, not mine. They win. They haven't really played the game as it was intended. If that is their strategy and they enjoy it, I won't argue the point.

Re: Trivia Game!

I see the level is no longer visible.
From what I can tell the feedback seems to be positive overall, with constructive criticism.
("Great world, but [...]"; "Very well done."; "While it is good, [...]")
Nothing and nobody is perfect, and there are always haters, I wouldn't worry about it.
Just make it visible again.

I have permanently left the game and forum.
EE is an entertaining game and I enjoyed playing it...
...but it's time for me to move on.
