Trivia Throwdown

Trivia Throwdown is a mountain-climbing trivia challenge with a fighting game style. You answer questions across a range of subjects, using both the breadth of your knowledge and your strengths in particular categories to win. Its 2,500+ questions are designed not to repeat until you have exhausted all questions in a category.

Questions and difficulty

Questions cover Movies & Television, Literature & Fine Arts, Games, General Knowledge, Geography & Politics, History, Music, Science & Technology, and Sports. The mix includes both pop culture and academic trivia. Difficulty changes with your performance, and five difficulty levels accommodate a wide range of skill levels. An optional adult content filter and novice-level difficulty setting are available.

The game was developed in the US, so many questions focus on American topics. An optional American Bias Filter captures most of these questions, mainly in Geography & Politics, History, and Sports.

Ascent Mode

In Ascent Mode, you climb through 10 ranks of increasing difficulty, with promotion and relegation at stake in every match. Your performance can move you closer to ranking up or down, and you can win even if your knowledge is weak in one or two categories.

Local multiplayer

You can play a quick local match against a friend, using two controllers or sharing a keyboard. Alternatively, a friend can help you answer questions in Ascent Mode.

Music and progress

The soundtrack features 20+ tracks spanning synthwave, ambient hip hop and 16-bit beat 'em up chiptune. Progress saves after each question, so you can play for any length of time.
