Apr 17 2025: Challenge Achievement: Knockout News

A new challenge has been added: Achievement: Knockout

Awarded to a player who scores at least 1750 points in a knockout match

There are two wins to win a fight - one is to have a weak opponent. But we are not talking about that here. We are talking about winning by being strong. Or, in fact, losing is also okay for this achievement, as long as you put up a good fight.

What you need to do: Sign up for our weekly knockout tournament and give it your best shot. All you need to do is score 1750 or higher. Even if you lose the round, you'll still win this badge. Oh, for the beginning, we won't even look at which round you will do this in. Expect that to change at some point, of course...

Note: You can gain multiple tiers of this in one KO tournament, but only one per game.

Apr 06 2025: Challenge The Time Is Now News

A new challenge has been added: The Time Is Now

Awarded to a player who completes the necessary number of quizzes and crosswords from 2024's 'In Due Time' Limited Edition authoring challenge

Is this a trend? Every time we do one of these authoring challenges meant to promote hope and a better future, things... well, don't improve. 2024 was no exception here.

Which just means we need to try harder. We need more players to write inspiring quizzes and more to play them. For the first part, you could head to the current year's limited edition author challenge, but before (or after) you do so, why not take your time to play these gems created from two inspiring songs in 2024?

Blowin' in the Wind
Turn, Turn, Turn

The time is now - play today and add 8 to the global Hope-O-Meter.

You say that won't even make a dent? Fine, we'll add those 8 to your personal prestige as well. It should make a dent there.

Mar 04 2025: Challenge 25 Quizzical Years News

A new challenge has been added: 25 Quizzical Years

Awarded to a player who completes the insanely huge number of quizzes and crosswords that are part of this ultimate scavenger

Quick Trivia question: What do Youtube, Facebook, World of Warcraft, Twitter/X, Instagram and Spotify have in common?

( ) All of them are banned in the European Union
( ) All of them have experienced at least one bankruptcy
( ) All of them are owned by the US Government
( ) All of them have been around for less time than funtrivia.com

If you picked the last option, congratulations. Because on March 4, 2025, the current incarnation of funtrivia.com celebrated its 25th anniversary.

(Actually, the site itself is a bit older than that, but March 4, 2000 marks the beginning of the current database and, most importantly, the addition of playable quizzes to the site.)

And we'll celebrate this 25th anniversary in style: We have picked the 25 most versatile quiz authors - those who have written several quizzes in all 20 categories - and asked them to choose one of their quizzes in each category for a scavenger. If you do the math, that's a nice 500 quizzes - a mere appetizer given the total count of over 150,000 online quizzes. But you get to play those now. If you want this badge, that is.

So, 25 quizzes from each category. 20 from each of the 25 most versatile authors. That should have a few really easy ones and a few stumpers for everyone.

In addition, we've also picked the 25 most prolific crossword authors and chose one crossword from each - spanning all 20 categories in total as well.

Of course if you've been around for a significant portion of those 25 years, you may already have played a lot of what is on these lists. That's good for you, because it will make this gargantuan scavenger a bit more manageable. We hope, however, that no one has already played all of it - that would be an anticlimax.

The prestige reward for this challenge is of course tied to the number 25 - maybe just a tad more than what it is worth, but it's a birthday gift to all of you who have kept the site alive for so long! Of course if you want to really be smart, you can take home even more than those 25: Binge quizzes for a day and knock out another Endurance tier, do the quizzes one category at a time and nab some 24 Hours tiers, just work on the next level of Quizzer or Quiz Rater... lots of options.

Oh, take your time. This is not a limited edition - it's a celebration of longevity. So you can still complete it next month, next year or - well, however long FunTrivia will be around. Enjoy the ride!

And now, for the really long, really intimidating lists of what you get to play:

Feb 15 2025: Challenge In the Balance News

A new challenge has been added: In the Balance

Awarded to any author who contributed at least one quiz to the 2025

We've been doing this for some time, but for some reason we didn't yet succeed in making the world a better place. In fact, things are looking more precarious than ever.

Which can only mean - we need to try harder to bring some balance to this planet.

Let's use these songs for our 2025 attempt, hand-picked for perfect balance by ponycargirl, who was the most active contributor to the 2024 version:

THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
And you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'

The lyrics for this song were shortened by one verse to keep the community challenge difficulty at its desired level

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead
Will be the best of all

We will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights surrounding
You and I

From out of the darkness
Our future will come
If we leave the past behind
We'll fly beyond the sun

We'll be together
Sharing the load
Watching in wonder as our lives unfold

Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us
If we believe

Hope shines brightest in the dark
When nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one's ever been

You know what to do. Head over to the relevant thread in the author lounge, claim your title and write a nicely balanced quiz (or crossword) in 2025.

Please remember this is manually awarded - it may say "instantaneous" on the box, but we need to check submissions by hand so it can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on when someone has the time.

Dec 13 2024: Challenge Nine Reindeer News

A new challenge has been added: Nine Reindeer

Awarded to a player who submits the names of Santa's nine reindeer in the Word Wizard mini-game

Elements? Species names? Pfah. Let's try something more unique. How about nine friends who survived a long trek... no, not the Fellowship. We are talking of Santa's reindeer. Submit all nine names as Word Wizard bonus words and you can turn some of those caveman letters into a new sculpture for your badge grid.

For the purpose of this badge, Rudolph, Donner and Blitzen are of course legal words. Heck, you might even submit them multiple times for points in case you are stuck with the letters. And while it's not a requirement, true champions submit at least one of the names in the month of December. If you want true style, make it the final one, but the odds of getting the right letters at the right time are not that high, so we'll look the other way if you have Christmas in July.
