I have an idea for a new trivia game I would like to run but I want to see if could get enough people willing to play it before I organise it. I think the game would work best if there were at least 7 or 8 people playing.

It would go like this. There would be 5 questions per daily round and each game would last for 4 or 5 rounds (which ever suits people the most).

I will list five questions that will have several answers each. For exanple

1) A number 1000 or less that is a cube
2) A moon of Uranus
3) A Day of the Week

Questions will cover a wide range of topics. Some will be easy, others will require you to Google for the answer (I will make sure the answer can be found)

People will PM me their 5 answers each round. If they are the only person to pick their answer they receive 10 points, if one or more people come up with the same answer they score 5 points each. So not only do you have to find the answer but you have to try and choose the answer that no-one else selects. So the game is a combination of knowledge and luck.

People do not have to play every day (unless scoring is important to them)

I haven't though of a name for this game except 'Pick Your Answer'.

Do you think this game will work, do you want to play? Can you think of a better name?

If I get enough people who seem interested I will start the first game in a couple of days time.

It's an excellent idea, Kuu, exactly what FunTrivia is about (and I would love to play! )

Sounds like a great idea, Kuu. First thing that comes to mind for a title is FT Fun Run, but I'll give it some further thought.

>>>I thought I might call the game 'FT Trivia Rounds' <<<

Yep...that sounds ok, Kuu. My 'FT Fun Run' idea was just to emphasise the fact that it would be an ongoing challenge, open to all and not to be taken too seriously.

Bring it on!!
