## What is Brain Box Quiz?

Brain Box Quiz: Trivia Fun is a fun comedy quiz game, starring the eponymous joke and pun cracking host.

You'll answer questions in seven trivia categories, testing your knowledge on entertainment, music, sport, general knowledge, history, geography and literature.

Quiz questions on Trivia Fun are full of jokes and laughs, and there's 100s to play! There's loads of questions about your most-loved movies, TV shows, music acts and sport stars.

You'll be laughing along to the (hopefully) funny jokes, and learning lots of new facts to bore... er... entertain your friends with.

You can play Trivia Fun against a Timer, or quiz in Zen mode for the times when you just want to chill out.

Do you want a hint about what I'm going to mention next? Yes, it's hints! Stumped by a trivia question? I suggest you take a hint and remove two of the possible quiz answers to make it a 50/50 chance - and those are great odds!

Want a fun character to use as your avatar? Who wouldn't?!? There's some fantastic characters to reflect the beautiful person, or werewolf, you are!

Here's the bullet points!

- Play 100s of fun trivia questions and answers, with lots of comedy and funny jokes
- Play a quiz against the Timer, or in Zen mode for those relaxing times
- Quiz your way to fun achievements
- UK/USA spelling, so you know I know how to spell!

Trivia Fun is free to play with adverts. An optional Premium IAP allows you to remove ads, gives you unlimited hints, and shows you like my work (which, as an indie developer, is so important to me)!

### 4/5 — Categories

*2023-02-02, version 2.03*

I would like to be able to choose Categories

### 3/5 — Fun but starts repeating itself

*2022-12-09, version 2.03*

I like the trivia questions and the fact that the game is playable without spending money. Unfortunately, when you get farther into the game, you get repeated questions, which aren’t as fun. I was addicted at first but now I’m glad I didn’t spend the $2 for ad free.

### 4/5 — Update is good, but missing original charm.

*2022-03-30, version 1.32*

This is the 3rd “look” and update since I’ve played Trivia Guy. On one hand, this is both good and as well as a step backward. Questions, humor, and overall charm of the game are intact and are part of the fun. The weird scaling zoom up of the “trivia guy” himself is….weird. Almost thought it was bug how he animated into place every question. I vastly prefer the older versions of the app for the presentation. The questions and explanation of the answer also animate in slowly - maybe to help with pacing, but it all feels like it slows down the game immensely.
One great thing about this new version is that the points earned summary is now included in the explanation of the answer screen. This I think was how it was in the original version I played a few years ago. (My favorite presentation) I am glad that this is no longer a second confirmation button/screen before proceeding with the question, but I still prefer how the entire answer and explanation were on the screen as soon as the screen changed - for fast readers, even the ability to tap to skip the animation ahead would be nice.
No matter what, I find the scaling up and down of the mascot extremely out of place - it would be less so if he did something, but something about the lack of animation (within the art itself) is unsettling. 
One thing I had hoped would return with a new update would be the category quizzes. I liked to play the 10 question round but by being able to choose what types I would receive, such as history, movies, music, etc. It seems only that you can take 10 questions from random categories, without any customization to the quiz possible now. It seemed like the older version I first played was the best to me overall - it was great with pacing, display, and snappiness of the quiz itself ( I did like the size of the UI in this version a lot, but I prefer the older colors - the large amount of yellow seems to feel off for some reason now, but the text is extremely readable and appropriately sized.) but the artwork of the character didn’t command attention with pointless animation, and you could play only the type of quiz you’d like for the moment. I do wish this would return. 

I’d also like to see more music - it is the one thing that hasn’t changed, and while nice, it gets old quickly. A few more tracks that change sometimes while playing would be nice, tho I’m sure many may play on silent or with other music playing from their phone. The sound effects are nice too, and provide nice feedback - it’s more effective than the animation of the thumbs up or down I feel that plays now.

I feel like this is a huge complaint but I do really like this game, but the creator seems to take a step sideways with these updates. I’m sure there are reasons for it, but I feel like they are reducing the charm a little each time while not introducing new benefits. I wish I could install even the previous version, but the original version I played is still my favorite. 
However, the reason I play Trivia Guy overall, and will continue to do so, is the charm of the writing and how the questions are produced. They always feel humorous and well written, and I enjoy the way they work the player’s name into, as if Trivia Guy is actually asking you them right there. If a new update comes in that could address some of these issues, or at least allow some customization to speed up the transition/ “type writer effect” of the text on the explanation screen (where you confirm to go to next question), disable the animation of the Guy each time, etc, I would love that. I like this game a lot - it’s the only trivia game I’d bother writing a review of at all, and one that pains me to even be critical of. I loved that first version I played and if iPhone allowed it, I would go back to that version for all its features and UI/feeling. But the actual trivia itself is still top notch. 
I know the developer cares about this game, but I think a little more love to these pretension elements could help it even more, but right now it feels like too much is going on with it and I would welcome seeing it pared back a bit. But that doesn’t mean I will stop playing, and doesn’t mean folks should pass this game up - it’s still extremely witty and that alone makes up for hiccups in the UI, which could be a matter of taste to many that do not feel the way I do.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-01-30, version 1.31*

This is, by far, one of the better Quiz games currently available. Questions are varied and not too difficult. Ads are proportional to the content. Most of all, it’s a real giggle to play. Nicely done ❤️

### 5/5 — Great quiz

*2022-01-29, version 1.31*

I really like this quiz. I came upon it quite by chance, but I really like it. The questions on Quiz Planet are too easy , but these are much more challenging. Keep up the great work.
