TINY TRIVIA — ONE PUZZLE. TWO MINUTES. REAL IMPACT. Every day, Tiny Trivia gives you one puzzle built around a hidden connection. Look at the clues, spot the pattern, guess the commonality — and see how fast you can crack it. It's quick, it's clever, and it's designed to fit into the smallest gaps in your day. But Tiny Trivia isn't just a game. Every time you play, you earn votes for charity. Show up and play: 1 vote. Get the connection right: 2 votes total. Those votes go toward real charitable organizations — meaning your two minutes of puzzle time adds up to real-world giving, one day at a time. HOW IT WORKS A new puzzle drops every day Work through the clues and figure out what connects them — Tiny Trivia rewards lateral thinking, not just trivia knowledge Earn votes just for playing, and more for getting it right Your votes contribute to charities including The Smith Family, Thresholds, and WWF Build a streak, track your stats, and see how your play adds up over time WHY TINY TRIVIA Puzzles are written to make you think sideways — expect clever misdirection, wordplay, and "aha" moments rather than straightforward trivia recall. Every puzzle is designed to be solvable in a couple of minutes, so it fits into a coffee break, a commute, or the in-between moments of your day. And because your play directly translates into charity votes, Tiny Trivia turns a daily habit into something that matters beyond the game itself. Play for yourself. Give without even opening your wallet. JOIN THE COMMUNITY Connect with friends, compare streaks, and be part of a growing community of players who show up every day — not just for the puzzle, but for the impact behind it. A tiny habit.
