General Knowledge Quiz: Spark is built for the gap between knowing a fact and understanding it. All 2,500 questions come with a short explanation and a source, so you don't just find out you were wrong. You find out what you were missing. You can also practice what you missed. STANDARD OR PRO. PAY ONCE. Start with two free rounds in any of the five Standard categories. Then choose: - Standard: five categories, 500 questions, unlimited rounds - Pro: all 11 categories, 2,500 questions, plus Speed Round, Speed Math, Advanced Mode and Adaptive Practice Both are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. Both work with Family Sharing, and Standard owners get one try of each Pro mode. 11 CATEGORIES World Trivia, History Quiz, Science Quiz, Word Power and Quick Math, plus the Pro Library: Geography, Animals & Nature, Arts & Literature, Space & Astronomy, Food & Drink, and Inventions & Tech. FOUR NEW WAYS TO PLAY (PRO) - Speed Round: a 60-second speed quiz. Answer as many as you can. Right answers score, wrong ones cost three seconds. Share your score when the clock runs out. - Speed Math: type the answer and the next problem appears. The faster you get, the harder they get. - Advanced Mode: ten hard questions with no multiple choice. Type the answer. Spelling slips are forgiven, and if you're stuck, show the choices for half a point. Quiz-night ready. - Adaptive Practice: the questions you miss come back, at a difficulty matched to how you're doing. Get one right five reviews in a row and it's learned. Optional reminders tell you when reviews are due. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Your day streak, your last seven days, your best scores and your accuracy in every category, all kept on your device. ALREADY BOUGHT SPARK? If you bought Spark, or its unlock, before version 4.0, you get Pro at no extra cost. Open the app with the same Apple Account, or tap Restore Purchases. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No ads. No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No timer in a regular round. The questions are built into the app, so it plays the same on a plane as on your sofa. MADE FOR - A daily minute of practice - Remembering what you learn, not just scoring it - Fun facts worth repeating at dinner - The next pub quiz or quiz night - Anyone who would rather be curious than entertained Questions shuffle every round, and Spark keeps track of what you've already answered, so you get new material instead of the same five questions again. Think an answer is wrong? Tap Report a problem under the question. You already know more than you think. This is where you find out.

Tidbits Trivia

Features
Read full description

Tidbits turns the whole of Wikipedia into a trivia game — and unlike most quiz apps, every question is built from real, sourced facts, with a "learn the fact" card after each one so you walk away knowing something new. WHY TIDBITS IS DIFFERENT • Real facts, not recycled questions. Over 100,000 questions, generated and fact-checked from Wikipedia and Wikidata — and they never repeat until you've seen them all. • 22 kinds of questions. Not just "which of these is right" — identify the subject from a clue, fill in the blank, put events in order, find the odd one out, pick the biggest or the earliest, and more. The variety keeps you thinking, not pattern-matching. • Learn as you play. Every question ends with the fact and a link to read more. Miss one? It quietly comes back later, so the game teaches as it tests. WAYS TO PLAY • Daily Tidbit — the same seven questions for everyone, every day. Build a streak. • Classic, Time Attack, and Survival modes. • Eight categories: History, Science, Geography, Arts & Lit, Film & TV, Music, Sports, and a Mixed Bag. • Pass & Play — hand the phone around for 2–4 player trivia night, no second device needed. • Create a quiz from ANY topic — type "jazz" or "volcanoes" or your hometown and Tidbits builds a quiz from Wikipedia on the spot. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • Works fully offline — the question bank lives on your device. • No ads. No energy meters. No "pay to keep your streak." No dark patterns. • The full game is free — every question, every mode. TIDBITS CLUB (optional) Go deeper with an optional membership: Ranked Seasons, a Knowledge Atlas that maps what you know by domain, a Story Archive of every fact you've learned, and multi-week Expeditions. Buy once — you're a member on every device you sign in on. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time Founding Member purchase. The core game always stays free. Tidbits is also on Apple TV and Mac — same game, your streak and favorites at home on each. Tidbits Trivia Terms of Service: https://tidbitstrivia.com/terms.html
