Trek Master: The Ultimate Star Trek Trivia Challenge Think you know your warp coils from your warp core? Trek Master puts your Star Trek knowledge to the test across the entire Star Trek universe. Completely free — no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development. Every game draws a random selection from a vast question bank spanning ships, crew, aliens, planets, episodes and technology — so no two games are ever the same. Pick a series — The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, the films or general knowledge — or play across the whole of Star Trek. Hosting a quiz night? Tournament Mode lets you choose a series and read ten questions aloud to your teams, then reveal each answer when everyone has written theirs down — no timer, no scoring, just a proper quiz night. In Practice Mode you can play with a 1, 2, 3 or 5 minute timer, or turn the clock off entirely for a relaxed, untimed game. You have 15 seconds per question, four possible answers, and the option to pass if you're unsure. Get it right for +1, wrong for −1, or pass for 0. Accuracy matters as much as speed. Miss a question? The correct answer is always revealed, so you learn as you play. Your best score is saved automatically for each time setting. Can you rise through the ranks and prove you are a true Trekkie? Whether you're a Starfleet cadet or a seasoned Trekker, Trek Master will challenge you from the final frontier to the Delta Quadrant. Engage!
