About

Tidbits Trivia

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
