Games Like The Trivia Show

You and up to seven friends wake up on a lawn under a painted sky. A screen lights up: WELCOME TO THE SHOW. The rules are simple: survive every room, make it to the end, and score more than the others to save yourself. Every room opens with a question and plays like a different game: a gunfight, a brawl with a bomb on every ankle, a glass tank that floods with each wrong answer. The Host: "Everyone's here. Nobody's leaving."

"Deep breath. It won't help." You answer on the move, while the clock runs. A right answer gets you the better gun, ammo, a trap to throw at the others or first pick of the revolvers. A wrong one blows up your platform, charges your ankle bomb, floods your team's tank or sends the gnomes after you. And the longer the show runs, the meaner it gets.

"You were right! Still exploded."

...and more rooms, with new ones arriving throughout Early Access. The order is random, and every room is rebuilt each time: shape, cover, traps, weapons, even the teams.

The game comes with over 1,800 questions in nine categories, from video games and memes to history and science. Want your own? Open the Quiz Editor and create custom quizzes from scratch or from a CSV file: multiple choice or true/false, with pictures if you like. Share them on the Steam Workshop, publicly or just with friends, and play the ones other players made. Only the player hosting the match needs them.

Play dirty

"Your friend blew you up. Friends." Toy mines that creep up on you, a chair to the head while someone is still answering, a grenade with the show's logo on it. Every right answer is worth points and every knockout costs some, so the leaderboard can flip right up to the last room.

"One less. Anyone going to miss them?" You come back as a ghost, with your own face and your own voice. In most rooms you also get an RC car: throw it, drive it, flip it and blow it up next to the living, unless they shoot it down first. Everyone is back on their feet in the next corridor.

Say it to their face

Shout the answer. Lie about it. Beg for mercy. Proximity voice chat works for everyone, ghosts included: only the players near you can hear you, and walls muffle it. Prefer to type? Your character reads your chat out loud in a cartoon accent.

"Same faces. Slightly redder."
