Nerd Trivia Review




Nerd Trivia is a great, free Twitter-based trivia game created by Laura Massey (@lauralollipop). The game is run in seasons lasting a few weeks with questions being posed every hour from 8 am – 5 pm PDT via the Nerd Trivia Host (@NerdTrivia) on Twitter. To play, you simply follow @NerdTrivia, the host will follow you as well. Then every day, NerdTrivia will tweet a question and you can message the host directly with the answer.

The game, now in its third season, is constantly evolving. This season saw the addition of the Nerd Trivia website containing directions on how to play, a list of your answers and Achievements. The game also has prizes to win.

Nerd Trivia was a personal project for creator, Laura Massey (Gamertag: Lollip0p on Xbox Live). Ms. Massey is a programmer working for Microsoft as part of their Xbox team. You can also hear Ms. Massey talking about Nerd Trivia on the Major Nelson podcast, where she is a co-host.

I really enjoy Nerd Trivia and in a world where Twitter is mostly about sharing what you are doing right now, it is nice to have something competitive to play on a daily basis. I highly recommend following @NerdTrivia if you are active on Twitter. I give Nerd Trivia 5 Mick Happies…fun trivia, simple to play and free, what is better than that?
