First there was Angry Birds. Then there was Flappy Bird. And now there’s Trivia Crack. The world has become addicted to yet another app obsession. But is this just another fad in the ever-changing world of mobile gaming, or is Trivia Crack here to stay?

The objective of the game is simple: obtain six icons before your competitor by answering questions from six categories. The categories include science, history, sports, art, entertainment, and geography. Icons can be earned by answering a question from that icon’s category after every three correct answers, or by landing on the “crown” when spinning for a question category. Players can also challenge their competitors to try to steal their icons. Players keep answering questions until they get one wrong. Then, it’s the competitor’s turn.

The students of Wahlert seem to have varied opinions of Trivia Crack.

Some have positive experiences, such as Sami Wiezorek, ‘15.

“I like it because I’m good at it,” she says confidently.

Makenna Scace, ‘16, says, “I’ve learned so many facts.” She proceeds to share the fact that, “Heath Ledger was the only person to win an Oscar after his death.”

Luke Kelly, ‘15, also benefits from playing Trivia Crack. “The constant science and art questions are helping my logical reasoning.”

But be careful.

“It seems more addictive than the actual thing,” says Greta Becker, ‘15.

On the other hand, some students don’t enjoy the game quite as much as others.

“The games sucks because I’m bad at it,” says Justine Atkinson, ‘15. “I deleted it off of my phone.”

Clare Sulentic, ‘15, also finds frustration in Trivia Crack. “My brother beat me 6-0 two times. And he’s 13,” she says.

Even though its popularity is soaring now, the app is on a similar track as Angry Birds and Flappy Bird. Who knows when the app will fade away and become just another member of app fads.

Some hardcore Trivia Crack lovers, however, disagree.

“It’s not a fad. I’m going to be playing Trivia Crack in the nursing home,” says Becker.
