New Cosmetics, Chat Improvements & More!

Hi everybody,

We hope you're all enjoying Trivia Tricks so far! Below you will find details of our first weekly update. This week we focused on addressing feedback from our player base about some of the rougher patches in our user experience. We collected this feedback both from direct engagement with fans and observing play session footage. We hope that following this update Trivia Tricks will feel a much more polished experience!

Next weeks update will focus on improvements to Trivia Tricks’ questions, such as giving players better control of category selections and ensuring larger variety to the questions the game selects. Stay tuned!

[h3]Cosmetics[/h3]

• Added four new hats and two new shirt cosmetics to make your Trickster prettier than ever. Now available in the store!

[h3]Chat Experience Improvements[/h3]
