Trivia Tricks: Trivia Snowdown!

Hey everyone, it's me Mr. Tricks!

Trivia Tricks is getting in the holiday spirit with a limited time co-op trivia game mode! Do you and your friends know more about the holidays than the big man himself? Team up, take him on, and win cookies to spend on festive cosmetics!

We've also got a new 'Festive' trivia category, and of course a stage (And host!) makeover! Make sure to spend those cookies as soon as you can, as the event will be ending on the 7th January!

See you on stage!

[h3]Trivia Tricks: Trivia Snowdown![/h3]

• New Trivia Tricks Trivia Snowdown Event
  - Added new 'Vs. Boss' mode!
  - Team up with up to 7 others to take on Santa and Krampus
  - Santa's a jolly guy and just can't help but give gifts during chance round...
  - but don't expect the same generosity from Krampus!
  - When against Santa or Krampus most questions will be from the 'Festive' category
  - The team gets named after the player with the most points, the MVP!
  - You'll find a new page in the statistics menu to track your 'Vs Boss' stats, like 'Wins' and 'MVPs’!
  - Beat Santa to get his world-renowned suit, beat Krampus and earn those sick horns!
  - But hurry! You've only got until the 7th January!
  
  
• New Currency... Cookies!
  - Added new 'Festive' cosmetics, purchased with cookies!
  - You'll earn more cookies per game the more human players you have on your team
  - Careful! Santa and Krampus play better the more human players they're against! Communicate!
  - Cookies are awarded at the end of regular Trivia games too; more players beaten = more cookies
  - Trivia Tuesday will give DOUBLE COOKIES for both boss and non-boss modes! Yummy!
  - Purchased and earned cosmetics will be available for use after the event is over
  
  
• Added new, free forever, cosmetic... Santa's Hat!
  
  
• Decked the stage with a new festive look, and say hello to the new host, Elf Tricks!
  
  
• Question Database Updates
  - Added the 'Festive' Category, featuring nearly 200 questions
  - Expanded the 'Anime', 'History' and 'Film & TV' categories based on player feedback
  - Removed questions on the 2 times table from the maths category
  - Fixed many, many question typos (Thank you to all of you for reporting these!)
  
  
• Social Media Button Redeisgn
  - Adjusted the design of the social media buttons on the main menu
  - Social media buttons are now accessible with both keyboard and controller
  - Discord link now mentions submitting your own questions, follow the Trivia Tricks Steam Group for some exciting news about user-submitted questions coming soon!
  
  
• Other Changes + Bug Fixes
  - Reworded the title on the Character Select Screen
  - Fixed 'Standard' ruleset games being mislabelled as 'Basic' ruleset in the server browser
  - Trivia Tuesday now requires a connection to Steam servers to actually start in-game, so no more changing your system clocks for double money! (We saw ya!!)
  - Fixed an issue where the order the Chance Round balls were initially revealed would match the order that players joined chance round, making the result predictable
  - Fixed case where 'Red Streaks Earned' and 'Blue Streaks Earned' stats were delayed in updating for non-hosts, making achievements like 'Warming Up' and 'Feeling The Heat' take an extra question to unlock
  - Fixed the 'Big Brain' achievement not unlocking for non-hosts
  - We recently fixed an issue stopping Steam Cloud Saves from syncing

[h3]A final note from the developers...[/h3]

The year's end is an appropriate time to reflect on what’s happened and to consider what's around the corner. We've been overwhelmed by the positive player reception we've been receiving and it has been less than 2 months since our Early Access release. We'd like to thank our community for their invaluable feedback, and we are humbled by our audience's growth showing consistent week-on-week momentum.

Our Halloween event was put together in a restless period of just two days (!!), so Trivia Snowdown having two full weeks of development allowed us to be more ambitious. The holidays are a time for banding together and we wanted to create an event in that spirit. Furthermore, it closely matches the goals of our first Early Access milestone – full co-op Trivia. Any feedback we receive on this ‘Vs Boss’ experiment will influence the direction we take ‘Co-op Trivia’, which will be in full development in the new year. Please let us know what you think.

We’re going to be taking a well-deserved rest, but that doesn’t mean we’re done! Next week we’ll be dropping a big question count increase to all categories. Stay tuned!

As always, the best way to get in touch is through our Discord! Or you can leave a note on the Steam Discussion Forum! Thank you for following Trivia Tricks, and happy holidays!
