Take on Three New Boss Characters in Trivia Tricks' Largest Update Yet!

Hey everybody!

This update closes off our first milestone: creating a Co-Op Trivia game mode! Since its introduction during our Holiday Event, playing co-operatively and sharing trivia knowledge amongst friends has been our most popular addition! This update adds three additional challengers with specialized knowledge to take on. To celebrate this milestone Trivia Tricks is on sale for 10% off! This is the perfect time to see just how smart your friends really are!










Not checked out Trivia Tricks since we launched? Here are the headlining features of the last seven months of development!





  • Our next milestone will introduce Twitch Integration to allow streamers to play with their Twitch communities through Twitch Chat.

  • We hope to look into allowing more character customization by separating certain cosmetics into an accessory slot as well as creating new additions.

  • Although we are moving on from Co-op Vs Boss Mode for now we will return with additional improvements and new bosses in the future!

  • Yet more seasonal events with unique rewards are on the way!

  • And of course, more achievements, more cosmetics and more questions!

New TV Leaderboard! + A Sneak Peak at Upcoming Bosses...

Greetings Tricksters!

With this update we have brought a lot of the extra information from the Tab Leaderboard onto the TV rankings shown at the end of each round. Most notably when playing in Co-Op Vs Boss, individual scores are now also shown during the TV rankings. With this update we have also increased the total number of vetoes when selecting categories and as our question count grows we hope to let you drop it even more!



Here's the full patch notes for Trivia Tricks version 0.8.18.1

[h3]New TV Leaderboard[/h3]
  • The mid-round TV leaderboard has been updated with a whole new design
  • During Co-Op Vs Boss games you'll be able to see individual player scores as well as your combined total.
  • You’ll also find Steam avatars next to your names!


[h3]Other Additions[/h3]
  • Thanks to the increase in our number of questions, the category veto count has now been increased! Now Standard Trivia can be played with only 5 categories!
  • Modern Trivia is now the default category selection, which means the 'Video Games' category is now turned on by default
  • Selecting Classic Trivia now vetoes the 'Math' category (Alongside 'Anime' and 'Video Games')
  • The TV screen now specifies how many questions are in the current round
  • Players that have been kicked from a lobby can no longer rejoin that lobby
  • In settings, the ‘resolution’ option is now deactivated if ‘Fullscreen’ is enabled. This is to stop players being misled as Trivia Tricks' resolution is fixed to the resolution of your monitor whenever the window is set to 'Fullscreen'.
  • Additional security improvements to the implementation of room codes in private lobbies


[h3]Question Database Update[/h3]
  • Added nearly 25 additional questions, the majority suggested by our Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  • Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!


[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where the recommended rules weren't being applied on lobby creation. Streaks are enabled by default again and the timer has been set back to 20 seconds instead of 15
  • Fixed a bug where players who joined a game which was already in progress could not see the room code until the end of that game
  • Fixed a bug where full private lobbies would appear in the Server Menu
  • Fixed a bug where controllers wouldn't be recognised if they were first connected after a game of Trivia had been played
  • Fixed a bug where failing to join a game due to it being full would incorrectly state they could not join as "the game had already started"
  • Fixed a bug where controllers could not see the room code from the Pause Menu if the game had not started
  • Fixed a bug where holding right trigger in the lobby and pausing the game would allow you to keep the room code visible or invisible at all times.
  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to click a non-existent, invisible category
  • Fixed a bug where the client could see an incorrect amount of remaining vetoes while on the Categories Menu in Standard Trivia.
  • Fixed a bug where the client could see an incorrect amount of remaining vetoes while on the Categories Menu if the Boss was changed while the menu was open.
  • Fixed a bug where, if a client had the Categories Menu open when the host changes the boss, then the Boss' name did not update on the Categories Menu.
  • Fixed a bug where notification boxes did not respect the player's aspect ratio.


Our next update has some new challengers on the way to really test your Trivia skills. These three new bosses will see our first Early Access milestone 'Co-Op' completed! I wonder who they are...

Howdy! Quick post-release hotfix for you all!

  • Fixed a case where private games were visible in the server list despite the player not being able to join them
  • The in-game version number has been incremented

Room Codes! Joining Games has Never Been Easier!

Hello Trivia-heads!

This regular update was focused on on finding more convenient ways for lobbies to get populated! After some experiments, we've settled on adding room codes in addition to the current join methods!

Players told us that invites being limited to Steam friends was inconvenient for both Discord groups and streamers. In response to this we have now added room codes! We hope this new join option will help you find additional convenient options to play with friends, fans and randoms.



Here's the full patch notes for Trivia Tricks version 0.8.17.1

[h3]Room Codes[/h3]
  • Games can now be joined through room codes!
  • Even private games can be joined by room code! This means you can invite players without needing them on your Steam friends list
  • A lobby's room code is visible in the Lobby Settings Menu and during gameplay in the Pause Menu
  • Room codes are invisible unless they are being hovered by the mouse (or for gamepads, while right trigger is pressed). Handy for streamers!
  • The Server Menu has been updated to include a text box where you can enter room codes to join games!


[h3]Question Database Update[/h3]
  • Completing our focused efforts to improve the mathematics category, the incorrect answers to math questions will now be in a closer range to the right answer and feature options that players are likely to accidentally calculate. Keep your mental math sharp! The difficulty just went up!
  • Added nearly 50 additional questions, the vast majority suggested by the Discord community! Thank you to everyone who has suggested questions so far!
  • Fixed some typos and cleaned up the wording on a variety of questions. Thanks to all of you who took the time to report these to us directly!


[h3]Other Changes[/h3]
  • Added more secret codes! Some codes will be released on Twitter and Discord so stay tuned! Or you can sleuth them our yourself!
  • Added a new color option to the anime hair that fans have been vocal about!
  • The in-game logo has been given a white border to help it stand out!
  • A still-unfound hidden cosmetic now has a description when it is unlocked!



[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where Steam would still mark the player as playing Trivia Tricks if they followed the in-game Discord or Twitter links until they closed the tab or browser
  • Clicking the team avatar in the Tab Menu will now open the MVP's Steam profile


Over the next two weeks we will be adding some new bosses for you to take on in Co-Op mode!
