Trivia Tricks News

Hello Tricksters! For the first time ever we're making the case that Trivia Tricks deserves your nomination for 'Labor of Love'! We'll keep our justification short!

• Trivia Tricks has been receiving updates for 3 years and all promised Early Access milestones have been delivered! (Co-Op Vs Boss, Twitch Integration and Workshop Community Packs)
  
• We've gone beyond those promises, adding extra features such as Friend Pass, Usable Items and regular Seasonal Events! Plus, there's even more to come... 📸
  
• Trivia Tricks has had 85 updates since release. On average that makes for an update every two weeks! We've never had a hiatus and are always transparent about what's being changed!
  
• We're active in the our Discord, and player feedback leads to direct changes in the game.
  
• Most of all, we've achieved this without monetizing players through micro-transactions or loot boxes.

We would be humbled if you would consider nominating Trivia Tricks for Labor of Love in the Steam Awards. Here's to many more updates in future! Thank you from the 3-Tricks team!

Hello everyone! This is a small patch which addresses the following...

• Fixed a bug where, when playing 'Vs Boss Mode' or having "Visible Answers" enabled, the players answer notches were being slightly overlapped by the answer buttons.
  
• Some backend changes to our netcode in preparation of supporting an upcoming feature... 📸 Stay tuned!

Hello Tricksters!

It’s time for the annual Trivia Tricks Spook-aversary event, where we come together to experience the collective fear of Halloween and the march of time. This Spook-aversary marks the third year of Trivia Tricks’ active development and today we bring you a whole new type of question!



Trivia Tricks questions no longer require 4 answers, meaning question formats like “True or False” are now possible! Alongside Question Explanations (introduced in the last update) this forms another part of our final Early Access milestone to make new question types possible in Trivia Tricks. The limited-time Halloween category features a number of ‘True or False’ questions and you’ll see them in our other categories soon!

Like Question Explanations, questions with 2 or 3 answers will be made available for user-created Workshop packs in a future update. We have one more question type in active development that will be announced soon, so be sure to follow Trivia Tricks to be the first to know... (📸)



Trivia Tricks’ seasonal events always come with new cosmetics to earn! This year you’ll find a Mimic hat with terrifying animated teeth, Spider Eyes that put pupils all over your face, a Plague Mask complete with a long nose, antenna-like Alien Eyes that stick out your head and a full Robot costume (made out of cardboard). All of these can be earned through candy that’s earned through regular games!



In addition, the challenge and cosmetics from the previous three Spook-aversary events are also back! If you missed them last time around then you have until November 9th to make it right!



The Halloween Stage has had a visual overhaul, with a new skybox, rustling grass, a haunted-house renovation and ominous rain. Enjoy the new extra-spooky vibe!

Oh, and to top this all off, the limited-time Halloween category has been extended with over 100 new questions covering both Halloween history and the latest in horror media. So stop hiding behind the sofa and get quizzing!

• Play games to get candy! Use this candy to unlock Halloween cosmetics in the Character Creator!
  
• Spend that candy on the new-for-2023 Mimic Hat, Spider Eyes, Plague Mask, Alien Eyes, Robot Head and Robot Body!
  
• Plus, the challenges and cosmetics from the previous three events are also available, check them out in the Character Creator!
  
• The Halloween stage has been updated! Featuring a new vibrancy and bespoke visual effects!
  
• The Halloween category returns with around 100 new questions!
  
• The Halloween category now contains some questions with only 2 answers, using a ‘True or False’ format!
  
• Explanations are also available for the relevant Halloween category questions!
  

• Some Trivia Tricks questions will now only have 2 or 3 answer options instead of the usual 4!
  
• These new question types will debut in the Halloween category! Keep an eye out for more planned in the other categories in a future update!
  
• In addition, soon you’ll be able to create questions with only 2 or 3 answer options through Steam Workshop!
  
• Some items cannot be used when a question with only 2 or 3 answer options is being asked. This is marked by a warning sign in the player's inventory when this is the case.
  
• Summer's boss battle in both the online and offline modes has been updated to accommodate questions with 2 or 3 answer options.
  
• Fixed a bug where the character selection screen portrait was fuzzy for every character but the first.
  

Hello everyone! This is a quick hotfix to address a bug introduced in yesterday’s update.

If you missed out on yesterday’s update, and the introduction of Question Explanations, you can get caught up on all the details here! Thanks again!

• Fixed a bug where the '50/50' and 'Call a Boss' items were unable to be used.

Hello all!

Today's update brings a brand new feature, questions can now have "explanations"! These explanations will appear after certain questions to shed light on why an answer is correct or give fun and educational background details!



We've added explanations to some questions in every base-game category, and we're happy to share that explanations will be available for user-created Workshop packs in a future update. In addition, we are actively working on new types of questions for both the base-game and Workshop as part of the 1.0 release. Follow Trivia Tricks to be the first to know what these great additions will be! 👀

• Questions can have explanations! Trickier questions will have additional information, or maybe a fun fact, after they've been answered.
  
• The streak and speed icons have been updated.
  
• Fixed an issue where character portraits didn't update after overwriting a character and then moving to the Character Select Screen.
  
• The Steam Deck now runs using version 7 of Proton as Workshop categories weren't loading for lobby hosts in Proton 8.
  
• Fixed an issue where, if the lobby was created in a more recent version of Trivia Tricks, the dialog box could incorrectly report that the lobby couldn't be joined as there's an ongoing seasonal event.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Boss AI was more likely to pick the bottom answer when guessing the answer to a question.
  
• Fixed an issue where the 'Double Down' item's arrows could cover one of the answers.
  
• Fixed several issues with the 'Double Down' item's arrows disappearing after use.
  
• Improved some menu transitions' background blurs.
  
• Fixed an issue where the "The host closed the lobby" message would cover a Friend Pass player's unlocks.
