Hey everyone!

Another update for Trivia Tricks is coming your way! The Animals and History categories have been quality reviewed and there are a few updates to a number of stages too!



Firstly, we've continued our efforts to remove overly niche, complicated and poorly worded questions from our database - this time focusing on Animals and History. This will improve the overall quality of our questions with more improvements to come in future updates.



Some improvements to stages have also been added in this update! Now each stage has its own unique confetti shapes and colors at the end of a game. Isle del Trickster also has new models to replace carry-overs from the Studio stage.

Lastly some Workshop developments! Over the last two weeks, we've been implementing security for Workshop custom question packs. With these measures in place you won't have to risk your questions being used elsewhere without your permission.

Like what we’re doing? Hit the thumbs up below this news post! Have more detailed thoughts? Consider leaving a Steam Review letting us know what you think, or join our ever-growing Discord. Thank you for following Trivia Tricks!
