Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

90/100

Trivia Crack Retro (formerly Trivia Crack 2) manages to preserve the charm of the original while adding layers of progression that make it feel like a modern mobile game. The core trivia mechanics—spinning the wheel and answering questions across six categories—remain as polished as ever. The questions are well-sourced and cover a wide range of difficulties, ensuring that both casual players and trivia buffs have a fair shot.

What sets this version apart is the team system and the character collection. Joining a team adds a social layer where you can exchange lives and participate in larger competitions, which adds a lot of incentive to play daily. The visual style is bright and engaging, and while the monetization and ads are definitely present, they don't break the competitive integrity of the trivia matches. It remains the king of the genre for a reason.

Great game!
Fri Mar 14 2025 Reedear

I like this game, but truly only reviewed it in hopes that it’ll stop popping up asking me to review every other round. So, a real review after playing for a while. This is one of the few games I don’t mind paying for, so I never see ads and I think I have unlimited lives (I’ve not hit the limit, anyway); I enjoy the questions and the little events, though I do wish there were more of them. It’s a nice little game for those who enjoy trivia. It also helps me when I go play trivia out in the real world. The only odd thing is, is everyone a bot? I ask because, it doesn’t matter what time I play, the 6 people I’m playing with right now, are, somehow, always up to play. Literally, I can play a round at 8am, they all come and play within seconds of each other. I can play at noon, they all come play within seconds of each other. I can play at 10pm, they all come play within seconds of each other. I can literally wake up at 4 am and play a round, and they all come play within moments of each other. Could they all just happen to always be up at the same time as me, and each other? Maybe, but seems a bit odd. Like, I’ve purposely played at very odd times just to see, and they all always play within minutes of me, and every single one of them. Either everyone who plays is always on their phones or they’re bots or something.

Bugs and ad’s
Tue Jun 07 2022 bsjsnb

I would 100% give this 5 stars as this game is enjoyable and a fun way to enhance your knowledge in a multitude of subjects. However, I have some issues. (Number 4 is more specific to me but it should be acknowledged) 1. The amount of ad’s are insane and sometimes they even cause the app to crash and causes me to lose the game or that question. Even after I purchased no ads, when I use an ad for help it is a 50/50 chance it will crash 2. The constant crashing of the game irritates me beyond explanation. The game will freeze, crash, etc. and seems to be a way to try and force players to use their coins and/or spend money on the game. 3. It needs more decks pertaining to a wide variety of topics. I would love more topics about anatomy, or other tv shows such as how I met your mother, or really anything else. Because most of the time my questions from random tend to largely be about George Washington, Peyton manning, and other presidents. 4. Also, when I block someone It should block them. I have almost deleted this app several times because of creepy men trying to “pick me up” in the trivia crack chat room. Trivia crack needs to allow for actual blocking (I blocked someone and they could still play me even after I tried to block them again) and allow for explanation or reporting of why we blocked them. I should be allowed to play this game without 34-50 year olds trying to get my social media or phone number.

Bugs and Small Fixes
Fri Jan 20 2023 _CTG_2_

I’ve played the game for a few weeks now, and as I tried to escape playing the repetitive gameplay, I stumbled upon some bugs that I would like to be fixed. First off, I started playing this game with a couple friends who have surprisingly not left the game yet, so some merit for that I guess, I tried to access the online multiplayer feature “Tower Duels,” for it prompts you to play with your friend by sending them a “request.” Unfortunately, this request is never sent and can cause some crashes if specific criteria are met. Second, I understand that ads are a key part of the games revenue and you’ve made up for it by putting in free ways to get game currency, but the amount of ads is atrocious, I feel it would be fair that if after a game when it prompts you to “Watch an ad for a second chance,” if you decline it shouldn’t give you an ad! Finally, I do very much enjoy this game and I appreciate the thoroughness and up to date questions but after a while of playing you will easily see 2 or 3 of the same question appear. Thank you for reading! Sincerely, Witho

There are mixed reviews

On one point I’m giving this five stars because of how fun it is, but it has a ridiculous amount of ads like every time I answer question I get ads just getting ads every five seconds and plus almost everything about this game is not even free uh that doesn’t cost money. I will be super happy like all the packs cost so much. It’s impossible because it’s so expensive that I need to pay real money and that’s annoying. Just imagine almost everything costing more than a Minecraft membership. It don’t even hardly even hardly anything like literally the most expensive one I saw was three dollars and to buy 100 coins it’s five bucks that’s crazy and you can’t buy a new thing with 100 coins. Guess how much 10,000 coins cost cost more than $10,000 literally I can buy a Gucci bag for less money and a trip to Paris that’s insane bro that’s insane. Just imagine. Guess how much 100,000 coins cost $200,000. Dollars that is crazy. guess what? I could buy trip pairs on first class a trip to Japan on first class 200 Gucci bag by everything in Minecraft buy as much Roblox that anybody could ever do. I could buy a gym membership at the most bougie place and have my wedding at Disneyland Paris like insane I can buy all that or buy 200,000 coins what would I choose not the 200,000 coins I’m wrapping up now. I like the original a lot better because you don’t need to pay real money for anything and you get all the packs for free.

“Complete rip off”
Mon Dec 28 2020 JonW2019

This game is fun but it is a total rip off to have to pay to get more lives in order to play anymore games or to have to wait a long time to get another life. Plus the prices are a total rip off as well and the developers of this game are like stealing money from everyone and ripping everyone off just to get more lives in order to keep playing the game. It should be free, you should not have to pay anything. This happened to me when I first got this game and then when I saw how much money these robbers are trying to get everyone to pay for different amounts of lives to keep playing the game I just laughed and was like I don’t think so robbers. Shame on the developers of this game for ripping everyone off and stealing. The developers of Trivia crack game are very greedy, there ripping all of us off and all they care about is money from you. Trivia crack should not be charging you and ripping everyone off for running out of lives and having to buy more lives and games should be free and unlimited. Trivia crack 2 is now making you have to get tokens or whatever the freak it is to be able to invite friends, what a rip off. everything about trivia crack is about money or being limited or in some cases you have to collect or wait to play, that’s not a good fair game. being greedy and ripping us all off and stealing money from us all is not a good developer.

Too many ads
Fri Dec 18 2020 ThereAreNoUnusedNicknames2218

I love the actual content of the game. The different game modes are fun and there are a lot of them to choose from. The questions are usually good. However, the game suffers from having WAY too many ads. I completely understand that the developers want to monetize the game through ads, that’s completely fine. But this game is completely jam packed with them! Alongside banners, there are ads every single time you exit a portion of the game (when you get a question wrong and lose your turn, when you win a game, when you exit back to the main menu). This gets old pretty quickly, especially when the ads are 30 seconds long and usually not skippable. Sure, you can swipe away from the app, but that gets rid of any positive progress you made (winning, getting questions right, etc) and saves any negative progress you made (losing, getting a question wrong). I got extremely fed up with this when i started getting ads for no reason every 5 questions in the middle of a game. I get the need to monetize the game. But I think the developers should either reduce the number of ads or at least offer a payment option to get rid of them (like was present in trivia crack 1)- a small payment rather than an expensive subscription. The excess ads cover up what is a really good game underneath.

Frustrated.
Fri Mar 13 2020 Sunnydipfezz

So at first when I downloaded this app I was super excited and really liked it. But as I continue to try to do the daily challenges I become more and more frustrated. There are questions that have completely wrong answers but you can’t flag them because as soon as you get it wrong (by selecting the CORRECT answer), there is a pop up and if you just close it out it gives you your percentage of “right” answers. It doesn’t let you actually flag the question as having an incorrect answer. On the same side of the coin there are questions in the daily challenges that have answers that are so long, wordy, and grammatically incorrect that you just have to pick one before time runs out not knowing if you picked the right answer. Again just frustrating, I understand they are supposed to be rapid fire questions, but there should still be away to “report questions” like you can in the first one so more people don’t get frustrated and just delete the app and spread the word that a trivia game has incorrect answers and no way for players to try and fix them.

Buggy Cash Grab
Mon Mar 18 2019 Josh95826

The title says it all. Even the developers know this is true. It isn’t really different at all from the first Trivia Crack. Except now be prepared to watch ads to literally do anything. I get it, it’s a free app and they make money with ad space, but this is excessive and I think it might be a reason why the game freezes up and crashes frequently (which is especially annoying when you're doing a real-time trivia match). Moreover, during a real-time battle where the whole point is to answer questions quickly, get ready to randomly sit through a 30 second ad as your time ticks away and your opponent shoots ahead. They removed the statistics function from the first trivia crack (probably because they got found out for having fake bot players for users to play against). You also can’t compare your rank with your friends to show off, which kills off some of the competitive feel. I played this game for a good while and got to about level 120 but the frequent app freezing and excessively ads UNNECESSARILY interfere with the game too much and I’m just over it. I love trivia and the idea behind the game, but I’m not gonna shell out monthly payments to simply not have annoying interferences.
