Trivia at the
Speed of Thought
10 questions. 10 seconds each. Every millisecond counts. Compete head-to-head against players who actually know their stuff.
The trivia game built for serious trivia buffs. No obvious wrong answers. No endless rounds. Just fast, competitive packs where the quickest correct answer wins.
Can you dethrone them?
Speed changes everything
Same question. Same correct answer. Wildly different scores.
How scoring works
Each pack has 10 questions worth up to 10,000 points each — that's a 100,000 point perfect game. Every correct answer earns at least 7,000 points, with a speed bonus up to 3,000 more. Wrong answers and timeouts score zero.
Per-question example:
A great total game score is 85,000+. Elite players hit 95,000+.

Trivlet Live
Part game show, part variety show, all competition. A live host drives the action while guest entertainers — musicians, comedians, surprise guests — keep the energy up between rounds. Thousands of players compete in real-time from their own devices while the audience watches the leaderboard shift with every answer.
Live events feature multiple rounds — scores accumulate, the leaderboard shifts, and elimination rounds raise the stakes as the field narrows. Every event is different. Different hosts, different entertainment, different categories. The only constant: if you're fast and you know your stuff, there are real prizes waiting at the top.
Sponsored Packs
Instead of ads, brands sponsor custom trivia packs built around their story — their history, their innovations, their world. Players opt in because the trivia is genuinely interesting and the prizes are real.
A sponsor creates a themed trivia pack about their brand
Players sign up to compete — because the trivia is fun and prizes are on the line
The more players who join, the bigger the prize pool grows
Sponsored packs can feature multiple rounds too — the bigger the event, the more rounds and the bigger the prizes. They're always optional — the full game is available without ever touching one. Players learn about brands they're curious about. Sponsors reach engaged audiences. Everyone wins — and nobody sees an ad.
Both are completely optional — the full Trivlet experience never requires them.
Speed without knowledge is reckless. Knowledge without speed loses points.
But if you've got both — we'd love to see you try.
Every game. Same rhythm. Pure competition.
Pick a category
Choose a category and a random pack from it drops in. Every pack is exactly 10 questions with 5 choices each.
3... 2... 1... GO!
A countdown syncs all players. Beeps build the tension — like a starting line. When it hits GO, the first question drops.
One question at a time
The server sends each question individually. You get 10 seconds to answer. When time's up, the next question arrives. No skipping ahead, no peeking at what's coming.
Speed is your score
Your points start at 10,000 and drop by one every millisecond. Answer in under a second? 9,000+ points. Hesitate for five? You're at 5,000. Hit 10 seconds and it's zero — even if you knew it.
See where you stand
After all 10 questions, scores are tallied instantly. See your total, your rank, and a per-question breakdown. Tied? Sudden death — one question at a time until someone pulls ahead.
Questions & Answers
Why is it called Trivlet?
A piglet is a tiny pig. A booklet is a tiny book. A Trivlet is a tiny burst of trivia — 10 questions, 10 seconds each, done in under two minutes. The name captures exactly what the game is: trivia, shrunk down to its fastest, most competitive form.
How does a game work?
Pick a category and a random pack from it drops in. Each pack has exactly 10 questions with 5 answer choices. You get 10 seconds per question. Every correct answer earns at least 7,000 points, plus a speed bonus of up to 3,000 more — every millisecond counts. Wrong answers and timeouts score zero. After 10 questions, see your results and play another round or end your session.
How does speed scoring work?
Every correct answer earns a base of 7,000 points — knowledge always pays. On top of that, you get a speed bonus of up to 3,000 points that drops linearly over 10 seconds. Answer in under a second? 9,700+ points. Hesitate for five seconds? Still a solid 8,500. Hit 10 seconds and it's a timeout — zero, even if you knew it. Wrong answers always score zero. The maximum possible score per round is 100,000.
Why 5 choices instead of 4?
With 4 choices, you can often eliminate 2 and coin-flip the rest. With 5 plausible options, you actually need to know the answer. Every distractor is designed to be attractive to someone who doesn't know — no joke answers, no filler.
Do I find out if my answer was right?
You won't see correct/wrong feedback during the game — results are revealed in the final breakdown after all 10 questions. This keeps the pace fast, the tension high, and prevents mid-game discouragement.
What categories are available?
Six core categories: Science & Nature, History, Geography, Entertainment, Pop Culture & Music, and Sports & Games. Each has dozens of themed packs — from "World Cup Legends" to "90s Pop Culture" to "Ancient Civilizations." New packs are added weekly.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Create a private room, share a link, and compete on the same pack simultaneously. Same questions, same timer, head-to-head. You can also play solo and compare scores on global leaderboards.
What is Trivlet Live?
Live events with a real host, guest entertainers, and thousands of players competing in real-time. Multiple rounds, elimination stages, and real prizes. Think game show meets trivia night — from your phone. Completely optional.
What about cheating?
Speed-scoring is the anti-cheat. Even if someone Googles the answer, by the time they find it and tap, a player who actually knows it has already captured a much larger speed bonus. On top of that, questions are encrypted, scores are server-validated to millisecond precision, and behavioral analysis flags suspicious patterns.
Is Trivlet free to play? How do you make money?
Completely free, no ads, ever. Instead of interrupting your game, brands sponsor optional trivia packs built around their story — think "The History of NASA" or "90s Sneaker Culture." Players opt in because the trivia is fun and the prizes are real. You never need to touch a sponsored pack to enjoy the full game.
Is Trivlet available now?
Yes! You can play right now at trivlet.com/play. Solo and multiplayer modes are live with hundreds of packs across every category, leaderboards, and real-time head-to-head competition. Trivlet Live events are coming soon.
Is there a mobile app?
Trivlet launches as a web app that works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. A native mobile app is on the roadmap for an even faster experience.
