Welcome to Trivia Burst!

Trivia Burst is a trivia game where you can compete with 1000�s of other players around the world who get asked the same questions at exactly the same time. Each round consists of a group of 5 questions called a �burst�. Bursts occur twice every hour, at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour, 24 hours a day. That makes for a total of 48 bursts a day. Topics range from Current Events, to Arts and Entertainment, from People and Places, to Science and Technology. You have 20 seconds to answer each question, but the faster you answer, the more points you score. So speed and accuracy are both important. After you�ve answered the 5 questions, you are given the answers, and after reviewing the answers you get immediate feedback on how well you did in comparison to the other players who also played that round.

Of course if you�re not up to playing 24 hours a day, you can schedule what bursts you are interested in: anything from 2 bursts during your lunch hour during the week, to the four bursts each night from 9pm to 11pm. Other than the Scheduling of Bursts, there are other things you can configure too. For example if you�re a mad scientist you can choose to weight your questions in favor of Science and Technology. If you�re an Art major, you can favor Art and Entertainment. This means when you get a question in that category correct you get more points for your correct answer, then you would for correct answers in other categories. However be careful � if you get a question wrong in a favored category, you�ll get a few extra penalty points than you would in another category � so choose your favored categories carefully.

Where do we get all our questions from? We get them from you! As part of TriviaBurst there�s a section for Creating yourown Questions and submitting them to us for review. If your questions make the grade we�ll include them in future bursts, and other than the satisfaction of seeing one of your questions published, you should also benefit from having a jolly good idea of what the answer should be! See the section on �Creating Questions� for more information.
