“Calling all brainiacs. It’s time to put your knowledge to the test with Netflix’s brand-new interactive daily quiz show, Trivia Quest,” Netflix wrote.
The animated interactive show is based on the popular app Trivia Crack and the classic board game Trivial Pursuit.
The show is created by Daniel Calin and Vin Rubino of Sunday Sauce Productions and will feature 24 multiple-choice questions per episode.
The questions will cover an array of topics, such as geography, art, pop culture, and science.
The objective of the quiz game is to help the hero Willy “save the people of Trivia Land from a villain bent on hoarding knowledge,” Netflix said.
As players answer questions correctly, they score points which are used to free the Trivia land characters.

The game has two modes: Regular mode and hard mode.
Users will also have the option to replay episodes in an attempt to earn more points and make progress in the game.
The game will be available to play on smart TVs, streaming media players, game consoles, computer browsers, Android phones and tablets, iPhones, iPads and iPod touches, Netflix notes.
The streaming service’s announcement comes a few weeks after it increased its subscription prices in the United States.
Netflix expressed that the driving factor behind the increase in subscriptions prices is to create new programming that would allow them to compete with other successful streaming sites, such as Hulu, Peacock, Disney Plus, and HBO Max.
“We understand people have more entertainment choices than ever and we’re committed to delivering an even better experience for our members,” a Netflix spokesperson told Reuters.
