Introducing Triviale — where curiosity meets competition.

Triviale combines the viral simplicity of Wordle with the intellectual depth of trivia. Each day, players solve a short trivia puzzle by typing in the correct word or phrase, unlocking new hints as they go. It’s quick, clever, and shareable.

🎯 The Problem: Most trivia games rely on multiple choice and luck instead of knowledge and deduction. People want something smarter, shorter, and more satisfying.

💡 The Solution: Triviale is a daily trivia riddle that makes you think, not guess. Players type answers, see real-time feedback (like Wordle), and unlock clues until they solve it.

🧩 How It Works:

  1. A new question every day (example: “After this event, critics complained that a two-year timeline has not yet begun because…”)
  2. Type your guess and get letter-by-letter feedback.
  3. Unlock new clues as you play.
  4. Share your spoiler-free results with friends.

🚀 Why Now: Wordle showed that millions love simple, daily puzzles. Trivia is a $6B+ market — but no one has merged daily puzzles with real knowledge until now. Triviale = Wordle’s virality × Jeopardy’s depth.

👥 Audience: Trivia lovers, crossword fans, lifelong learners, educators, and anyone who loves daily mental challenges.

💰 Business Model: Freemium with premium packs, archives, and sponsored trivia categories. Share-to-play incentives drive organic growth.

📈 Roadmap:

  • Phase 1: MVP launch (daily puzzles + sharing)
  • Phase 2: Categories, leaderboards
  • Phase 3: Mobile app & monetization
  • Phase 4: Multiplayer tournaments + AI-generated trivia

🎯 Our Vision: To make learning addictive. To turn “Did you know?” into a daily habit shared by millions.
