Exploring the Literary World

In TRIVIA CARS, each player with the correct answer will move the car closer to the finish line. They compete with other players in real time, and the wrong answer will end your game.
User-supplied questions cover topics such as history, science, and entertainment. Reinforce the correct answer to the design selection question. Players can get three for free, and the rest must be purchased. When they play, they earn coins, which they can use to buy new cards. As long as they collect a certain number of car-related cards, they will obtain the car.
Players are also ranked based on the points they earn on the leaderboard.
Instead of driving aimlessly, players try to boost their cars by answering the questions correctly, but user-submitted content will ventilate those tires. Trivia CARS covers many topics and, compared to many other racing games, this format has the potential to provide more opportunities for critical thinking.
However, players enter the game with basically no instructions – the app has some written directions, but you have to look them up – and certain aspects, like the in-app currency system, can be a bit confusing. Players can probably find out what coins they spent. You can randomly buy cards from them, and once you get a certain number of cards – like two cards with carrot-shaped cars – you'll have the corresponding vehicles to use in the game.
Gems you earn are also displayed on-screen, but there's little explanation as to why you have them. The booster items you can use in the game are not clear at first.

According to the app's description, the questions raised in the game were user-submitted, but it's unclear whether the developer performed any fact-checking to confirm that the expected answer is correct. A number of questions contain spelling and grammatical errors, such as uncapitalized proper nouns and random possessive words — for example, “barack Obama” is listed as a potential answer instead of “Barack Obama.”
This type of error can cause some problems in the game – as well as possibly making players question the legitimacy of the content. When there's obviously no guarantee that the answer options you can choose are correct, it's hard to get excited about testing your knowledge in the Q&A round. In addition to fewer ads – players will see them at least a long time after each game – the app could also benefit from more powerful editing and some accuracy guarantees. If there are no elements, you may want to skip the trip with Trivia Cars.
The game's instructions are simple: players can access some instructions written in the app, but they haven't actively provided them. They will also see a lot of long ads. Ads are basically displayed between each game, and the app offers incentives for players to watch other games. Players can purchase a pack of booster items, gems and coins for $ 1.99 to $ 19.99 to enhance gameplay, but these items may not have a huge impact on the experience and do not need to be played. Technically, the player will crash if they lose, but the car crash doesn't seem to be involved.
