Video Game Trivia
IQ2000 is putting together another round of trivia for DBX and he’d like your submissions. If you have a super interesting piece of video game trivia, now is your time to shine!
Email your question, answer, and screen name to [email protected] with the subject line “DBX Trivia” by midnight November 8th. One submission per person, please.
Wondering what makes a good trivia question? Here are some handy guidelines:
- We’re NOT looking for the hardest question you can think of. Aim for something in the “medium” difficulty range. The last thing we want is a battery of impossible questions and no one knowing any of the answers!
- A great question makes people go “Ohhhhhh, of course!” when they hear the answer. It should be something they will have heard of!
- The best questions will make players say “Wow, that’s really interesting” whether or not they knew the answer.
- Try to build in as many clues as possible in the question. Even if someone doesn’t know the answer outright straight away, they should be able to at least make a decent guess based on what you’ve given them!
- Try to keep it short to medium length. Aim for 300 characters or less, please.
Here are the questions from the DB8 trivia round:

What was the name of the second, less successful spinoff?
A: The Sci-Fi themed “Innocent Life”
Protip: Make it easier than I did last year when I wound up completely destroying people with that You Don’t Know Jack game. (Which serves as a cautionary tale: think of the possibility that your question may be asked to a bunch of loopy people on Day 7 of the run. That’s a thing I didn’t consider last year.)
