About

Trivia School is a web application designed for a single purpose - to help you learn trivia as efficiently as possible. We accomplish this in two main ways.

First, on any given subject, we provide all the information you need but not a word more. If you've tried to study trivia before, you've probably been frustrated about how there is always too much or too little information available. Books and Wikipedia articles go too far in depth for your needs, but searching for "quick summaries" of a subject results in a lot of missing information. At Trivia School, we strive to include all the information needed to master a trivia subject while stripping away everything else.

Secondly, we provide various tools and features designed to help you study in a variety of ways, all customizable to your preferences. All information can be sorted by rarity. In our table guides, you can shift the columns or hide and reveal the data like flashcards. Questions can be answered via multiple choice or by grading yourself. With a free account, you can save your quiz results and view them, by quiz or by category, at any time to track your progress. You can also set exactly the percentage needed to be considered a "passing" grade.

All information at the most common rarity level is provided free of charge. There are also some specially selected guides and quizzes (marked with a ) that provide all the information for free. With a paid subscription, you get full access to all rarity levels across all guides and quizzes. We are still in the process of adding many, many more guides and quizzes. But by becoming an early adopter, and purchasing a paid subscription now, you can help to get that content created faster.

Guides

Our guides are designed to help you learn trivia in the fastest way possible. They are fully customizable to your specific learning preferences.

Rarity Levels

Every trivia fact on Trivia School is divided into one of five rarity levels, with Level 1 being the most common and Level 5 being the least common.

You can choose which levels you want to study at any time and hide all the rest. Maybe you want to study all at once. Or perhaps you want to start with only the most common facts to make gains quickly, and then move on to the next level. Or maybe you feel that the rarest facts are too rare to be worth the effort to study and so you want to study everything but them. You can choose any combination of levels you want. To show a particular rarity level, simply check its checkbox, or, uncheck it to hide it. Note that, without a paid subscription, you will only have access to Level 1 facts except for a few specially selected guides (marked with a ).

Show Rarity

Rarity

You can use this checkbox to either show or hide which rarity level a particular fact is.

Show Table Controls

Table Controls

For table guides, there are controls above each column. With this box unchecked, the controls will only appear when you hover over them. With it checked, they will display permanently. This is especially helpful for touchscreen devices that don't have a cursor for hover functionality.

Shift Columns

For table guides, there will be a left and right arrow above each column. You can use these to shift the column either left or right. You could use this, for example, if you were studying capitals by state, but wanted to study states by capital instead.

Blackout Column

You can click on the lightbulb icon above any column to hide the text in that column. You can then reveal the text in an individual cell by hovering over it, or tapping it. You can use this to study in a way similar to using flashcards.

Sort Column

You can click on the name of any column to sort that column in ascending order.

You can click on the name of a column that is being sorted in ascending order to sort that column in descending order.

Questions

Just like our guides, our quizzes are designed to help you learn trivia fast and are fully customizable to your preferences. If you are logged in, your quiz results will be saved.
