Daily Trivia

Daily trivia challenge with streaks, scores, and leaderboards.

One set of questions a day, the same for everyone, with a streak worth protecting. Short enough for a coffee queue and shared enough to argue about afterwards.

What a v1 does5 features
  • A fresh set each day, identical for every player
  • Streaks, with one grace day a month
  • Scores compared against friends and against everybody
  • Categories rotated so it is not the same subject weekly
  • A result card built for sharing

The market

1B playersa year at Kahoot, which earns mainly from education licensing

Kahoot's consumer app takes an estimated $38,500 a week and Trivia Crack about $33,000, or roughly $1.7M a year. The audience is very large and the consumer subscription is small, and $3 a month is priced with that in mind.

Why this audience

This audience already plays along - the format is questions and the viewing is participation rather than watching. A daily set with a streak is the same behaviour with somewhere to keep score. The habit exists before the app does.

Before it can launch

No licence, certification or data agreement stands between this and a launch — app-store review and an ordinary privacy policy aside.

How the pricing works

Free with ads, $3 to remove them. A daily-streak game lives on habit, and a paywall on day one kills the habit before it forms - so the percentage below is the share who convert to paid, not the share who play.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
