5.0 out of 5 stars from 11 ratings
  • Fresh take on trivia

    Even when I don't have any interest in the contestant's specialty categories, the episodes are interesting. Dalton makes some of the most niche subjects accessible. Can't wait for the teased expansions of the current game.

  • Unique Show with Great Trivia

    So many trivia podcasts exist out there but this one truly stands out because of its play style. I love the progression of difficulty in questions and how strategy really does play a part in a successful game. Even if you aren’t an expert in the chosen categories, the host does an outstanding job making them accessible. A good listen, a fun one, and something to scratch that trivia itch you may have! Keep up the good work!

  • Keys to success

    This show is great. Took me a few shows to get the procedure. It is truly unique! So sad when people lose their keys I actually feel bad for them. Love that the contestants choose their topics. That concept has been showing up in a few other trivia shows and it is fun.
