Test your trivia knowledge with Netflix's 'Triviaverse'

Netflix has a new interactive experience you can play with your trivia-loving friends and family these holidays. Triviaverse will throw rapid-fire questions at you, giving you a chance to answer within a time limit. You can play alone and go through three rounds with increasing difficulty per try or play with a friend in a turn-based bout with two rounds each. If you enter more correct answers within the time limit, you win the match.

According to Netflix, it pulls questions from any topic "you can imagine." So, it ranges from science, history, pop culture, and more. You will unlock badges the higher your score is, making you work for that Triviaverse God title. This interactive experience is available in English, Spanish (LatAm), Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Spanish (Spain), Italian, Korean, and Japanese. And it's accessible from all devices capable of running Netflix's interactive experiences, including smart TVs, consoles, streaming media players, mobile devices, and browsers.
