Games like Krillion

What makes rare-answer trivia different
In most quizzes the right answer is the most obvious one. In rare-answer trivia the incentive flips: many answers are correct, but the ones few people think of score more. It rewards breadth of knowledge over speed, and it is a pleasure to see how your answers rank against everyone else's.
