Inside the 2026 content

Fresh subjects.
Questions your audience connects with.

Recent trivia can add variety to an established question bank or give a new product a recognisable cultural starting point. Discuss the subjects below with our team and we will confirm the content available for your brief.

Film & television

Recent releases, streaming series, screen talent and awards provide opportunities for entertainment questions. Build a broad mix or focus on the genres and viewing habits that matter to your players.

We can discuss release periods, territories and how much specialist knowledge your audience is likely to have.

Sport & competitions

Bring recent sporting moments into your question selection, alongside established knowledge of teams, players and competitions. Select content around the sports your audience follows.

Tell us whether you need a broad international mix or a focused collection for a particular sport or market.

Music & celebrities

Artists, releases, performances and entertainment personalities can help a quiz feel relevant to its audience. The right selection depends on age, interests and cultural familiarity.

We shape the balance between widely recognisable names and content for more knowledgeable fans.

TikTok & internet culture

Creators, social platforms and online trends offer a different kind of general knowledge. These subjects can be particularly useful when your players recognise the references from everyday digital life.

Because trends move quickly, we agree the relevant period and check the fit with your intended audience.

Apps & console games

Recent games and releases sit alongside wider gaming knowledge, from franchises and characters to platforms and gameplay. Choose a casual-player mix or a more specialist gaming brief.

We can discuss the platforms and gaming interests most relevant to the product you are building.

News & cultural trends

Recent events and shifts in popular culture can support topical rounds, themed collections and audience engagement. Clear dates and context help a question remain understandable after the moment has passed.

Tell us the territory, period and editorial boundaries you want the selection to cover.

Human expertise behind every question

Researched. Written. Verified.

Our trivia is created by professional writers and fact-checked. We do not use AI tools to generate trivia content. Human judgement matters when deciding what to ask, how to phrase it and which answer options make the question work.

Accuracy with context

Recent subjects need careful wording. Dates, competition names, territories and award categories can change the meaning of an answer. We consider those details as part of research and verification.

Clear question writing

A useful quiz question needs an answer that can be defended. We work to avoid vague wording and make multiple choice options fit the question, the difficulty and the audience.

Audience awareness

Being recent does not automatically make a subject relevant. We consider what your players know and enjoy, and help balance familiar references with questions that offer a challenge.

Build the right content mix

Combine recent moments.
With lasting knowledge.

A quiz built entirely around recent events can become dated quickly. Mixing topical content with established knowledge lets you add timely interest while retaining a wider range of playable subjects.

For digital products, recent collections can support new rounds and themed challenges. For printed or physical products, we can discuss questions tied to a clearly defined year or period, rather than wording that relies on what is happening “now”.

From content selection to integration

The right questions.
In a structure your team can use.

Multiple choice content includes category and subcategory tags and difficulty ratings. Discuss your question volume, answer options, character limits and field requirements before we agree the final selection.

Select around your brief

Specify the audience, territory, topics and time period you need. We will confirm available coverage and agree the mix of subjects and difficulty levels for your product.

Agree commercial use

Content can be licensed for a fixed term or in perpetuity, subject to the agreed terms. Tell us where and how it will be used so the licence reflects your project.

Choose your delivery

We supply Excel, CSV, JSON and XML and can work with your required structure. API integration is available to discuss on request; it is scoped around your requirements.
