What is Trivia Chatters?

+

Trivia Chatters is a website that allows people to answer (very) random trivia questions in a chat room environment. Play with friends, meet new people, and prove your useless knowledge!

Is it free to play?

+

It's totally free to play. However, if you're a high scorer, we may ask you to take a break (so that other players get a chance to answer), or tip 10 tokens to continue.

I found a bug β€” what should I do?

+

Some bugs exist that may never be fixed due to the way the chat designer has implemented their spam filters (repeated lines of text or unacceptable words/phrases). This will sometimes mean the QuizBot doesn't display a question or an answer. Sorry about that!

If you find a serious bug, please contact us and we'll look into it.

I found an incorrect question or answer

+

Use the contact form to let us know about incorrect data. Since we have over 120,000 questions, there are bound to be some incorrect facts. But please bear in mind that in some instances, you may have encountered the "filtering" bug mentioned above.

I answered correctly, but the bot said "I guess nobody knows the answer" β€” WTF!?

+

Again, take note of the "bugs" above. There's also a tiny lag on the bot. You have to answer around 1/2 second before the bot is getting ready to say nobody knows the answer, otherwise you won't get the point. Timing is everything!

If your camera isn't working, try these steps:

  • Check browser permissions: Look for a camera icon in your browser's address bar and ensure access is allowed.
  • Close other apps: Only one program can use your camera at a time. Close Zoom, Teams, or Skype.
  • Restart your browser: Sometimes simply closing and reopening your browser fixes the issue.
  • Try a different browser: If Chrome doesn't work, try Firefox or Edge.
  • Update your browser: Make sure you're using the latest version.
  • Check your camera settings: Ensure your camera is enabled in your system settings.
  • Test your camera: Use webcammictest.com to confirm your camera is working.
  • Still not working? Try restarting your computer or unplugging/reconnecting your webcam.
