Trivia
Posts an interactive quiz question every N minutes. First members to answer correctly win XP and/or currency.
Engagement → Trivia.
Question kinds
- Multiple choice — pick from N options.
- Unscramble — letters scrambled, guess the word.
- Arithmetic — simple math problem.
- Flag — guess the country from a flag image.
- Geography — name the country from a description.
- Landmark — name the place from a photo.
Each kind can be individually toggled on/off. A kind you switch off is never used, including as a fallback — if the only kinds left on have nothing to serve (an empty custom bank, say), Phantom skips the round and tries again shortly rather than substituting a kind you disabled.
Arithmetic answers follow normal operator precedence (2 + 3 x 4 is 14), and negative answers are accepted as -7, - 7 or minus 7.
Question sources
Two pools, mixed at a configurable ratio:
- Shared Phantom question bank — a quality-controlled, multi-thousand question pool we maintain for every server. Free to use.
- Per-server custom questions — questions you write yourself, scoped to your server. Up to 1000 per server.
The mix ratio defaults to 50/50.
Settings

|---|---|---|
| Enabled | off | Master switch. |
| Channel | none | Where questions post. |
| Interval (minutes) | 60 | Time between rounds. 5–1440. |
| Round TTL (seconds) | 90 | How long a question stays open. 30–1800. |
| Winners needed | 3 | Stops accepting answers after N correct. |
| XP reward | 0 | Per-winner. Set 0 to disable. |
| Currency reward | 0 | Per-winner. Requires Economy. Set 0 to disable. |
| Kind toggles | all on | Per-kind enable/disable. |
| Shared / custom mix | 50% | 0% = all custom, 100% = all from the shared bank. |

Tips
- Interval = 60min keeps trivia frequent without becoming background noise. Lower to 15-30min for active servers.
- Mix custom questions even if you have time to write a few — server-specific questions delight regulars.
- XP rewards drive participation more than currency rewards on most servers.
- Disable kinds that don't fit your community — a gaming server probably doesn't want Geography.
