Trivia
Posts an interactive quiz question every N minutes. First members to answer correctly win XP and/or currency.
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.
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.

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.
