TxtImpact Trivia applications provided single- or multi-round Short Message Service (SMS) trivia games. Trivia games are
fun and easy to play, and generate brand interaction and revenues from mobile data services. Trivia games can be played
in several modes—elimination, competition, single-player and multi-player—creating varying degrees of difficulty and challenge.
Users are awarded points and/or prizes based on the modes and degrees of difficulty.
TxtImpact offers two types of trivia games: single-round and multi-round
|
|
- Single-round trivia: These games prompt participants to answer one or multiple questions, and are typically used in promotions where consumers view a question on a product package and text in an answer.
- Multi-round trivia: These games build up challenges and encourage repeated competition. Participants advance through multiple rounds of questions, often competing against one another and accruing points toward winning one or multiple prizes.

| Single-round Trivia: |
|
|
Single-round trivia can be played in two modes: Code Prompt and Direct Input. |
|
- Code Prompt: The participant texts in a keyword (e.g., DIET) and receives a trivia question. In Code Prompt mode, a different trivia question can be returned each time the participant plays the game.
- Direct Input: In this mode, the trivia question is displayed to the participant via a separate medium, such as a candy wrapper or advertisement. The first message sent by the participant is the answer to the trivia question. In Direct Input mode, only one question can be used for all participants, but this question can be changed on a regular basis if required.
