Total Trivia

Built up enough points to hit 2nd place then was told I had to buy my way into continuing to play. This is B. S. Thanks, but no thanks.

The prizes are worthless. Have you researched the manufacturers? Adamant bicycles? JW Krogman silverware? The only thing you'll find are faked Amazon reviews. Why? Because this is a scam. Even if you pay $75 and "win" a "$1,500 bike," what you're getting is a $100 bike with garbage components. If 500 suckers fall for this, Total Trivia scammers get rich. It's an auction scam. Period.

At first you will think it is the greatest app ever... then you realize the Bot, Jonnyconnect is running the show. I was restricted, after i referred several members, and saved up my tickets, and they gave me a phony email address to contact their "compliance" dept, which is nonexistant, so then i went to the Minnesota Better Business Bureau for answrrs, and was able to locate a phone number to Total Trivia. A week later... multiple phone calls, and still no explanation as to why my account was restricted, and no return call from anyone, such as the "manager" they mention will call me, has called. I am filing my complaint with the BBB in Minnesota. They must be stopped. It is modern day thievery. I will also be filing for tefunds on all the money I have spent. BTW, they restricted all my friends that I referred also... how is that right or fair? I call it stealing. No response to why, and no resolution. Buyers beware.

You get to play their "free" game until you hit 20,000 points. Than you can buy tickets you can pay with a credit card or with paypal. So even if you have money on pay pal don't bother picking it. They want your credit card information just for you to use pay pal. Seems more of a scam to get your card information if you ask me.

Spent $25 to win and with 20 seconds to spare a user who is not even in the top 10 suddenly jumps past my score? Total bs! There are bots who jump in and win ALL the prizes at the last minute, honestly it's such crap. You CANNOT win anything without spending money and even then one of the bots will come in the last 20 seconds and steal your spot. I want my money back and will tell EVERYONE I know this app is a SCAM

Not good. They keep lowering the value of "discount coupons" by offering them for cheaper and cheaper, so if you bought them a while ago they are almost useless. Also they started offering some legitimate trivia contests so I bought discount coupons and now they are back to the same old "buy your way to win" model.

I went to buy 20 tickets and it changed my order to 200 and charged me. I went to do it again later for twenty and instead it didnt even ask how many it just charged for 200 this website is a $#*!ing scam and a bot won the prize anyway, also the adding time thing is bs too, because eventually you have to keep buying tickets just to keep going

Stay away from TotalTrivia! I won 3 things in a row then had a charge on my credit card that I didn't make. So I reported it to my bank and the next morning I couldn't compete for anymore prizes I contacted them and they never responded. Plus still haven't received what I won

I am sure you have witnessed the wave of trivia app games that have been popping up promising money or prizes and this is the story of one of them.
I found Total Trivia because it was being promoted on facebook. I was already playing HQ and Cash Show and this was a different kind of trivia game. Total Trivia tests your trivia to win a prize and only 1 will win and that's the last one standing in the game. These prizes range from home decor, amazon gift cards, kitchenware, clothing, etc. and the monetary value is listed in each tournament.
Recently, Total Trivia changed their format to the person with the most points wins. These points are gained by completing 6 questions at a time that are either free by watching ads or paying in tickets.
In 99.9% of cases, you are almost forced into buying additional tickets in order to win these items.
I was in need of a blanket because my blanket was a battlefield to me. The piling on my blanket was really hurting me. As an RSD/CRPS patient, I need a soft lightweight blanket. Advertised every single day on Total Trivia are rounds of tournaments to win these blankets so I continued to take my shot and I would ride it out to see where it was at the 6 minute warning. Twice I won this blanket- one for me and one for my mom.
I was so excited to win this blanket and when it showed up, my heart sank. This is NOT what they advertised! This is a pathetic excuse for a knock off. It is NOT plush. It is NOT lightweight. It's very rough and very heavy. I immediately contacted Total Trivia to give them an opportunity to make it right. And it should be worth noting that when my mother's blanket came in, it was also that awful knock off brand. My mother who does NOT have RSD/CRPS says that it's awful but she ultimately decided to keep it! Total Trivia gave me a label to send it back. They had it for a week and never contacted me. I contacted them saying that I knew they had received it and asked when I would be receiving the item I had actually won. I got a BS response saying that she didnt know how this had happened and it was clearly a mistake in the warehouse and that my correct blanket would be sent out immediately.
Guess what guys, TODAY I received my blanket and guess what it is... THE SAME DAMN BLANKET! It is the SAME awful knock off that is rough and heavy! So heavy that my 9 year old niece struggled to pick it up!
I had received questions upon winning this blanket, asking if this game is legit... I respectfully waited to see if they would make this right but they clearly wont and I therefore REFUSE to recommend or endorse them.
If you play Total Trivia, I HIGHLY recommend you proceed with caution. If you win an item, make sure that it's the actual item you won! If it's not, try and reach out to them and send it back and demand that it's the item that you actually won. You may end up in the same place as me but it'll cost them in shipping labels.
If you want to play a trivia game and win something- play HQ or Cash Show. Total Trivia is a FRAUD and NOT worth you time, effort or money.

There's a sucker born every minute -P. T. Barnum

This game is a testament to that statement.
Here let me explain I'll prove it to you. Oh and I am just as guilty as everyone else. When I downloaded the app/game I thought what a fun and relaxing way to spend some spare time and win some good prizes after playing and having some fun I quickly realized that I was the one being played like a fiddle.
So far to date I have won 3 good semi cheap prizes. Yay me. Lol. Now let's just talk about what I spent to get those "free prizes".
Now mind you there is no way you can win any prizes without spending money with this game, here is why
You are actually playing literally 100's of other people trying to get their prizes for free too, gotta love competition but like everything else in this world where nobody can agree on one thing they refuse to just give up and walk away at second place. Now back to the money cause that's what free enterprise is all about right?
The first prize was a ladies ring that obviously was something I was trying to win for my wife. It is a pretty ring and she is looking forward to receiving it by the "free shipping by FedEx."
At first I played and got to 10,000 points awesome fun. And then the game starts with you watching the advertisements which I'm ok with, I personally like seeing new stuff.! And yes they give you a choice to watch or not ( by using the "coupons") which are priced to sell let me tell you, they seem reasonable. Now I get to 20,000 points and the game starts demanding a minimum of 4 coupons to regain your chance to reign at the top (1st place). As the next person moves up to regain their place at the top the coupon price go's up as well, up to as much as 140+ coupons just to play the trivia game. By the time you realize what's going on you just keep buying coupons which I'm sure is designed to drain your bank account quickly like a Dyson vacuum. And then finally I'm back on top and then the timer starts it's count down and gets below 1 minute and my heart starts to palpitate with excitement... I'm going to win... yes... and then out of left field here comes somebody that wants it more then me! Oh wait, what.! The timer restarts to 3 minutes... oh great another road block so off to the game store again to buy more... you guessed it coupons... so long story short I'm wrapped up in the game for $40 and can't stop now I end up winning after 3 times being a victim of the timer and other gamers trying to out bid/win. With a total cost of $50 on a $150 ring that my wife will love I'm sure. Not bad. So I figure I'll try it again this time on a flashlight and then again on another ring I win them both. Now it's at this point I feel like a gambling junky I can't get enough. Let's try a TV. I start to realize there are some other options to get to the top boost and fast track! Oh boy there's a faster way. Yet another way to get more money out of your bank account into theirs. After playing several hours and not winning the TV at a cost of $ 150.00 and no money returned or even a consolation prize of say 50% of the coupons back. Which I think would be fair. I realized that's what this game is about... not the game or trivia but "money " the root of all evil.!

So what's the moral of the story.
Don't bother playing... it's just a disguise to bait you in and spend your hard earned money on goods that aren't worth it. With no chance of winning anything especially with a 20,000 point ceiling and gives others with more money than you the chance to out bid you on everything. Oh and Im not bitter. Life's not fair right?

The game is letting you know exactly where your station in life is and basing it all on your bank account and the bank account of others. NOT THE GAME

Well played TotalTrivia well played. They are just leaned back in their chairs laughing at all of us counting their $$$$$.

But not from this guy.
App deleted. Lessons learned. At 41 you would have thought I would have learned by now...
NOTHING IS FREE

It all seems real at first and easy but its really a scam. They have bots like JonnyConnect who are just there to rob you of your money. It seems like every time youre in first until the last minute, then some person starts battling you for the item and you go into overtime and end up spending hundreds on tickets and boosters. If you want to actually win it will cost you so much in tickets and the items take forever to ship, sometimes they dont even come at all. If you dont want some scamming app to steal all your money fast I dont recommend using this app.

I don't see how the average middle class person can actually afford to win this game. While fun there's no way to win without spending a small fortune. Sadly I can't afford it. Perhaps if the prizes were worth the money it would be ok but they are overpriced and in reality items I don't need The daily challenges don't award enough to use unless you earn them every day for months. Then you might just have enough to play one tournament and perhaps win. Too rich for me. Too bad.

Don't get suckered in. If you like the "prizes", buy them. You will end up spending the money anyway on their "free" game.

I stopped playing at Total Trivia it was great for awhile then it seemed certain players were on every single day 24hrs a day and winning I started feeling it was a fraud after noticing Johnny connect playing all year 24hrs a day. I couldn't win no matter how many points I had. And I lost alot I quit after thinking it is all a fraud

You can really tell it was made with good intent. That said I would advise anyone thinking about getting on this app to not spend your own money. I got on the app played in 12 different games. Spent $6.00 and I saved that for the very last minutes of a game to win an item. So here I was the winner 1 minute left and I was about to win and I went down to 2nd okay I though I will spend my money now. It added more tie on the clock WTF... really now the score is going out of control. This guy is a BOT or has a large amount of coupons, he just kept on and on until I7 had to either give up or buy more. I put the phone down and deleted the app. Nope I am not falling for it. You see these app's set it up to have trolls bidding their own items so they don't have to give it all to you, and I am not playing with them not thank you. I would love my $6 back as well :) what a complete rip off... I would not support a app that makes the rules so unfair if you can trade in a prize for cupons to become the master of the game that is just F'ed up period... You all need to change that right away. Point blank.

If you're one of those idiots that plays apps for money oh, this one is for you. There's hardly any incentive to play this app, as the rewards are terrible for the amount of time you have to spend to claim them. The questions are lazily put together, and despite having categories, 80% of the questions involves a celebrity or movies. This game is a hundred percent free to play because total trivia has nothing to offer. Don't waste your time with this pathetic app.

Initially, I had written a Review sharing the pros and cons of this site. I'm re-writing my review to express the fact that there are no longer pros.

I quit this site years ago. The economy changes so fast that it becomes impossible to win without gambling. Which is not something you never want to do on these sites.

Do not spend your money here. There are bots galore, and you will not beat the addicts and whales for useful items.

Avoid this app, and it's clone Dealdash, at all costs. Let them collapse under the weight of their own borderline-illegal gambling and bot-driven player manipulation.

There are really no good discounts, or free items. You have to purchase "tickets" to play after achieving 20,000 trivia points for free. The whole thing is set up just to take as much of your money as possible. I can't believe sites like this are even legal. Stay away, and don't waste your time or your money.

Any time for the game you play bots keeps boosting the score. Once you are out, they just stop playing suddenly. Total fake, total bogus

DO NOT USE THIS SITE! I have spent $40 on coupons and NEVER won ANYTHING! Just stay away from this site, they just want your MONEY!

Can tell just by looking that values given for items are grossly overinflated, and from reading other reviews, you can see that you are really paying full price for whatever you "win". This is for stupid people with too much time on their hands!

There are a select few people who have been playing since the beginning who win it all. No chance for deals anymore!

I played until I got 10,000 points. Then they forced me to watch ads. Ok, so I watch the ads. Then i hit 20,000 points and now they are forcing me to pay money to bid.

There was advertising on TV showing it is all free bidding and sponsors pay for the prizes as they show and feature their products. Look, I am fine with watching ads, but what is this nonsense? I have to pay to bid after I get 20,000 points?
