Posts: 10 Country : China | Wendy posted @ 2021-11-17 2:35 PM Hi Wei-Hwa, The Trivia Quiz is still under construction (apologies). Two things I can say now are that: 1. It will be on Kahoot. 2. It will mostly (or only) contain questions related to WSPC, including past WSPC facts, this year's event, Sudokus, Puzzles, and people who have participated in WSPC. Let me know if you have more questions I can answer. And I will continue to work on the Trivia Quiz! |
