Hello Tricksters!
We're heading back to Isle del Trickster for another holiday getaway!
The Trivia Tricks Summer Splash event has returned and is better than ever! The event will be available from now until September 1st!
First off, you’ll notice The Isle is looking a bit different! Since the Tricksters discovered it last year they’ve made the space much more homely. There’s also suitable summer music on the stage now, meaning all levels have unique music. We hope you'll enjoy some quality time at the beach, and don't forget your sunscreen!
Of course, Summer Splash includes some limited-time challenges and exclusive cosmetics! Some challenges will reward you with Summer Shells that can be exchanged for cosmetics, while others grant exclusive items!
As well as returning challenges, there’s a new set inspired by the recent addition of Steam Workshop support. If you need help with a challenge don't hesitate to make use of the Trivia Tricks Discord! As always, all of the cosmetics from last year have returned too, so grab them while you can!
We’ve also got some UI additions to share! Trending Workshop packs will now appear in the main menu and can be subscribed to! Additionally, after players have seen enough questions in a pack, they will be asked if they want to submit a rating. We think this will reward creators for their hard work and help players find the highest quality packs that are being uploaded! We’re also experimenting with pack tags, filter options for question count and an expanded search tool. Watch this space!
Oh! One last thing! Achievement hunters will find a new achievement tracking menu in the Statistics page. Have you reached 100% completion yet? There’s also a new button in the Workshop Preview menu to ‘reload’ your question pack so you can quickly review your edits. Hopefully this will make adding those final polishing touches to your packs much faster!
