Laz Burke, a UI/UX designer, wanted a trivia game his wife couldn’t breeze through — one that rewards reading the question rather than recalling the answer. He built it for her, then put it on the App Store.
Every question is built to be misread: some lean on a misconception, others turn on a single word that changes the answer if you skim past it. The traps get denser as the difficulty rises. The game is named for the Norse god who won wisdom contests not by knowing more than his opponents but by asking questions they could not answer. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, are the app’s mark.
“Trivia usually rewards the person who memorised the most. I wanted to build something that rewards the person who slows down.” Laz Burke, developer
