Rarer answers win.

Uncommon Trivia is a free daily trivia game built on one rule: the rarer your correct answer, the more it scores. Every day at 00:00 UTC everyone gets the same seven questions. Each one names a category — a chemical element, a country in Africa, a novel by Charles Dickens — and asks for one answer in 25 seconds, with one guess and no multiple choice. A full round takes about three minutes.

How the scoring works

Every accepted answer is ranked by how often people look it up: the median of its monthly English Wikipedia page views over the last six months, so one news spike cannot make a rare answer look common. The most-viewed answer in a category scores 10 points and the least-viewed scores 100, which makes a perfect day worth 700. Ask for a European country and France is correct but obvious, so it scores low; Moldova and San Marino are just as correct and far less looked up, so they score near the top.

After the round

There is no account and nothing to pay. After each question you see your answer's monthly page views, how many other answers it beat, and the three rarest answers you could have given. At the end you can share a row of colored squares that shows your score without giving away a single answer. The archive keeps the last 60 days playable, unlimited mode draws seven random categories whenever you want another round, and only today's puzzle counts toward your streak.
