IQ & brain test: Triviascapes is a trivia and quiz app used for testing your knowledge and sharpening your brain. It came out a few years ago and you can find it on Google Play and the App Store. The app is free to download and it works on most phones and tablets. It has millions of installs around the world. You do need to register to save your progress, but it is quick and easy. There are also in app purchases for extra hints and some ads between levels. The game mixes quiz questions with landscape building, so you answer questions to earn coins and then use those coins to build beautiful scenes.

When you open the app, you start with simple questions and then they get harder. Each correct answer gives you coins. You use the coins to buy items for your landscape. I usually play for ten or fifteen minutes when I have a break. My tip is to read each question carefully because some answers look similar. Also, do not rush. If you are not sure, use a hint, but save your hints for really tough questions. Another tip is to log in with your account so you do not lose progress when you change phones. The app also has daily challenges that give bonus coins. I try to do those every morning with my coffee. It is a fun way to wake up my brain.

I have tried other quiz apps like Trivia Crack and Brain Test. They are good, but I like IQ & brain test: Triviascapes more because it mixes trivia with building. In Trivia Crack you just answer questions and that is it. In Brain Test you solve puzzles but there is no building. This app gives you a goal to work toward. You are not just answering questions for a score, you are creating something. The questions are also more varied. Some are about history, some about science, some about pop culture. I also like that the app is not too pushy with ads. Some apps show an ad after every question, but this one is more relaxed. That is why I keep it on my phone and play it almost every day.
