There's the app that is taking the Apple App Store by storm. It's Trivia Crack, and it can be very addicting. The game has a fun and inviting feel to it with great colors and fun music being played. Latin Post tested it with both the sound on and off (we preferred it with the sound off).

The purpose is simple: Play trivia with your friends. This game is more than just answering random questions, however. There is strategy involved.

If you recall Trivial Pursuit (or if you still play it), you will love Trivia Crack. The categories are: sports, art, science, geography, history and entertainment. Much like Trivial Pursuit, you want to master each category. The questions are user-submitted and are typically either very challenging or very easy.

Instead of getting a piece of pie (like in Trivial Pursuit), you get a cute little character when you answer enough questions right in each category.

Trivia Crack is a social game, so challenging your friends is quite fun. You can also play with strangers throughout the world.

Every time you enter a Trivia Crack match, you will spin the wheel and answer questions based on the category you just spun. Answer wrong, and it's your opponent's turn.

What is frustrating about Trivia Crack though is playing the waiting game. Sometimes, if your opponent is not online and you are dying to play the next round of the addicting game, you are forced to wait for them to take their turn. This is how social gaming works, very similar to Words With Friends.

Also, if you are playing Trivia Crack too much you will run out of "lives" and have to annoy your friends on Facebook for some more lives or pay a pretty penny to purchase them. In my opinion, do not waste your money and just wait for more lives to come instead.

Overall, the game is a great, educational and fun way to play trivia. It gets your brain firing and your competitive spirits high. Take a spin on the wheel and hope it lands on your favorite category.
