What Is Trivia Dragon?
Trivia Dragon is a trivia gaming website that offers three brief gameplay opportunities daily. The site emails you three questions daily: one basic question, one multiple-choice trivia question, one brain teaser question, and one poll question. In return for answering each question, you’ll be entered into a pool of potential winners. You don’t have to answer the questions correctly or the poll in a certain way to have a chance to win; instead, you’ll be entered so long as you submit an answer at all.
Once a day, three $50 Amazon gift cards are given away by Trivia Dragon to those who have answered the previous day’s questions. Plus, there are three $5000 yearly jackpots that you’re automatically entered to win when you begin playing Trivia Dragon.
Trivia Dragon can be found on www.amillionquizzes.com. Some of the emails I received listed www.puzz.com as the Trivia Dragon website; this URL redirected me to the former one. Why do these URLs not match the game’s title? Your guess is as good as ours, but it’s one of the first yellow flags we noticed when we began exploring all things Trivia Dragon.
Is Trivia Dragon Legit?
So, is Trivia Dragon legit? In our opinion: kind of. There’s little chance of earning actual cash unless you get especially lucky and win one of three $5000 cash prizes that are given out once annually. Your chances of doing this are slim, though they increase with every daily Trivia Dragon question you answer. Still, this prize is essentially a lottery.
You can score an Amazon gift card by participating in Trivia Dragon if Lady Luck is in your favor. However, this potential reward is probably not worth the possibility of being scammed—and with Trivia Dragon, that’s a strong possibility.
Trivia Dragon is a sweepstakes website, meaning that once you sign up and start answering questions, you are entered to win regardless of whether you’ve answered the questions correctly or not. It’s void in New York and Florida, where sweepstakes are restricted, so keep that in mind when seeking out your trivia fix.
Personally, the barrage of scammy emails I endured at the hands of Trivia Dragon (more on those later) was not worth the possibility of an Amazon gift card. I’m a little squeamish about the prospect of my information being sold, and I feared that the email links Trivia Dragon sent my way might infect my computer with a virus. There’s nothing like having your personal information immediately sold to third parties to turn you off from a fun game, huh?
Still, the testimonials from the winners are awfully compelling. Plenty of users are pictured on Trivia Dragon’s website, gleefully clutching their Amazon gift cards as they take selfies and expressing their disbelief in their wins.
Supposedly, these people were entered to win regardless of whether or not they answered the daily brain teaser or trivia question correctly, as can be read on Trivia Dragon’s “How It Works” page:
All in all, Trivia Dragon seems more like a site used for playing the game of chance than the game of trivia. That said, if you want to learn more about engaging with Trivia Dragon, keep scrolling.
Signing Up for Trivia Dragon
To sign up for Trivia Dragon, you must provide your email address. That way, the site can send you the three daily trivia questions you must answer for a chance to win money.
After I set up my account, Trivia Dragon displayed the following message on my screen:
“$25 check [your name]” wasn’t the best subject line for this email, as it did not award me a $25 check (though it did implore me to click on some extraneous hyperlinks to earn more money). The email also didn’t mention $25; instead, it promised me a $100 reward…
Looks super professional, right? Not! This simplistic email formatting does not match the polished look of the Trivia Dragon website.
It was curious to me how the font size was so much larger for the payment offer than the trivia questions—it almost seemed like the questions were hiding. Nevertheless, I kept to the task and accessed the daily questions through the links provided in this email.
Clicking on the email brought me to a page where this alert was displayed:
From there, I clicked “Answer Now!” and the game officially began.
Playing Trivia Dragon
Clicking “Answer Now!” brought me to my first question, the poll of the day:
Below are the options for the survey’s answers. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a flashy ad separating the question from the possible answers.
I answered with my opinion, and Trivia Dragon once again informed me I was now eligible for its daily and grand prizes.
Next was “Today’s Trivia,” which brought me to this screen:
After I answered the question, I was brought to a new page that told me my answer was correct.
Lastly, I answered the daily brain teaser. Instead of asking me a trivia fact, this challenged me to think outside the box. That being said, the question was pretty simple. (And even if I hadn’t gotten it right, I would have still been entered into the gift card raffle.)
Here’s another brain teaser question from the following day:
As you can see, this question utilizes the same simple format and concept. These questions might be more suitable for younger users or those who are less confident in their trivia abilities.
After each question, I was shown the breakdown of how other users answered the same question. It’s nice to get a little affirmation about your skills with brain games, I suppose!
Remember, to play Trivia Dragon, you must access their games through an email sent to you daily. When you visit the Trivia Dragon homepage, the site immediately alerts you that you cannot access their daily quizzes without going through your email. However, below this blurb, a misleading text bubble states that “You’ve unlocked your first question” and implores you to answer now.
I’d already answered several questions by the time I was led to this one, so it wasn’t my first question at all. I found that clicking “Answer Now!” led to a survey question that was not eligible for money and was instead asked for… fun? Scientifically incorrect data? To keep users coming back for more ad revenue? Who knows? This survey question asked me whether I took a short nap daily and gave me the option to answer yes, no, or sometimes.
After giving my answer, I was met with the following alert:
So, my “no” answer was enough to enter me into the pool of potential winners for the daily and grand prizes. But didn’t Trivia Dragon tell me this question was not eligible for money? After all, I accessed it through their website, not their email. Sure, Trivia Dragon said they’d provide daily questions, but I didn’t think they meant questions about the basic workings of their website!
After answering this question, I checked my email for the daily contests. Sure enough, I’d been emailed links to the daily poll, brain teaser, and trivia question of the day. I didn’t take much time to answer all of these, knowing that my answers wouldn’t affect my eligibility to win a gift card.
Some of the questions had ridiculously long explanations for what should have been simple, self-explanatory answers. See for yourself here:
Surely this question didn’t need such a long explanation—its entirety couldn’t even fit in my screenshot!
What happens when you answer a Trivia Dragon question incorrectly? You’ll receive the following message:
Seems like an awful lot of consolation for just one single missed answer, huh?
Pop-Ups and Ads
If you haven’t noticed from the screenshots above, many illegitimate-looking ads appear as you play Trivia Dragon. These ads don’t always look like they’re advertising and appear to be surveys affiliated with the site. They are flashy, provocative, and sometimes inflammatory. Don’t believe me? Check these ads out below:
All we can say is: yikes!
Though it might look like it, these surveys are NOT part of Trivia Dragon gameplay. Clicking on them will take you to third-party websites, where you’ll be asked for your personal information to take a survey.
After arriving at this website, I started receiving regular emails from Survey Voices despite not consenting to sign up for them. Avoid clicking on these ads if you want to preserve the safety of your personal information.
Additionally, pop-up ads occasionally will block your screen after answering a question. Here is a pop-up that appeared before I was able to submit my answer for the daily trivia question:
The skeptic in me does not trust DeluxeBucks.net enough to try my luck, but if you’re feeling lucky and up for the risk of your personal info being sold around, have at it.
Getting Paid
Regarding getting paid, I don’t have much information to provide. See, much as I tried, I never received a payout from Trivia Dragon.
Though I answered their daily questions diligently for a few days after signing up, I never received more than clickbait compelling me to try again. Offers promising the potential of thousands of dollars rolled into my inbox daily, but it seemed these were empty promises. Indeed, I never got a legitimate offer for an Amazon gift card, so my efforts were seemingly for naught.
While some Trivia Dragon ads mention hundreds or thousands of dollars in potential earnings, the maximum any folks have earned from one sitting of Trivia Dragon is a $50 Amazon gift card (tax exemptions, folks!).
That tempting end-of-the-year $5000 sweepstakes is more likely to be earned the more you play, but even so, many daily Trivia Dragon players walk away without a cent to show for it when that sweepstakes rolls around. Unfortunately, that’s just how this type of thing shakes out.
TL;DR, those testimonials that Trivia Dragon displays on their “Winners” page look awfully compelling, but the truth is, it’s harder than it looks to earn one of those coveted Amazon gift cards.
What About All Those Emails?!
Earlier, I alluded to the annoying spam emails I began receiving after signing up for Trivia Dragon. These emails started rolling in mere hours after I entered my personal information into the site. Many of them weren’t formatted in an aesthetic or professional way and instead came across as illegitimate.
These emails came in from left and right, boasting email addresses from sites like educations-reviews.com and mail-job-shark.com. Their subject lines ranged from somewhat intriguing to outright textbook clickbait. “CONGRATS, Member: YOU FINALLY WON $50,000?” read one; “CASH DONATION” read another. Less flashy subject lines included “Find out who’s been calling,” “Check your unclaimed assets,” and “Free Dunkin’ Mailed To You?”.
Clicking on these emails’ links would generally redirect me to www.rewardsgiantusa.com or www.therewardboost.com, both incredibly fishy “get-rich-quick” websites. Upon clicking, my email would be automatically confirmed, and I would be asked for the rest of my personal information. Though I never gave my full name or address, it was seriously jarring to know that, at any moment, I was one wrong click away from Trivia Dragon selling my email out to a new spam site.
When offered an opportunity to earn money answering surveys via Paypal, I was brought to www.buzzworthyoffers.com. Decide for yourself: do you think this site seems legit?
And the more links I clicked, the more spam emails I began to receive. Funny how that works, huh?
Considering the proximity between when I signed up for Trivia Dragon and when I started receiving these spam messages, there is no doubt in my mind that Trivia Dragon sold my personal info almost immediately after I gave it to them. Talk about disappointment. These emails alone were enough to turn me off completely from Trivia Dragon and dissuade me from playing future games from their site, no matter how enticing they might be. There are plenty of other online trivia sources that don’t sell your personal information—you’re better off trying those out instead.
In short, if you don’t want to receive a boatload of emails from some less-than-trustworthy sources, it might not be in your best interest to sign up for Trivia Dragon.
Final Words
Thanks for reading our review of the highs and lows of Trivia Dragon. Overall, it’s a pretty fishy website that’s not to be trusted with your personal information, despite the allure of its daily games.
While Trivia Dragon might seem fun initially, it’s not worth all the pop-up ads and spam emails you’ll receive after signing up. If you want to earn money or prizes through trivia gameplay, your best bet is to try another app (like Trivia Crack Payday or Trivia Bar) or to hit up your local pub trivia night.
