Netflix received tremendous success and positive feedback after the release of Bandersnatch from the world of the hit streaming sci-fi series Black Mirror, the first interactive episode of a TV series on the platform. Netflix decided to keep going in that direction and partnered with Trivia Crack to create an interactive trivia show.
Trivia Quest is just like a game of Trivia Crack, with questions and categories, and even a few familiar faces! Look at it as Dora the Explorer for adults! Willy is the narrator, and he needs your help to free his friends from Rocky, the villain. You can help him by answering trivia questions correctly. So, who is it we’re saving, exactly?
In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the characters of Trivia Quest. Check out the descriptions to know if they are worth saving!
Willy
Willy is the Trivia Crack wheel that contains all six question categories and an additional “Crown” category. He is the character that narrates the game and invites you to join him on an adventure to free his friends from Rocky, the villain.
Willy has a bubbly personality. He is very animated and excited. He’s always smiling and doing little dances.
Hector
Hector is Trivia Quest’s golden knight that is in charge of the history category. He exhibits great curiosity about the world around him. Hector never leaves his pair of binoculars unattended, as he’s always looking for new things to study. His favorite places are the library and the museum.
Bonzo
Bonzo is a brown football with muscles of steel (when he choses to flex them). Naturally, Bonzo represents the sports category. He is very sporty and he never likes to stand still. You will often see him jogging in place or doing jumping jacks. Much like Willy, he is always smiley and excited. You might find him doing laps on the track or supporting your favorite football team.
Pop
Pop is a pink popcorn bucket that represents the entertainment category. He is naturally charming and a great character to be around. Don’t forget that he’s extremely photogenic, or so do the paparazzi think, anyway; they follow him everywhere he goes. Most often, you will find him walking the red carpet, posing for pictures, and blowing kisses to the crowd.
Because of his unstoppable charisma, Pop is my personal favorite.
Albert
Albert the test tube is the science guy of Trivia Quest. You will find him in his laboratory, conducting experiments and working on new solutions. Whenever he can catch a break, he will ask you a question about science.
Albert is curious about the world of science, always looking around for some new experiments to conduct. Though he might look like a movie villain when he taps his fingers together, he is just as nice as the next guy. And bubbly, literally!
Tito
Tito is a blue globe that represents geography. Tito is very silly and goofy, bouncing around on the floor and smiling from ear to ear. He loves to travel, so you will often find him in different places of the world.
Though geography was never my favorite subject, Tito makes it fun for everyone. His questions are not all about the science of geography. He puts his own spin on questions from other categories and makes them fit the theme of geography.
Tina
Tina is a red paintbrush with a big head of fiery red hair and a pinkish-red hairband keeping it out of her face. She represents the category of art. Much like all the other characters of Trivia Quest, she doesn’t like to stand still.
She is in her element in an art gallery. She likes to jump around among the paintings and sculptures, but she does so carefully and skillfully. Because she takes care of the gallery in Trivia Quest, she wipes the floor with her hair. In her free time, she likes to observe art and create it, too. She is a paint brush after all!
Rocky
Rocky is a sword, and he is the villain of the show. He has trapped all the characters in his dungeon, where each character has an individual little prison hanging from the ceiling. It is unknown why he would do such a thing.
Whenever a character is rescued from Rocky’s dungeon, he shakes his fist in anger, but he can’t do anything about it. Rocky is Willy’s worst enemy.
Andy
Andy is the golden crown and he’s many people’s favorite character, both in Trivia Crack and Trivia Quest. In the original game, you get to spin the wheel and answer a question in the category you land on. If you land on the crown, you can pick any category! In other words, Andy has often been and continues to be our savior when it comes to difficult categories and questions.
Other Characters
You can see other characters in the dungeon or when an episode ends. There is a purple heart wearing sunglasses, a blue question mark, and an orange book. Do they look familiar? They shouldn’t! A reader has shared with us that all three make their first appearance in Trivia Quest. They’ve not been a part of Trivia Crack before.
Let’s get to know the new characters! The heart is named Sweetie, the book’s name is Paige, and the question mark goes by the name of Mark.
Even though the characters make an appearance in every episode, they only have a few seconds of screen time, and we don’t get to learn anything about them. We might find out more in the new seasons of the show!
Have Any Characters Been Retired?
Trivia Quest debuted on April 1st of 2022. So far, there’s only been one season with 30 episodes that all came out in April. We have not seen any characters retire just yet, though we might expect it in future seasons. We also hope that Rocky will be defeated!
Final Words
Trivia Quest has only been around for a few months, but it has already won viewers’ hearts. The show invites viewers to participate in the game and help the main character defeat the villain. Each episode is quite short, so going through the first 30 episodes was not a difficult task.
What awaits in the future? We don’t know. Hopefully, Netflix decides to continue putting out episodes of Trivia Quest and we get to learn more about the characters that usually stay quiet throughout the episodes.
