Pros
Quizzers With Attitude
Whilst this site will definitely not win any prizes in a beauty contest, the core idea of this site is brilliant and very, very, very addictive. Sporcle is a gateway to knowledge or stupidity depending how you look at it, with a library of thousands if not millions of trivia based quizzes.
Once you have found your way about the site it’s quite straight forward (you have to ignore the rather large ads which this month seem to be about getting the whitest teeth possible) you can search for a quiz in the mini google search bar or if you have no imagination then you can choose from 16 genres on the left hand side or look at the top 20.
Once you have selected a quiz it’s time to hit the start button and it’s a race against time to fill in the answers to the quiz. They are a lot harder when the pressure is on and you will be surprised at the answers you miss, and is a great drinking game (wrong answer drinks!)
Cons
Quiz Off!
Like we briefly mentioned before this is one unloved site, and we assume has been left in the same clothes since the day it was born way back in 2007. The UX of the site could also do with a big refresh which we think would really take Sporcle to a new level and make it a more complete site.
Go on Sporcle get a new suit and tie!
