Say adieu to that carefully crafted schedule, because once users get started with the IMDB Trivia App, it's hard to concentrate on anything else. Whether you were looking for a dependable time-sink or not, this app is hard to ignore.
Can you quote scenes from The Shining verbatim? Would you recognize Natalie Portman's hairstyle from the film V for Vendetta? If the answer to these questions is a resounding "Yes," then you may be prepared to take on the challenge of the IMDB Trivia App. Released today for free, the iOS application will test your memory of films, TV shows and the celebrities who star in them. Progressing through the five increasingly difficult levels feels a lot like playing Brain Age, except without the flustering logic questions. If you have a vendetta to settle with another cinephile, why not choose the non-violent route and duke it out over some Hollywood trivia?
