Sporcle is a trivia website which allows users to take quizzes on a range of subjects using the web or a mobile device. Sporcle began operations as an online trivia website, launched on January 30, 2007, and expanded into the pub quiz business in 2013.
The Sporcle website was started in response to website founder Matt Ramme's desire to learn trivia and his accompanying frustration that there was no existing website suitable for his needs.[2] Users can play and make quizzes on this trivia quiz website, which hosts close to one million user-made quizzes that have been played over 3.4 billion times. According to Ramme, the name of the company is inspired by the words sports and oracle.
The company's headquarters are located in Seattle and the Detroit metro area.[3]
Sporcle.com[edit]
Gameplay[edit]
Some games on Sporcle require the user to name all of the items within a given subject—such as presidents of the US, Best Picture Oscar-winning movies, or countries whose names are also legal words in Scrabble. Quizzes may also be clickable, have pictures and slideshows, be in crossword format, or involve a map.[4][5]
Players can play quizzes alone, with or without a timer, challenge other users with their scores, or compete against other users in live showdowns. Quizzes come in eight game types: Classic, Clickable, Picture Click, Map, Multiple Choice, Picture Box, Slideshow, and Grid, each of which can be played in a variety of ways, including Minefield, Forced Order, or entering the answers in any order. The type and method by which users will complete the quiz is chosen by the quiz creators.
Categories[edit]
The games on Sporcle fall into 15 categories: Entertainment, Gaming, Geography, History, Holiday, Just for Fun, Language, Literature, Miscellaneous, Movies, Music, Religion, Science, Sports, and Television. Each category has a number of sub-categories as well. Geography and Sports are the most played of the categories.
As of March 2020, the site has over 800,000 quizzes (both published and user created) that have been played a total of over 3.4 billion times. The site reached 500 million plays on April 23, 2011,[6] 1 billion on April 12, 2013,[7] 2 billion on October 15, 2016,[8] and 3 billion on April 2, 2019.[9]
To date, the most popular quiz on Sporcle is 'Find the US States - No Outlines Minefield', created by user mhershfield, which has been played over 30 million times.[10]
Appeal[edit]
Despite Ramme's expectation that Sporcle would appeal to older users, students also use the website.[2][11] From October 2010 to 2017, Sporcle featured a 'College Rankings' competition on the site's home page, which tracked students registered on the site from a variety of universities, and ranked the top 100 schools according to their weekly usage of Sporcle.[12] Sporcle quizzes are embedded on Mental Floss,[13] ESPN, various SB Nation blogs,[14] and played by hundreds of sites and individuals around the internet.[15][16][17][18][19]
Membership[edit]
Registering on the website is optional and free, but only members can create quizzes, have their playing stats tracked, earn accomplishment badges, and comment on and rate quizzes.
On October 13, 2016, Sporcle announced an optional 'Sporcle Orange' subscription, where users can pay a monthly fee for additional functionality and the removal of advertising.[20] Sporcle's Vice President, Derek Pharr, said in a forum comment that 'all the features currently offered will remain free.'[21]
Badges[edit]
Released in September 2014, Sporcle added badges that require users to fulfill certain goals. Sporcle continues to add new badges weekly, with examples ranging from 'Time Bandit' to 'Shiver Me Timbers!', requiring users to complete tasks on specific dates and play specific quizzes to fulfill the requirements.
To date, Sporcle offers 983 badges, which have been collected over 28 million times.

Sporcle hosts live pub trivia nights in 33 different US States.
History[edit]
In 2009, Mark Adams, now Sporcle\'s Vice President of Live Trivia, founded Motor City Trivia. The business expanded to the Toledo, OH area as Glass City Trivia. Both eventually merged into Great Lakes Trivia in 2011.[22]
In 2012, Great Lakes Trivia agreed to become a part of the Sporcle family, with the first shows as Sporcle Live taking place on January 2, 2013.
In January of 2020, Sporcle acquired Stump! Trivia and its related assets from NTN Buzztime.[23]
Categories[edit]
In addition to weekly general knowledge trivia,[24] Sporcle Live hosts themed trivia nights for players interested in specific topics[25][26] as well as in partnership with events like Motor City Comic Con.[27]
Sporcle Live also hosts private events[28] and puts on an annual trivia convention known as TriviaCon.[29]
Haymaker Public House[edit]
Sporcle opened its own bar in Ann Arbor, Michigan called Haymaker Public House.[30][31]
Mobile apps[edit]
In 2010, Sporcle released an iPhone and Android application with 250 games, though it has since been expanded to include any compatible quiz.[32][33] Sporcle also has an Alexa app.[34]
Sporcle Live has an iPhone and Android application to help live trivia players find nearby trivia nights, RSVP to events, and access visual rounds.
