Hi all. In the last update you used to be able to log in to facebook and see which of your facebook friends play trivia crack. I can't seem to find that in the latest update. Is there a way to do this or is that option gone? I really like that bible trivia game that Mama Peach suggested and

The Sporcle app has Bible quizzes, but I've never played them. Sporcle is pretty accessible but not perfect. I still have a lot of fun with the quizzes on it. They're the same developers that created Word Ladder. HtH, Teresa Winging its way from my iPod On Mar 13, 2015, at 3:05 PM, Rebecca

My only beef with Trivia Crack is when you get questions that are visual, like Who is this?, or What country is this?, or What does this sign mean? I think all of us should bombard their twitter and email accounts suggesting that inaccessible questions should be optional. -Original
