The Trivia Ball asks trivia questions and pays for the correct answer. Designed with club events in mind, the Triva Ball can be configured by the owner, then will start a game anytime someone (such as an event host) pays the prize money to the ball. Questions can be asked at preset intervals, or at the command of the owner or game host. Anyone within chat range can play, simply by responding in open chat. If you see the question, you can play! A game host can be anyone in the same group as the Trivia Ball, or may be specified individually on a notecard for greater control.
Trivia questions are provided by up to 100 user-provided notecards; each containing up to 500 questions. One notecard, containing over 300 questions, is provided, and it is very easy to create your own notecards. The notecard is selected from a menu at the start of each game. Each game starts at a random point in the notecard, so that the same old questions don't keep popping up.
The Trivia Ball allows for flexible matching of responses, permitting alternative answers to be specified in the notecard, and uses a pattern matching scheme to recognise a range of correct responses.
Using the Trivia Ball is very simple: the owner sets the number of questions in a game, and how much to pay for the first correct answer to each question. The machine then displays a floating text message, such as "Pay $L100 to start a game of 20 questions worth $L5 each." When an authorized person pays the amount to the machine, they become the "game host", and the game begins. Normally, the machine will ask questions at a predetermined interval (by default, 30 seconds) but this can be disbled by the owner; in any case the machine will also proceed to the next question whenever the owner or game host touches it.
(Please note, some people are beginning to sell trivia questions for my trivia ball (search "Trivia Questions"). While this is very exciting and I wish them well, I cannot endorse anyone's product. It is also very easy to make your own cards for the trivia ball.)
- Over 300 questions included!
- Free automatic updates!
- Customize to your own language!
- Add your own trivia quickly and easily!
Does what it says on the tin
I had it up and running in minutes. Some idiots have left negative reviews because they (a) haven't read the instructions and (b) don't know how debit permissions work in SL. ALL tip jars, vendors, donation kiosks and trivia balls REQUIRE debit permissions so it can pay out winning, ding bats.
The only think I don't like about it is (a) the number of scripts in the thing and (b) I can work out how to change the floating text colour.
Don't waste your time
Says that you can load up to 100 trivia notecards or more, but I load about 20 and keep getting an error and have to figure out what's going on. If I take a few of the notecards out, it then allows me to use the ball. I'm just over it and will find something else.
If I could give no stars I would
Don't waste your money on this. It doesn't work anymore.

cant add people as host, tried all there is in names and it is totally ignored
