The Impossible Quiz

Splapp-Me-Do's The Impossible Quiz defined the "trick question" puzzle format, most of its questions look like ordinary multiple-choice trivia at a glance, but the actual correct answer usually depends on reading the question literally rather than answering what it appears to be asking.

Because the obvious answer is almost always wrong by design, rereading a question's exact phrasing before selecting anything tends to reveal the trick faster than guessing based on general knowledge. Limited lives mean a wrong guess costs real progress, so skipping a question you're unsure about and returning to it later, if the game allows, usually beats burning a life on a blind guess. Brain Test: Tricky Words runs on the exact same trick-question logic in a different visual format.
