FunTrivia is a trivia website. It was the first trivia website added to the Yahoo directory and used to be the largest trivia site on the web in terms of traffic. It was one of the first entertainment sites on the web to use a community-generated content model to create all of its content.
It contained over one million trivia questions in over one hundred and forty thousand quizzes categorized into nearly sixteen thousand topics, all submitted by over four thousand different contributors. Quizzes are created and submitted by members of the community and placed online for anyone to play for free. Crosswords could also be created and played by anyone, and they also had to go through the editing process.
New submissions were checked by category editors before being published, and prior accepted submissions may be modified without editor intervention. All editors on FunTrivia are volunteer community members. As of 2023, there are around 18 volunteer editors maintaining site content.
FunTrivia also pioneered the "Ask a Question" model in early 2000,[1] in which visitors could ask a trivia question and receive answers from other guests.
