QuizUp gets over a million downloads in its first week on Android

Kamran Farooqui

QuizUp, the uber popular trivia game, has racked over a million downloads in only its first week since its release on the Android platform. While already boasting millions of players on iOS on which QuizUp was first released, a strong launch on Android would only serve to further boost its popularity.

The Icelandic startup Plain Vanilla Games is behind this addictive trivia game, and with securing $22 million in funding within just 4 months of its release, I think it’s certain that QuizUp is here to stay, and the figures revealed by Plain Vanilla Games can probably back up that claim. With over a million signups in a week on Android and over 100,000 signups every day on both iOS and Android combined, QuizUp sure seems to have managed to strike a chord with its audience.

While there is no dearth of trivia games and apps such as Quizoid and Icomania on both Android and iOS, I think the reason that QuizUp is proving to be more popular is that the folks over at Plain Vanilla Games have managed to get the gameplay right. QuizUp makes you feel as if you are playing against a human opponent on the internet in real time, when in fact the opponent’s actions are a simulation of their pre-recorded answers that they probably gave when they played the game.

Also, the ability to send messages to your friends or just random people that you played against, and the ability to post trivia topics of your own liking give the game a social feel as well. With thousands of questions already in the database and over 400 topics to choose from, you will surely be spoilt for choice for a trivia topic of your liking.

QuizUp for Android attracted 1 million new signups within its first week, averaging 100,000 new users a day

quizup review

After first launching on iOS in November, Plain Vanilla game’s popular trivia game QuizUp finally landed on Android earlier this month. At the time, there were whispers about how QuizUp could be the next super-hit (fad) app taking the crown from Flappy Bird.

So how well has QuizUp done since its Android debut? According to Plain Vanilla Games, the app saw a million new signups during its first week on Android and has been constantly grabbing 100,000 new daily signups ever since. Combining its iOS and Android users, the trivia app has 12.6 million users and has seen over 40 million trivia matches. Here’s a fun fact: Plain White Games says that all its users combined have reportedly spent a total equivalent of 176 years playing the game since its original debut.

There’s no denying that QuizUp has been a run away success so far, and in our official review we found that the game was largely enjoyable, though not without its faults including occasional factual errors in questions, spelling mistakes and other minor issues.

The big question is whether QuizUp can hold onto this success in the long-term, or if it’s user base will eventually lose interest and move on — as we have begun to see with Flappy Bird and the many clones that followed it.

Have you tried QuizUp yet, if so what do you think of the trivia platform based on your experience with it?
