The trivia questions are delivered via email or download in .xls files or tab delimited text files (other formats are available upon request). Here are descriptions and samples (download below) of the formatting we use from our database:

Unique Question ID:
Each trivia questions and/or factoids is given a unique ID number from our database. We keep track of all deliverires to our customers, upon reordering you will not receive any duplicates.

Difficulty Rankings:
We tag each question with a difficulty ranking for use as a guideline to compare questions within a category. Keep in mind the questions are by category and the difficulty rankings assume the player/reader has selected or is targeted to the category.  In most instances the player/ reader has some basic knowledge of facts related to the category. We come up the the ranking either by the history we collect through testing by our pool of quiz takers or in the case of newly written or custom categories we use our experienced trivia editors or writers to assign a ranking. The rankings are as follows:

• 1 = Easy (Most people will get these correct, "no brainers" in some cases)
• 2 = Medium (Some knowledge about the subject is required)
• 3 = Hard (Difficult to very difficult for most people)

Zones:
We divide our database into three top level zones, each question is tagged by a Zone.
We can deliver General Trivia which is a mix of all three of these zones.

• Entertainment Zone
• Sports Zone
• General Knowledge Zone

Categories:
Under each Zone is a more descriptive Category which each question is assigned.
