What makes trivia feel hard
Niche categories and longer prompts raise the difficulty.
Fast timers create pressure even on familiar topics.
Difficulty depends on the category, pacing, and how strict the answer format is.
Finding higher difficulty
Look for skills that offer advanced or expert settings.
Ask Alexa for challenging categories to avoid beginner rounds.
If a skill supports it, choose specialty categories like history, science, or literature.
Keeping hard games fun
Play in teams so everyone can contribute.
Use short sessions to avoid fatigue.

When to switch to general trivia
If the group stalls, move to broader categories.
General trivia keeps the pace up without losing challenge.
Switch back to harder categories once the group warms up again.
