The new series will launch on April 1st.
It's similar to its other interactive series like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch or Cat Burglar, which is a narrative interactive experience. Answering the questions correctly will help free the friends of the main character, Willy, who vows to save the citizens of Trivia Land from the clutches of a knowledge-hungry villain.
The show is part of the growing slate of interactive titles. The company plans to experiment with more as it expands its gaming initiative, and the second game, after Cat Burglar, will include a trivia element.

There will be a new episode of the show every day in April. This isn't an April Fool's Joke, according to Weil, who writes that each episode will include 24 questions in a multiple choice format. Science, entertainment, sports, art, geography, and history are included. The New York Times reports that the game is based on a book by Etermax.
Players will be able to replay the quizzes and answer questions that they missed. We don't want to tell you too much about the end of the individual quiz, but we can tell you that it features a definitive ending. You will have to play to see.
It will be available on phones and tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and consoles, as well as on the web. Devices that are not currently supported include Apple TV, some Chromecast devices, and browsers that use Silverlight. There is a full list here.
