The likes ofColonial Marineshad all but killed hopes of a decent adaptation, whileIsolationwas a beautiful love letter to Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror masterpiece.

It’s a strangely compulsive and massively popular trivia app that pits you against other players in short quizzes. There’re tons of themes for the quizzes, from your bog-standard general knowledge through to naming Disney characters. And now it’s getting a game show.
