Facts and Fun with ArcaMax Trivia

Trivia buffs can learn new obscure facts — and have fun testing themselves — seven days a week with ArcaMax Publishing's free trivia tidbits, columns and interactive quizzes.

ArcaMax's free trivia newsletter ( http://www.arcamax.com/trivia ) is one of the company's most popular publications with 82,000 subscribers. The ezine, or "online newsletter," recently expanded to a daily format with the addition of a Saturday edition, which features "The Answer Man" by Andy Seamans. The author of "Who, What, When, Where, Why in the World of American History" takes a condensed approach to history in his columns, which have recently included topics such as vice presidents' trivia and famous quotations.

"It's a clever and informative column, and it gives you fun facts while letting you challenge yourself," said Scott Wolf, ArcaMax CEO. "It's another feature we think will attract new readers and be enjoyed by our current subscribers."

Until now, subscribers have received six days of content every week, including a collection of fun facts every weekday and interactive trivia quizzes on Sundays. Sunday editions include interactive trivia quizzes on topics ranging from classic novels to space exploration. Popular quizzes recently have been on obscure topics such as "Stupid Criminals" and "Celebrity Motorcyclists." Once readers have taken quizzes, they can see their scores and how their results compare to other users.

The weekday editions of Trivia include a collection of fun facts on one theme per day, such as the Nobel Prize, Superman, or classic science fiction. An archive of these facts, as well as Answer Man columns and featured quizzes, are also available directly from the ArcaMax Web site.

"Our trivia section ties in to other parts of our site in various ways," Wolf said. "Science and Technology readers can take quizzes on the periodic table or astronomy, and entertainment fans have many to choose from such as Broadway, films, and celebrity happenings."

ArcaMax Publishing is a family-friendly site and all ezines and channels are provided with free access — all features are advertising supported. The ArcaMax Trivia ezine, with the new Answer Man column, is just one of more than 40 free newsletters available, including daily recipes, 16 popular cartoons including Garfield, Bible verses. ArcaMax also offers more than 600 free classic books available by email one chapter per day or online.
