We have 1700+ quizzes in the bank.
700 or so are movie quizzes.
another 600 are TV quizzes.
Right now, a visitor to the site will work through one quiz on a particular movie, for example, at a time, and, if s/he feels like it, move on to another movie's quiz after that.
David had this idea for what he calls Eternal (or Infinite) Trivia, whereby we set up some sort of randomizer - when person X click on the link for Infinite Trivia, a question is pulled from the bank at random. Person X sees the question (along with something to identify which movie's quiz it's from) and attempts to answer it. The next screen shows the answer, and then there's a link to the next random question.
We have 36k+ total questions, about 28K+ are on movies, in the bank, so there's virtually an endless supply of questions someone can attempt.
An offshoot of this idea: all of the quizzes are categorized by genre, so you could, if you wanted limit it to sci-fi movies (we have more than 80 of those), you could limit the randomization to that. Or, spend a rainy Saturday afternoon answering random questions for just rom-com movie quizzes.
We still have some stuff to flesh out, but that's the gist of it. I think that it's a great idea and something that would really appeal to the die-hard movie buffs.
