What's new
Everything we've added to Aha Trivia, newest first. Got an idea? Tell us.
Our new home is ahatrivia.com
October 19, 2026
- Same account, new address: Aha Trivia now lives at ahatrivia.com. Sign in there to use your existing account, points and purchases. Old web links take you to the new address.
- Update your home screen: If you installed the old app, open ahatrivia.com/play/ in your browser and add it to your home screen again. Guest progress saved only on the old address stays on that device's old address.
AhaBulb is now Aha Trivia
October 19, 2026
- Same game, new name: We're now called Aha Trivia. Your account, points, streaks, badges and certificates all stay just as they are, and the web address stays the same for now.
- Installed the app?: The game inside updates by itself. On some phones the home screen label keeps the old name until you remove the app and add it again.
- Colors follow your phone: The site and the game start on Auto, so they match your light or dark setting. Dark mode now keeps the words easy to read.
Two simple plans, each for two people
October 19, 2026
- Monthly or Lifetime: Membership is now just Monthly or Lifetime. Both cover two people, and you can add more family members for $1.99 a person a month.
- Founding Members: join before the spots fill: Only the first 100 members get Aha Trivia free for life. After that it's $99.99 for a lifetime pass. Play at least once a month to keep your free spot.
- A simpler Drive mode: Drive mode now shows only what you need: one big Start button, Change test, and settings tucked away. Big text and big buttons.
- Put any game on your site: Every course page has an embed code. The game plays right on your page, and players can come to Aha Trivia for the rest of the cards.
- Print any deck: Under every card: print the first 50 cards free when you're signed in, or get the whole deck as a PDF right away ($3 a test, $5 for every Aha Trivia Everyone card, free for members).
- Your profile, full size: Your profile shows your avatar big, with everything you've collected. Swap pets, vehicles and gear, change colors for free, or trade coins for a month of membership or a printable deck.
- Play first, pay later: You only see the option to buy a test after you finish its 50 free cards, or when you go to print it.
Every source gets checked
October 18, 2026
- New cards are fact-checked on the page: When an AI helps write a new card, a computer now opens every source it gives and checks the quoted words are really on that page before the card can be approved.
Play the moment you arrive
October 16, 2026
- Today's card is on the home page: The first thing you see is today's card. Tap an answer right there and the game opens with your score, a dad joke if you're right and the why if you're not.
- Switch tests from any card: Every card shows the test you're playing. Tap it to jump to another test without going back to the start. Guests see a Join free button right next to it.
- Drive mode shows the joke and the why: While Drive mode reads the dad joke after a right answer, or the why after a miss, it's on the screen too, so a passenger can read along.
- Founding Members: After a few cards the game shows how many free-for-life Founding Member spots are left, with one tap to claim yours.
Every free practice test in one list
October 16, 2026
- One page for every practice test: A new page lists every free practice test and quiz with a one-line description, so you can find the one you're studying for fast.
- Questions people ask, on every test page: Each test page now answers the common questions: what's free, how many questions there are, the real test's format and where the answers come from.
Finish the test you started
October 16, 2026
- See what's left in your test: When you've played a test's free cards, the game shows how many more cards are waiting and takes you straight to the plans for that test. After you subscribe, you land back in your test with every card open.
Codes show their price before checkout

Companions, unlock a test with coins, and Olivia, the Aha Trivia octopus
October 13, 2026

Merit Badge Wall, coins and the avatar shop
