On5 Entertainment’s first game Charadium is a highly polished pictionary with online play (recently acquired by ngmoco). With their second game Quizarium (FREE), are the results it just as good?

Are you too brainy to keep it to yourself? Then try the new Quizarium app to pit your wits against other smarties like yourself. Select a category, answer fast, and participate in numerous tournaments.
Thoughts
There was something revolutionary with Charadium. What with being able to draw your own drawings and have people guess it?! It really is more exciting.

Quizarium pales a little in comparison because this is simply answering questions. While I’m not suggesting people should be able to write their own questions, I think a variety of the question-format answer should vary say multiple choice OR true or false.
Features
✓ Three difficulty levels;
✓ Many subjects (Nature, Science, People, Sports, Arts, etc.);
✓ Push invitations to invite friends to your game room;
✓ Create your own game rooms with desired parameters;
✓ Share your knowledge via Twitter or Facebook;
✓ Three visual design themes: personalize your own quiz zone;
✓ “Did you know” facts on start-up to boost your intellect;
✓ You can choose either endless game mode or the one with a limited number of rounds;
✓ Leaderboards and awards from Plus+ social play network;
✓ Offline mode: if the network is unavailable or you just want to play alone you can still have quiz fun. If so, the app will automatically update the database of questions for you;
✓ Color options to mark you out in the chat: choose one that pleases the eye and stimulates thinking.
✓ Console-like commands: type “help.” in-game for the full list.

Conclusion
Quizarium is still fun, feature rich and just as polished as Charadium though I require to see more variety in the gameplay. Something tells me though based on the overall production alone, ngmoco might have to fork additional money for this one!
