New iPod Game 'iQuiz' Coming

MacRumors · Apr 18, 2007, 04:03 PM

Electronista notes that some eagle-eyed French iTunes users have spotted the brief appearance of a new iPod game dubbed "iQuiz" on the iTunes Store.

Quote:

"Test your entertainment knowledge with iQuiz, a timed question-and-answer game for your iPod," it reads. "Test your knowledge of the songs, artists and albums present on your iPod and take on the challenges of questions about movies, music and television. Create your own personalized Trivia Packs and play those created by others."

Apple currently includes a more basic quiz game with its iPod and iPod Nanos.

That could be really fun.

brooker · Apr 18, 2007, 04:06 PM

ooooh... pretty pictures for the game we all already have! I pay! I pay!

...

...

... NOT!

Thataboy · Apr 18, 2007, 04:07 PM

Cute. But this makes me think that an ideal game for the iPod would be You Don't Know Jack.

darwen · Apr 18, 2007, 04:08 PM

yeah, I hope this is not just a rehash of the game already on the iPod.

mikeinternet · Apr 18, 2007, 04:09 PM

this should be free

viperguy · Apr 18, 2007, 04:13 PM

Sounds like the same game that comes with my ipod...
not appealing to me at all

Insert my standard argument for 'open up the development platform to everyone'

FreeState · Apr 18, 2007, 04:27 PM

Now if I could get this for my AppleTV I'd have a great casual party game!

applemax · Apr 18, 2007, 04:28 PM

Is it on the ipod already? do you mean the music quiz?

Mgkwho · Apr 18, 2007, 04:33 PM

Yes, he means music quiz.

games.

how about an operating system, please?

"Create your own personalized Trivia Packs and play those created by others."

People will go NUTS over that. Play/make/share trivia quizzes on technology, TV shows, music, movies... people love that kind of thing.

Flowbee · Apr 18, 2007, 04:56 PM

Awesome. I love when people catch little leaks like this. Looks like fun.

You can get Linux for iPod. Just Google iPod and linux

Sonofhaig · Apr 18, 2007, 05:15 PM

I'd love to see a real time version that can be played through itunes, and apple TV.

edit: okay, so others think this would be a great idea too...... lets get on it apple.

Somehow I don't think that's what he meant. ahem...Tiger.

mrgreen4242 · Apr 18, 2007, 05:32 PM

I don't understand why people seem to think this is Music Quiz with graphics... it seems fairly obvious it's a quiz game with questions and answers, not "name that tune".

Sounds like fun, especially if the create your own question packs thing is done well - I can see a pack for every little internet niche out there being posted within days...

No, that's not it either. ahem... Leopard?

*sob*

I'm gonna go cry in the corner. Come get me when October rolls around.

I can not believe a new iPod game is front page news. Are we that staved for news that we will settle for this as news? It is great news. Just not front page news.

I think he meant "I don't want no stinking ipod games, give me leopard"

Apple is giving us a game to keep us occupied while we wait for an operating system and a phone.

This is good people! Very thoughtful. I hope they charge us a lot for it.

Clive At Five · Apr 18, 2007, 06:22 PM

*applause*....?

NOT.

While it's nice that Apple's iPod division is thinking of ways to enhance our user-experience, there are other things they could be doing... like developing a multi-touch-wide-screen iPod.

Please.

There I asked nicely, now give it. My iPod died on Sunday and I need a new one.
