BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written, one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Token on GeckoTerminal, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

👉 The Token is now live on DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »

William Faulkner, Nobel Laureate

William Faulkner Is Born — A Southern Voice That Shaped Global Literature

On September 25, 1897, in the small town of New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner entered the world. Known for literary masterpieces like The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Absalom, Absalom!, Faulkner redefined narrative form and placed the American South on the literary map.

📌 Why This Matters

Faulkner’s influence extends far beyond American letters. His pioneering use of stream-of-consciousness, fractured timelines, and deeply introspective characters inspired generations of writers — from Gabriel García Márquez to Toni Morrison. His ability to dissect race, memory, pride, and decay in the American South laid bare the inner workings of a complex cultural landscape still relevant today.

🎯 How Well Do You Know William Faulkner?

Unlike many authors, Faulkner created an entirely fictional yet hauntingly real county — Yoknapatawpha — a literary microcosm that reflects the soul of the South. His work demands patience, but rewards the reader with insight, depth, and humanity rarely matched in literature. His Nobel Prize acceptance speech remains one of the most quoted in literary history.
