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.

8 Oscars Later, It’s Still a Classic

👉Marquee Event

On October 21, 1964, the American musical film My Fair Lady, starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn, premiered at the Criterion Theatre in New York City. A critical and commercial triumph, it went on to win eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

📌 Why This Matters

Few musicals have left such a dazzling mark on cinema history. Adapted from the stage musical (itself based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion), My Fair Lady set a new standard in costume design, set production, and musical storytelling. Its success crowned Audrey Hepburn as an immortal screen icon and made Rex Harrison's portrayal of Professor Higgins legendary.

🎯 How Well Do You Know My Fair Lady?

Did you know Audrey Hepburn’s singing voice was dubbed in most musical scenes by Marni Nixon, a common practice at the time that sparked controversy? Despite that, Hepburn's luminous performance remains one of her most beloved.
