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 »

A Tribute to Tolkien

September 2, 1973 – J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of Middle-earth and modern fantasy as we know it, dies at 81.

His stories didn’t just entertain; they redefined the genre, spawning generations of imitators and admirers.

📌 Why This Matters

Tolkien showed the world that fantasy could be literary, mythic, and meaningful. He didn’t just open a door to another world; he built the bridge.

🎯 How Well Do You Know J.R.R. Tolkien?

Even decades after his death, Tolkien’s impact spans across books, films, gaming, philosophy, and even linguistics. Elvish is taught. Quenya is spoken. And the road goes ever on and on.
