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 Date Which Will Live in Infamy

👉 Marquee Event

December 7, 1941 — Pearl Harbor Attack

On this day in 1941, the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, came under sudden attack by Japanese aircraft. The surprise military strike killed over 2,400 Americans, wounded more than 1,000, and destroyed or damaged numerous battleships and aircraft. Within 24 hours, the U.S. formally entered World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously declared it "a date which will live in infamy."

📌 Why This Matters

The attack on Pearl Harbor was a turning point in 20th-century history. Until then, the United States had remained officially neutral in the growing global conflict. But after the attack, public opinion shifted, and Congress declared war on Japan the very next day. The U.S. would go on to play a pivotal role in the defeat of the Axis powers. Pearl Harbor reshaped global alliances and permanently altered America’s role in world affairs.

🎯 How Much do you Know about the Attack on Pearl Harbor?

Although the attack was a major tactical victory for Japan, it failed to hit key infrastructure, such as oil depots and repair yards, which allowed the U.S. Pacific Fleet to recover faster than expected. In fact, all three U.S. aircraft carriers stationed in the Pacific were out at sea during the attack—none were damaged. Their survival proved critical in the battles that followed.
