Daily 5 Trivia - Retro Quiz

Daily 5 Trivia, subtitled Retro Quiz, is a small app by Matthew Garvin of 1button.app, a Canadian maker of a few simple apps. It came out on the App Store in November 2025 and is also on Google Play. Its listing calls it the Wordle of trivia: one short quiz a day, done in a minute or two.

Every midnight a new quiz of five questions goes live, the same for everyone. Each week is set in one decade, from the 1960s to the 2010s, with the 1990s coming up most often, and each quiz has its own subject within it, such as 1990s Movies. Subjects shown in the store include sport, music, film, TV and pop culture.

A question gives you four answers and a countdown. Only correct answers score, and the faster you tap the right one, the more points it is worth, so the day's total sits somewhere in the tens of thousands. After the fifth question the app tallies your score, shows your place in the world, and lets you open the leaderboard, where players are listed by initials and country, or read through the correct answers.

The questions are written by people, many of them players who offered to contribute, and the app is firm that none of it is generated. Some quizzes come with a longer note on one of the answers, which the app calls a Rabbit Hole, such as a piece on Bernie Madoff's dot-matrix printer. A recent update added a casual mode beside the ranked daily.

There are no ads and no tracking, and the app is free. It suits people who grew up with the decades it covers and like a quick daily round with a ranking, though the multiple-choice format gives anyone a fair chance.
