On Question Difficulty, Categories and Bugs
You may have noticed that there is no difficulty selection in the game yet. The difficulty of questions is highly subjective and while we lack the data of how players handle the different questions the difficulty may be all over the place. As more and more players play the game we record how many people correctly answer each question and will be able to improve the difficulty ratings over time. Once we have accumulated enough data to statistically determine the difficulty of most questions we will add the difficulty selection to the game.
We only introduced categories relatively late during development when we already had thousands of questions in the game. Also, categories may still change. Questions need to be manually assigned to appropriate categories. Due to the massive number of questions and limited number of hours in a day the categorization of all questions is an ongoing process. So we apologize if you occasionally encounter a question in the wrong category. This will improve over time as we manually go through the questions.
Here and there you will still encounter bugs, though most should not be game breaking. Errors will appear as red error messages in the bottom left corner of the screen. You can just ignore them if the game continues. Errors are automatically tracked by the game so we can retroactively check what went wrong without you having to do anything. However, sometimes it helps to have some context. If you'd like to report bugs, please use the community forum: http://steamcommunity.com/app/701280/discussions/ We're grateful for every bug report! Obviously we very much want to get rid of all the bugs.

Good afternoon! As the game was just released 2 hours ago I'd like to point out a few things about the current questions and possible bugs. During Early Access we're still actively developing the game and plainly some things are not finished yet. One of the things we're still working on is the categorization of questions according to difficulty and topic.
