I envision that this will come in the form of an update to the Zune player and allow a section to play this game. I then see that, just like a podcast, you can download a block of like 50 questions to your Zune and play it whenever you want. Even more like a podcast, you can have each block of 50 titled by the genre or decade it is in. That way, each person can choose to only download blocks that they want, not all of them. When they finish the block of 50 or blocks of 50 that they have downloaded, they just sync it up and Zune records all the correct answers or maybe just the overall score and it shows in the list of blocks that it has been completed. People then have the choice to delete completed blocks and download new ones or keep them to try for a better score.
Now, with this ability to play it on your Zune, obviously, it will be much different than online trivia games because we are restricted by the few buttons we have. So we can't have any questions where we give a typed answer. That leaves multiple choice or true and false. Although I do recognize that this creates a drawback to the game, I am hoping that the ability to take the game with you will make up for that. I also think it will be much easier to do questions with song clips or album art or even pictures of band members. The multiple choice doesn't even have to be A,B,C, or D. It can be a list of 10 or 15 choices to make it even more difficult.
As far as being able to submit trivia questions, I think that would be good. I think there could be a section here on the Zune site that gives you the opportunity to submit your own questions and also rate the ones out there now. With the rating, that will help any editors or moderaters needed for the questions. They can focus on the key points of a good question and the general public can pick apart everything else. I think that not only should we get points or credit or whatever for blocks of questions completed (with a passing score), but also for questions submitted or ratings given.
