Metal Storm Presents MetalQuiz
We have devised a neat little trivia game for you to flex you metal knowledge muscles.
The idea is very simple: we (and you!) add questions in form of trivia, image or short audio sample - and everyone can then try to guess the band (and sometimes the album).
- Questions appear randomly
- You have 2 tries and one hint (if provided)
- Questions have point value from 2 to 6, depending on difficulty. Half of the value is determined by band popularity on MS, and half by the submitter.
- Using a hint subtracts half of the points, failing on first try subtracts 25% of the points. Guessing the album is +1 point.
- If you're the submitter or have been to the question's edit screen (meaning, you know the answer), the question will never appear for you.
At the moment there are only 80 questions (most of them submitted by myself, so please excuse the lack of variety), but we're hoping that with your help this number would soon expand tenfold!

Very nice idea. I might even submit some questions.

Cool! Tried a couple of question and it's an awesome feeling when you see an album cover, by a band you've never listened to, but you know somewhere deep inside that you've seen it and just guess a band and album and... full score! Same when you hear a song you've never heard and guess everything right.

Written by [user id=121504] on 04.09.2012 at 17:49 No, sorry. It is this way on purpose so that people don't use alt accounts to go through the questions and then answer them all correctly in their main account.

Written by Ivan on 04.09.2012 at 20:51 To be blunt I find that a dumb reason not to let us know about music we like the sound of and otherwise would not have found.

Written by Rupert on 04.09.2012 at 23:02 Since the questions can be answered more than once and there's a score table, it's expected for it to work this way.

Is this a serious quiz with cash prizes? Is it that big a deal to have a few more cheaters up top if it means most people will benefit from seeing the correct answer after they've tried?

OK, i submitted three decent questions and all three were rejected. Now i came along a picture in the quiz: The cover of Burzum's album Aske. You could clearly read Burzum and Aske on the picture. Wtf is with you guys??? Who rejects and accepts those questions?

There are no cash prizes, or rewards of any kind on this thing, and I'm not really harming anybody by using google to find the songs I like but don't know. On the contrary, I'm finding good music that I haven't heard before, which is the point of this whole thing, I imagine. So yea, I don't stop at the ones I don't know, and neither should any of you . Have fun, poeple! PS. Don't get the idea that I've cheated my way up there, I answered a lot of the questions by myself.
