QuizUp hits Android in private beta, public launch slated for next week

[Guest Jared Peters]

 

QuizUp, an extremely popular quiz game on iOS, is finally, almost ready to make its Android debut. The game is fairly simple; you select a topic from over 300 choices, and QuizUp matches you with someone that’s judged to be about as smart as you are about that topic. It then quizzes both players with multiple choice questions, and the faster you select the correct answer, the more points you win. It’s a game of balancing intelligence, speed, and good guesswork, and it’s a ton of fun.

 

You can also challenge specific friends to quizzes, and even if they aren’t available to play immediately, QuizUp will record your answers and timing and your friend can catch up later. It’s a fantastic example of asynchronous multiplayer done right.

 

As of right now, QuizUp is in private beta. Like similar Android betas, you can sign up by joining the Google+ group then installing the app from the Play Store. If you aren’t a fan of beta testing things, you fortunately won’t have to wait long for the app’s official release, as the developers are planning on getting the app available to everyone on the Play Store within a week.
