Inflight Trivia Challenge
Created by Dan Harris, of eFlyte
Available on all Virgin Atlantic aircraft with the V:Port system, Inflight Trivia Challenge is a cabinwide multiplayer trivia quiz, of 20 multiple-choice questions on a variety of general knowledge subjects. A high score table personalised to each aircraft proudly displays the top ten scores achieved by passengers.
In recognition of me finally achieving a place on a high score table (a recent flight on G-VWEB) I have created this thread dedicated to this addictive game.
I need some help in acquiring screenshots of all current high score tables, and an attempt to keep them updated. Please see posts below.

Key points:First to deliver multiplayer games on IFE platforms (Inflight Trivia & Chess)
First to deliver SMS/email application on IFE platforms
First to deliver Linux games on PAC S3000i and eFX platformsFirst to deliver Hi-res (800x600), Hi-color (16-bit) and 16-bit audio games on IFE platforms
I recently spoke with Dan Harris, the creator of Inflight Trivia Challenge, and asked him about the game on Virgin aircraft...
Virgin's trivia game has been in service since 2002 and offers a
cabin-wide multiplayer trivia game for the passengers on Virgin's flights.
Are there any cheats to get high scores?
Sadly, there are no cheats; however, you are welcome to try to memorize the questions!
Are the questions updated?
The questions can be updated periodically, and the game knows not to repeat a question on a flight. Planned changes for the future are uploading of high scores to servers on the ground and possibly allowing competition between aircraft.
Theres a funny bug on the game, where a ^ symbol has a habit of appearing in random places around the high score table..
The ^ is coming from a bug in a part of the system which is writing the high score file.
How many other airlines do you supply games to?
A bunch of other airlines...we have 88 airline customers worldwide but I don't have a list in front of me of those who are flying the trivia.
