Quiz Blaster: How to Play
Quiz Blaster is AIVX Labs' Galaga-format trivia shooter. Multiple-choice answer options fly across the screen as ships, and you have to identify and shoot the ship carrying the correct answer before it exits — shooting a wrong one costs you.
Key takeaways
- Quiz Blaster uses the Galaga format: answer-choice ships fly across the screen rather than descending in formation.
- You have to read the question, identify the correct answer-ship, and shoot it before it exits the screen.
- Shooting a wrong answer-ship carries a cost, so accuracy matters as much as speed.
- It covers the same AI, business, and marketing trivia content as the rest of AIVX Labs' quiz content.
- It's a different mechanic from Bot Invaders — lateral, timed shots instead of vertical, descending ones.
The format: Galaga, trivia edition
Quiz Blaster borrows its shape from Galaga rather than Space Invaders: instead of enemies descending in rows from the top, answer-choice ships fly across the screen in lateral formations. You're tracking movement across the play field, not down it, which changes the rhythm of the game compared to a straight descent.
How a round works
A multiple-choice question appears, and each answer option is assigned to one of the ships currently flying across the screen. You read the question, track which ship is carrying the correct answer as it moves, and fire before it exits the play area. Miss the window and that ship is gone, along with your shot at that answer.
The cost of a wrong shot
Unlike just missing a shot entirely, hitting the wrong answer-ship in Quiz Blaster carries a real cost. That makes rapid-fire guessing a bad strategy here — you're better off confirming which ship holds the right answer before you commit to a shot, even if that means letting a ship get closer to the edge of the screen than feels comfortable.
How it's different from Bot Invaders
Both games test the same kind of AI, business, and marketing trivia knowledge, and both wrap that trivia in a shooter format. The difference is entirely in the movement and risk profile: Bot Invaders has answers descending toward you with no explicit penalty mentioned for a wrong shot beyond wasted time, while Quiz Blaster's lateral movement and cost-for-a-wrong-hit design reward more deliberate targeting.

What's the difference between Quiz Blaster and Bot Invaders?
Both are trivia shooters, but Quiz Blaster uses the Galaga format — answer choices fly across the screen as ships you have to catch and shoot in time — while Bot Invaders uses the Space Invaders format, with answer choices descending from the top in formation.
What happens if I shoot the wrong answer-ship?
Shooting a wrong answer costs you — it's not a free action, so guessing at ships without confirming the answer is a real risk in Quiz Blaster.
What topics does Quiz Blaster cover?
The same trivia categories used across AIVX Labs' arcade — AI, business, and marketing questions.
Is Quiz Blaster harder than Bot Invaders?
They test the same underlying trivia knowledge, but the lateral, timed movement of ships in Quiz Blaster plus the cost of a wrong shot changes the pacing compared to Bot Invaders' descending-alien format.
