Hanx101 Trivia, a trivia recreation that’s narrated by actor Tom Hanks, will quickly be one of many video games completely out there on the Apple Arcade subscription service (via Variety). Despite the identify, it’s not a recreation devoted to quizzing you about Hanks’ profession — a press release from the game’s developer, Blueline Studios, says it’ll function “tens of thousands of questions” about topics like historical past, math, geography, and meals. (I’m hoping the later set accommodates not less than one query a few field of chocolate.)

The recreation will function a head-to-head competitors mode, a crew mode, and a “Hanx101 mode” the place you apparently attempt to get a excessive rating whereas answering 101 questions. There may also apparently be “unique formats such as ‘Word Jam’ and ‘I Spy,’” although the advertising and marketing materials for the sport appears to go away what these will appear like as an open query. The recreation is ready to launch Friday, September 2nd.

I’ll be sincere, this looks like a really bizarre challenge to me. First of all, there’s the identify; Blueline’s official website for the sport particularly types it Hanx101 Trivia with no area between Hanx and 101, whereas the Apple Arcade itemizing does have an area. Secondly, it’s a recreation being marketed as “a way for Tom to share his love and passion for trivia with his fans, casual gamers, trivia aficionados, and YOU.” I had no thought he was such a trivia fiend.

Not that being bizarre is a nasty factor. As I stated earlier than, I’m completely going to do that out. And it’s good to see Apple experimenting with what kinds of initiatives are coming to Arcade. Just prior to now few months, the service has gotten Cooking Mama and Frogger video games, together with a sequel to Jetpack Joyride, a kart racing recreation that includes Hank Hill, and a port of the notorious Goat Simulator.

Hanks isn’t any stranger to creating content material for Apple’s providers; he stars in Finch and Greyhound, two motion pictures that premiered on Apple TV Plus.
