Africa is the only Trivia bot delivering trivia tournaments at the same time in all groups where the bot is present (central command). Tournaments are delivered daily (3 - 4 times) generally in lots of 50 - 60 questions (30 min per tournament, approximately 35 seconds per question). In the end, the ranking is displayed, based on the results collected from all groups (Top 20). The bot removes each question when the time expires, therefore there is no spam. Only the information related to the start of the tournament and the ranking remains, which you can delete at your own will.
• add the bot to the groups
• provide the bot with admin permissions (delete messages required)
• type /trivia on chat. Confirmation message will follow.
• wait for the botmaster to initiate a tournament. Don’t do anything else.
Once installed, group admins should refrain from any other bot command

- in case of heavy overload, the bot may skip sometimes deleting the previous question (please delete manually if you notice)
- in case the group admin decides to opt-out of a tournament, there is a possibility during the next tournament the previous one to be resumed
- if you remove one admin, the bot may go into "sleep" mode. Use /trivia command in the group to wake him up
