"When the USA Almost Adopted the Metric System (And Why They Didn't!)" reads like a party game more than a quiz. Luna hosts the whole thing aloud, which means the pack works as well on a group call as it does passed around a room.
Everyone plays on their own device — no app, no signup, no one typing their name into a second screen. You share the link, they tap it, the gameshow starts. 20-second timers, instant reveals, final scoreboard. About 5 minutes for the full run.
What makes the pack feel live is Luna on the mic. Luna brings calm, poetic energy to every question — warm, measured, thoughtful.
When the pack ends, there's a one-tap "challenge a friend" share that carries your score into the new link. Good for Discord servers, group chats, fan communities, and the back half of any party where you need something to do. Pack language: English.
Expect roughly 5 minutes for a full playthrough. "When the USA Almost Adopted the Metric System (And Why They Didn't!)" has 10 questions on a 20-second-per-question clock, with voice-hosted reveals in between.
Players don't need to register. Share the link, they open it, they play. Trivana is built so hosts (classrooms, events, Discord servers) can spin up a game without forcing every participant through a signup flow.
"When the USA Almost Adopted the Metric System (And Why They Didn't!)" is hosted by Luna, one of Trivana's seven AI gameshow hosts. Luna narrates every question, reacts to answers in real time, and gives the pack its on-mic personality. You can read Luna's full profile and hear the voice at /hosts/luna.
The pack is rated medium — a mid-level challenge — expect questions that reward genuine familiarity with the topic but don't require deep expertise. Combined with the fun tone, it's a good fit for mixed groups with some knowledge of the topic.
At its core, "When the USA Almost Adopted the Metric System (And Why They Didn't!)" is about Bizarre Historical Events. Questions pull from themes including Measurement System Debates, Founding Father's Influence, Congressional Authorizations, International Exhibition Impact, Presidential Signatures, and Voluntary Conversion Challenges. Exact questions are held back from the landing page so the first run still feels fresh.
Published language: English. Trivana supports ten languages end-to-end (English, Spanish, Hindi, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Chinese), and the AI host speaks each of them natively rather than translating text on top of an English recording.
These 5 games share canonical tags with this one — same fanbase, adjacent angle. Each is a complete playable round with the same AI voice host format.
